Ashton case awaiting decision ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It’s still a wait for a former Vernon teacher and administrator facing two counts of perjury. It will be at least August before Supreme Court Justice Geoff Barrow renders his decision on Deborah Louise Ashton, who is charged in connection with statements she made during her first trial in February 2011 on five counts of allegedly having a sexual relationship with a former student. Court reconvened Friday in Vernon following a three-month break for closing submissions from Crown lawyer Don Mann and Ashton’s lawyer, G. Jack Harris. Closing submissions could not be heard in March due to scheduling conflicts between Barrow, Mann and Harris. After both sides took the majority of court time Friday to give their arguments, Barrow said he would not have time to make a same-day decision. “I recognize the need to get this over
with,” said Barrow, who announced that all parties will get together July 8 to fix a date for a decision. Barrow is working a trial through the month of July and not available before August. Ashton’s first trial resulted in a hung jury. She was then acquitted on all five counts in a second trial in March 2012 in front of a Supreme Court Justice alone. She was charged with perjury before the second trial with Crown alleging that Ashton made false and misleading statements in regards to a bracelet she allegedly bought her accuser, who cannot be named because of a publication ban, and the bracelet contained the inscription ‘I go with you.’ Ashton said she could not remember purchasing or giving the bracelet to her accuser. Asked during her trial if she had purchased the bracelet for the complainant, Ashton replied, “No sir, I can’t tell you that.” The other misleading statement Crown claims Ashton made was that she “always
picked up and dropped off her son” at daycare. Ashton admitted during her second trial that her answer on that matter was incorrect, and Harris reiterated Friday that Ashton had overstated her answer. To prove perjury, Crown must convince Barrow beyond a reasonable doubt that Ashton’s answers were false; that she knew they were false when she gave them and that she deliberately misled the court when giving the answers. “It’s my submission the accused went about to systematically dispute or deny the allegations at the time,” said Mann. In regards to the bracelet, Mann said to Barrow “when you look at the purpose of her defence, the only inference you can come to is that she intended to mislead the court that she either purchased or gave the bracelet to the complainant.” The same argument, Mann said, could be used for count two; that she intended to mislead the court about always picking up her son from daycare.
Mann said both of Ashton’s answers were “not plausible.” Harris said Crown failed to prove its case on either count beyond a reasonable doubt. On the matter of the bracelet, Harris pointed out that whether or not Ashton “purchased” the bracelet was a non-issue at trial as Mann never questioned the wording. Harris called the alleged gift to Ashton’s accuser “insignifcant.” “The bracelet was meaningless to him,” said Harris. “Crown says the bracelet is significant but he didn’t want the bracelet. He said twice he never wore it.” Harris also took aim at one of the lead investigators of the case, Vernon RCMP Cpl. Sue Kolibaba, who testified she could not remember showing a photograph of Ashton to a Vernon jeweler. Kolibaba, he said, was given the benefit of the doubt in making a mistake, but not his client when it came to her answer regarding the dropping off and picking up of her son at at Vernon daycare.

City promises better, cheaper facility service richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon vows to improve services and keep costs in line through the restructuring of recreational facilities. All Greater Vernon jurisdictions have tentatively agreed to a deal that would see the city own and operate Kal Tire Place, the recreation complex and Priest Valley Arena. In return, Coldstream and the electoral areas would provide an Will Pearce annual grant for access. “The partners will not pay a nickel more beyond the approved budget,” said Will Pearce, the city’s chief
administrative officer. “We will have better services and cheaper services for our clients.” The city is proposing to reduce ice rental fees as a way of increasing usage, while reducing overhead costs. A total of $690,000 a year would be invested in upgrading the facilities. Coldstream and the electoral areas would not have a role in day-to-day decision-making, but Pearce insists there will be financial transparency through audited statements. There would be no specific end date to the agreement but any partner could indicate after four years that they wish to renegotiate in the fifth year. Pearce is convinced that five-year clause puts pressure on the city to meet the jurisdictions’ needs.
Design
“The city needs to show we are good managers.” Support is coming from Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor. “There is a real opportunity to see improvement in the facilities. I have faith in the city. It’s in their best interest to run it (service) well,” he said. As part of the proposed deal, $1 million in reserves could be directed towards replacement at Civic Arena, either next to Priest Valley Arena or Kal Tire Place. The remainder of possibly $6.9 million would be borrowed in a referendum involving all jurisdictions. it could possibly be held in November 2014. “The public will speak in terms of a referendum and have their say,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.

Local food bank requires wheels richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s food bank is struggling to help the hungry because of equipment failure. The Salvation Army’s cube van has died and that’s creating operational and financial challenges. “It will cost too much to David MacBain fix,” said David MacBain, community ministries director, of the 11-year-old vehicle. “It’s used five days a week and it does pick-ups for the thrift stores and the food bank. Every morning it is out picking up bread from local
stores.” The Salvation Army is also lacking a forklift to move donations. “As the food bank has grown, we have needed to add shelving. A forklift is necessary,” he said. Currently, a forklift is being rented but that takes away from limited financial resources. As a result, a call is being put out to businesses or service clubs to donate a forklift and a van. “If it’s a new van, we can provide a donation receipt,” said MacBain, adding that the Salvation Army doesn’t have the funding available to make these purchases. “It’s a big ask, but it’s also a big need.” Anyone interested in helping purchase a van or forklift, can call 250549-4111.
VJH project moves forward Morning Star Staff
Another step has been taken towards more acute care beds at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. The Interior Health Authority has shortlisted Graham DesignBuilders and Stuart Olson Dominion Construction for the next stage of the selection process for the completion of the sixth and seventh floors in the Polson tower. “Every milestone in this project is important. Our community is pleased to see this process moving along, as we look forward to expanded care for patients and their families,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. Six teams responded to the project’s request for qualifications.
With Graham and Stuart Olson identified, the next step is the release of the request for proposals. A preferred proponent will be selected following an evaluation of responses to the RFP. IHA expects to select a preferred proponent and have construction start by the end of 2013. It is anticipated the two floors will open in the summer of 2015. The two floors will contain 60 beds, with 14 being new and 46 relocating from elsewhere in the hospital. The project cost of $29.6 million is being shared between the provincial government, the North OkanaganColumbia-Shuswap Regional Hospital District and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation.

Vernon’s Mike Watson would love the chance to interview new Vancouver Canucks head coach John Tortorella. And you could possibly help Watson get that opportunity. Watson, 23, is one of 24 finalists for The Score TV network’s fifth-year show Gillette: Drafted, which will give one lucky person a chance to be “Canada’s next sports broadcaster.” “I think I’d do great around John Tortorella,” laughed Watson, a personable, well-spoken Clarence Fulton Secondary graduate. “I truly think he’s funny. You have to take those guys with a grain of salt. They’re going to do their thing whether you agree with it or not.” The third time auditioning for Gillette: Drafted proved lucky for Watson, a dark-haired, dark-eyed, bearded broadcast journalism student at BCIT in Burnaby. He stood in front of a camera, answered some questions, did an interview and an off-camera rant about some topic on the world of sports. What he did was enough to convince show producers to name Watson one of the 24 finalists that will now head to Toronto Aug. 7-10 for a pre-competition boot camp. “There will be a series of small competitions,” said Watson, who has watched the show every year. “Last year they did on-street performances, complete with camera crew, and they did streeters (interviews with the public on roadways). “There will be a trivia test and a chance to sit in on a panel, join in the discussion and see how you feel as you add your two cents worth.” After boot camp, the 24 finalists will be pared down to six. Two of the 24 will get automatic berths in the final six thanks to a Facebook contest promoting the show and the finalists. Simply go to Facebook, type “Drafted” in the search bar, then click on the show logo. You will see a picture of the 24 finalists. Watson’s photo appears with the name “Mike W.” All you have to do to help him out is click on “vote.” Part of preparing for boot camp is the campaigning he plans to do for online votes. “There’s really not much I can do other than be very personable to people and get comfortable speaking with people,” said Watson. “This weekend is a very big weekend. I’ve got my brother helping me. I’ve had a T-shirt made that has my face on it along with “Vote For Mike” on the front, and

Mike Watson is competing to be a sports broadcaster in Gillette: Drafted. “Drafted” on the back. “My family and buddies will be wearing them at Funtastic. People will ask about the shirt. We’ll tell them to take out their phone, go to Facebook, then Drafted and hit click.” Posters for Watson have also been made up and put in local businesses. A golf, soccer and basketball enthusiast, Watson said the broadcasting bug bit when he was a kid. “I always thought it was really cool to learn about the knowledge of sports, then I thought deeper and thought how cool it would be to be doing what these guys are doing,” said Watson, who lists The Score’s Greg Sansone and legendary NFL play-by-play announcer Al Michaels as his favourite broadcasters. Watson likes his chances of surviving boot camp, planning to use his confidence, personality and throwing in some humour, to advance to the final six. If successful, he’s that much closer to landing his dream job. “It would be an unbelievable career,” he said. “If I couldn’t play professionally, the next best thing, in my opinion, would be to surround myself around it and to be almost as involved by covering it.” Facebook voting runs through to August. The overall winner will receive a one-year contract to work for a national sports TV network as its newest sportscaster.

A local builder is going to new heights to try and ease neighbouring concerns that views will be lost to development. Approximately 16 Middleton Way residents signed a petition and many came out to Coldstream’s council meeting Monday to air their frustrations. The residents are opposed to a height variance, sought by the Highlands (one of the last remaining phases below Middleton Way). “We have such a beautiful view of the valley and this will be greatly impacted,” said Middleton Way resident Louis Boucher. Despite a staff report suggesting otherwise and the builder’s confidence that sightlines will not be impacted, residents are fearful that their valley views will be lost.
“It’s a worry, it’s a bit frightening for all of us,” said Kerry Kucy. To help ease concerns, Highridge Homes builder Mark Wensley is going to walk the site with helium balloons to show residents exactly how high the homes will sit with the variance - which has not yet been approved by council. Council will have a special meeting at noon Tuesday to tour the Highlands phase 6 development “If it’s an impact we’re happy to say OK, we will back down,” said Wensley. It will also give council members an opportunity to see the impact themselves before the issue is brought back for consideration at the July 8 council meeting. The height variance being sought is from five metres to 6.5 on lots 19 to 33 of phase six of the Highlands at Kalamalka Lake.

Bradley Michael Thomas Haslam, 18, was killed in an industrial accident while working in the early hours of June 15. He was working on the main floor in the area of a waste conveyor when he came into contact with equipment in the area. In its inspection report, written on June 17, two days after the accident, WorkSafe B.C. stated a waste conveyor was “observed without a guard to prevent contact by a worker,” which is in contravention to the occupational health and safety regulations. “A belt conveyor must have accessible nip points of spools and pulleys guarded to prevent contact by a worker,” states the report. Workers were not permitted back in the area until barrier guards or other safeguarding devices were installed. The investigation into the accident is continuing.

Gaming funds defended richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Lottery Corporation insists Vernon’s share of gambling dollars isn’t being undermined. The City of Vernon has expressed concerns that online gaming has led to fewer customers at casinos and that is impacting revenue the community receives. “It (online) is such a small part of the business but it’s an important part of the future of the business,” said Susan Dolinski, BCLC vice-president Susan Dolinski of communications. “For the foreseeable future, it won’t be a competitive threat to the land-based business.” Presently, the city receives 10 per cent of the net revenue from the local casino. Dolinski says the city’s share has gone from $1.7 million in 2006 to $2 million. “That 18 per cent increase is well used by the city and BCLC has also supported a number of
events in Vernon,” she said, referring to $50,000 over two years for problem gambling awareness. BCLC says the net provincial income from online gaming is about $20 million. “It’s about the size of the Vernon casino,” said Dolinski. “That represents about one per cent of BCLC’s overall business.” One billion dollars is returned annually to the provincial and local governments, and Dolinski says the vast majority of that comes from casinos. “Vernon is doing quite well and B.C. is doing quite well when you look at the casino industry,” she said. “BCLC has maintained revenue at a stable and consistent level.” However, the city says BCLC had a record net income of $1,107.4 million in 2011/2012, largely because of egaming, while casino and community gaming revenues in B.C. fell short by $41 million. In terms of Vernon’s request to have increased access to gaming funds, Dolinski says, “It would be a decision of the government. It wouldn’t be a decision of BCLC.”
Global Ed’s future under review Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A public plea to save the Global Ed program won’t resurrect it for this year, but it could have an impact for future years. Anita Kajla, a former Global Education student from Fulton, has been on a mission to save the program, which was cut for the 2013/14 school year due to a lack of interest from students. Joined by four other concerned individuals, she made a presentation to the Vernon school board Wednesday to see if anything could be done. “The meeting itself was great, the speakers I had did amazing and spoke right from the heart,” said Kajla. She was joined by Ty Cheyne and Blake Balmer (Ellison Elementary students), Brittany Locken (a Grade 10 student from Fulton who had applied for the program), Al Gee (a past Global Education teacher), Annette Sharkey (Social Planning Council, also a past chaperone for the Nicaragua trip) and Maria Besso (Coldstream councillor and a past parent of a Global Ed student). The board listened to the presentation, which was made public, but due to policy it does not take action or respond to requests at the time. “Trustees require time to review the request and obtain any additional information that may be required before offering a response to the request which is normally made at a later date,” said board chairperson Bill Turanski. “The board will be looking at reviewing its policy on ‘optional’ programs.”
“The teenagers spoke from their hearts.” — Anita Kajla
Kajla is confident that presentation helped show the significance of the Global Ed program and the impact it can have on students. “Al Gee’s speech moved the crowd and everyone else in that room, we were in tears by the time he was done,” said Kajla. “The teenagers I had speaking did phenomenal, they spoke from their hearts, and they clearly stated how the school board’s actions affected their futures.”

Happy Canada Day, eh
H
ey it’s time to rally around the flag for Canada Day. So make sure you grab a beer, crank up the barbecue and assemble the lawn chairs in the backyard..........O Canada..... Of course some of you may not like beer, prefer your food steamed and detest those largely uncomfortable chairs but, hey, as the commercial says, we’re all still Canadian. Speaking of defending our national honour, I did take note that our anthem wasn’t played for the Stanley Cup finals in either American city (although my wife questioned why I should care and why I was watchGlenn Mitchell ing a finals between Boston and Chicago in the first place, well I’m Canadian and it’s hockey and it was a great series and we have a history with these teams and....) Now it’s not a big deal and I don’t know who sets the protocol for such things, and I understand it was down to two teams that happened to be U.S.-based, but it seems to me that a league that has seven Canadian-based teams could include us in the finals. I think the NHL could insist on that and I’d like to think that if it was two Canadian-based teams in the finals (OK, stop laughing, it could happen one day, well, maybe not in my lifetime but....) that we’d sing both anthems and.... ....but enough whining, although one could argue that it’s one of our pastimes, there’s plenty of reasons to feel good about ourselves this weekend. Like basketball for instance, apparently we’re on our way to becoming a powerhouse. Two, not one, but two picks, including No. 1, in Thursday’s NBA draft are from the True North Strong and Free. That’s pretty impressive stuff and cause for
MitChEll’S MuSingS
pride in a nation living next to the world’s dominant basketball nation. Maybe they’ll have to start singing O Canada for the NBA finals one of these days, eh?..... .......I watched the CFL season opener Thursday night, well most of it, from that beautiful new stadium in Winnipeg. Unfortunately for the Blue Bombers, new stadium but same old result, although it was a highly entertaining game that revealed all the great aspects of our version of football, in other words lots of scoring and not so much defence..... .......and moving outside, and away from sports, how about the weather? And I say that, finally, in a positive way. Just in time for Canada Day, and Funtastic, a break from the rain, and if weather forecasts can be believed, even smoking hot. Which seems appropriate, not to mention, timely, and if we don’t get summer started here shortly we might find we miss out entirely cause as you know we only get two months of the season and if......whoa I think I’m getting dangerously close to whining again here.... .....so with the sun shining, do get outside this Canada Day weekend and live a little. There’s the lakes and beaches and orchards, the golf courses, all Funtastic has to offer, Silver Star, O’Keefe Ranch etc. etc........ ......and on Canada Day, which actually happens on a Monday this year, get out and enjoy yourselves with fellow Canucks at events in Falkland, Lumby, Armstrong, Enderby and Vernon in the usual locations. And don’t forget the fireworks at DND on Monday at 10:30 p.m. Some say we’re too shy about showing our colours, you know saying sorry too much and the eh! thing and all that, but I do think when it comes right down to it us Canadians are truly a patriotic lot. So celebrate all things maple leaf this weekend (but, er, do it safely, of course, and not so loudly that your neighbours complain and......) Happy Canada Day one and all.
On Monday, Canada will be 146 years young and the North Okanagan is ripe for celebration. There is so much to celebrate about this crazy country of three ocean coastlines and five time zones. Give a toast to this country of comics, of spendthrift senators, of wild weather, of vinegar on French fries, of hockey, of high taxes, of CanCon, of pogey, icky-bicky, loonies and toonies, of adoring the CBC, of hating the CBC, of voting, but against rather than for a party, of choosing not to vote but bitching about the results anyway, dammit! Salute this remarkable land that has blessed us with all this and more. Don’t for a moment think we cannot be brilliant. Consider just a smidgen of what Canada has offered up to the rest of the globe: the CPR dummy, the anti-gravity suit, automatic lubricators, Balderdash, basketball, the electric cooking range, the electric wheelchair, the Fuller brush, hockey, the kayak, kerosene, lacrosse, computerized braille, the electric car heater, the electric light bulb, instant mashed potatoes, film colourization, Pablum, the Jolly Jumper, the zipper, the snowblower, the snowmobile, the heart pacemaker, the electric organ, the IMAX movie system and the goalie mask. There is also Pictionary, birchbark canoes, retractable beer-case handles, snow shoes, steam foghorns, table hockey, Superman, toboggans, synchronized swimming, Velcro, fivepin bowling, the Abdominizer, Yahtzee, the AC radio tube, acetylene — and, of course, three-down football, the way God meant it to be played. Happy Canada Day. — Kamloops This Week

Hopefully Canadians of all ages will be singing O Canada with unbridled enthusiasm while waving our national flag in one hand and holding a piece of birthday cake in the other. Canada was built by hard work, personal sacrifice and tolerant determination. Progressive Canadians have always been this country’s most valuable national resource. Cherish and protect our democracy and by all means have a happy Canada Day, eh.

Lloyd atkins core review When any large organization is examined by a qualified third-party there is always the risk of hearing things that may not be comfortable. Such has been, I fear, the experience of our city council. I am referring to the KPMG recommendation that the City of Vernon pursue the amalgamation of the members of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee into a single municipality. This recommendation came as a result of examining the various agreements and financial commitments that Vernon has with its immediate neighbours. Vernon city council has missed an opportunity to look at this perennial issue of one municipal government for Greater Vernon. It declined to even study the possibilities. Why decline the opportunity to know and understand? To this observer, council preferred to respond in the negative by relying on preconceived notions and emotion rather than clearly presented facts. This to me is a most regrettable decision. Council took so many good actions with regard to the core services review and yet stepped away from gaining a fuller understanding of the regional governance issue that has been the elephant in the room for so many years. Alas, we will continue to observe the complicated dance at GVAC, remembering that these various performances are what may have moved KPMG to recommend a single municipality for Greater Vernon in the first place. I don't believe that amalgamation should be pursued without a clear understanding of the ben-
efits or pitfalls that would accrue to the effected taxpayers. Without a very clear and honest case for one municipal government, it would require too great a leap of faith on the part of the voters to support such an initiative. This would be too much to ask But I also believe that it is not too much to expect our elected officials to honestly examine the possibility of a single municipal government. Shawn Lee
Previously, I have voiced my concerns to Lumby Village. I was told that they follow turf management policies of the Regional District of North Okanagan. If it was true, then our turf in Lumby would look much like other playing fields in Vernon such as MacDonald Park and Marshall Field. I was at a soccer tournament recently in Vernon. The field was lush, green, thick and three inches deep.

Growers seeking support richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Okanagan orchardists are looking to civic leaders to help keep the industry viable. The B.C. Fruit Growers Association is making the rounds to local municipal councils to discuss issues of importance, including housing for foreign workers, water, invasive pests and support for the Sterile Insect Release program and starling control. “Agriculture is the main industry in the Okanagan with new plantations and new technology,” said Jeet Dukhia, BCFGA president and a BX grower. Farm housing is a subject being dealt with locally in Coldstream. An application will be coming forward from a local orchard for additional housing. “We do have one major grower who is looking at additional houses on their property,” said Mike Reiley, the district’s director of development services. With growers increasingly reliant on labourers from Mexico, there is a need to provide somewhere for them to live. But the challenge, according to Dukhia, is a lack of government funding in B.C. “In Washington State, the government has provided $100 million towards worker housing,” he said, adding that there needs to be a study on the issue. In terms of water, the BCFGA is pushing for more reservoir investment to ensure there is sufficient supply for crops. It also wants a regional approach to water management. “We need more of a master plan. That’s what they’ve done in Washington,” said Glen Lucas,
“Agriculture is the main industry in the Okanagan.” — Jeet Dukhia
BCFGA general manager. Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon councillor and Okanagan Basin Water Board director, believes there is a need to focus on local food security. “The issue of agricultural water is upper most on our agenda and we understand how important it is,” she said. Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor, is encouraging the BCFGA to take its various concerns to senior government. “Those are large issues that at the local level we don’t have the mandate for,” he said. But Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick believes municipalities can have a role in lobbying for agriculture. “I think we can have conversations about this at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (convention),” he said. Pat Pimm, a Peace River MLA, was recently named B.C.’s agriculture minister. He is the seventh person in the portfolio since June 2008. “We have invited the new agriculture minister to the Okanagan. He said he is busy, ‘So why don’t you come to Victoria?’” said Dukhia.

Legion receives funding richard rolke Morning Star Staff
An organization that has contributed to the community for decades is being assisted with restructuring. The Vernon branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will receive a one-time grant of $8,000 from the City of Vernon for relocation, storage costs, insurance and other related expenses. “The legion has a mandate John Miller to support the community and it’s done an incredible job of that,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol. “This (grant) will help them keep their charter and they will be allowed to do fundraising in the community.” Other organizations also seek help from the city, but Nicol believes it was important to recognize the financial challenges currently facing the legion. “It’s only fair that they who have helped others
have support during their time of need,” he said. The legion recently closed its lounge on 29th Street because of high overhead costs. “Currently, we are in the process of negotiating an agreement with another service club for smaller space and consequently our costs will have lower overhead,” said John Miller, branch president, in a letter to the city. “Our executive and I as president are looking forward to implementing our new business plan that we believe will assist us in ensuring the survival of our local legion.” The branch had been completely reliant on revenue from the lounge to cover operations, such as utility bills, rent and wages. However, fewer people walking through the doors impacted the budget. While there won’t be a lounge, the legion will continue with its meat draws. Gaming activities, such as the meat draw, raised more than $31,050 last year for community charities. It cannot go towards operating expenses. The legion will also continue with its poppy campaign, which raised $32,435 in 2012 for veterans and their families.
YOU AND THE LAW WHAT IS BREACH OF CONTRACT? By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

what types of items are sold at Kin Beach and some Polson Park. “There is a trend in municipal parks to allow artisans to display and sell their work,” said Tannis Mary-Jo O’Keefe N e l s o n ,
Visitors to Greater Vernon parks may soon be able to purchase jewelry, clothing or art. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has approved an artisan vendor pilot program for 2013 at Kin Beach and Polson Park. “I like the idea of beaches and parks being more vibrant,” said director Mary-Jo O’Keefe. O’Keefe is convinced that commercial kiosks could be popular with local residents and tourists. “It will allow people to enjoy our public spaces more,” she said. The regional district will retain control over
community development co-ordinator. “A good example of this can be found in Kelowna’s City Park, where artisan vendors are located along the water-side walkway throughout the summer.” A single-day vendor permit would be $15 plus tax, while it
(but then you must be ready to perform your part of it too).
So what is a “breach” of contract? That’s when one party breaks the contract – the landscaping firm plants cedar trees instead of the magnolia trees called for by the contract.
Sometimes the agreement itself spells out pre-agreed consequences of a breach (e.g., it could say that the innocent party can cancel the contract in certain situations and keep a reasonable deposit put up by the other side).
What can you do if the other side breaches the contract? Normally, if the other party doesn’t do what they promised in the (hopefully written) agreement, you can get compensation (called “damages”) as one of your key remedies. In some cases, if things are going really sideways, you may also be able to cancel the contract.
would be $25 plus tax for a weekend. For an entire season (July 1 long weekend to Labour Day) would be $125 plus tax. Kal Beach may be eventually added to the venues where vendors can operate, but RDNO needs to have discussions with the District of Coldstream first.
At this point, you have the option to accept the breach and get compensation, though you should try and minimize your loss. Using our landscaping example, you’d want to try and hire a replacement outfit to do the landscaping work, for the best price then available. Alternatively, you could insist that the other party perform their side of the deal

In a few rare cases, where money wouldn’t adequately compensate for a breach, a court may order “specific performance,” forcing the other side to do what they promised. Your lawyer can advise you if “specific performance” is available in your particular case.
Timing can be a critical issue. The contract may say that a specific time for performance is essential (e.g., May 31 for completion of the garden).

The new addition is projected to be about 500 square metres, with the cost for the entire renovation and addition to be about $4.1 million “At some point, we would start fine-tuning the estimate to make sure we are on budget. We will confirm the project budget once we have detailed designs,” he said. “Early next spring we would be able to tender the project. The office can be operated while it’s being built because we will never have a window of time when we can get in there and renovate.” Board chairperson Bill Turanski reminded trustees of the time Premier Christy Clark was minister of education and made the comment that Vernon’s board office was the worst she had ever seen. “We’re going to lose our notoriety of having the worst board room in the province,” he said.

Constructed more than 40 years ago, the board office of the Vernon School District is long overdue for an overhaul. With only minor renovations completed over the years, the office has always fallen low on the priority list, behind new schools and upgrades to existing schools. At Wednesday’s district board meeting, maintenance supervisor John Tompson outlined some of ways the building might be improved. “We have a couple of drawings for you to take a look at, a few options as to how we might renovate,” said Tompson, showing examples in a PowerPoint presentation. “It’s not going to be the Taj Mahal of buildings, we’re just adding on to the box we already have.” The proposals take into account the lack of accessibility in the current building. There are no washrooms for staff in the portables on the property or in the board room. As well, there are a number of B.C. Building Code deficiencies, including the existing floor fire separation, the exit stairwell and handicap accessibility. “There is also no space to have an administrators’ meeting during the school year, and there are some functional challenges in the existing building, but a lot of it is in the mechanical systems.” The HVAC system is in particularly bad shape,

With the changes (expected to be finalized by next year sometime) the Lavington Community Association is hoping its park use agreements don’t change “We’re wanting to ensure we have the same relationship and services we currently have from Greater Vernon Service and the Regional District of North Okanagan,” said Lyn McPherson, LCA director.

Gyula Kiss adds: “I hope everything will be better otherwise there wasn’t really a use for change.” Pleased with the response, McPherson said: “I think we’re off to a great start, we’re all just waiting to see what will happen.”

present the board with a long-term option for assisting the effort. “This buys two months and we will have a policy for September. It saves a valuable service at the moment,” said Patrick Nicol, chairperson. United Way provides the passes to non-profit agencies who then pass them on to clients who use transit to get to government offices, the docPatrick Nicol tor’s office or to a job they just started. ““The price of bus fare is an obstacle for people attending programs or attending medical appointments,” said Linda Yule, United Way executive director. Among the agencies involved are the Armstrong Boys and Girls Club, the Enderby Community Resource Centre, the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre, Transition House, the Upper Room Mission and the prenatal program. Among the users are disabled residents. “Many have to go to Kelowna to see a specialist and a bus ticket gets them there,” said Yule. “It’s not taking away revenue (from the transit system). These people don’t have money for a bus PICKERS NEEDED ticket.” While RDNO must consider how it provides bus tickets longterm, some board 97A members are vowing support. “It’s a really good use of the transit system. I can’t imagine not letting someone on the bus,” said director Kevin Acton.

2013 Annual Report to the Community
Community Foundation Profiles Donor Bill Irwin Bill Irwin was active in his community all his life whether it was coaching kids on the ski hill he and his wife, Mary, built in Fort William (now Thunder Bay), serving as a ski instructor for the troops in World War II or participating as a member of the Vernon Rotary Club. Bill’s lifelong love of skiing began at age eight, when his grandfather gave him a pair of skis for Christmas. Bill persevered at the Amber Ski Club in his hometown of Princeton, eventually mastering cross country, downhill, slalom and ski jumping and went on to represent Canada in the 1948 Olympics in all four disciplines! Bill and Mary left Princeton for Winnipeg before making Thunder Bay their home and, in 1956, creating the Loch Lomond ski area out of a tree-filled mountain. The area was a great success fostering a number of National Team coaches as well as numerous ski racers, and the family thrived. Their four children, Dan, Doug, Dorothy and Dave all skied and all three boys were members of the national ski team. Dave went on to become a member of the “Crazy Canucks” in the 1970’s.
Another Rotarian, Bob Passmore, was giving a report to the club about the Community Foundation which the Vernon Club created and sponsored for many years. The club was trying to increase the value of the Foundation and, in his report, Bob detailed how a person could purchase an annuity that would pay the premiums on a life insurance policy. The premiums paid by the annuity would be tax deductible to the insured each year and, upon the death of the insured, the face value of the insurance would be paid to the foundation. Bill thought it was such a good idea that in 1988 he purchased an annuity and a life insurance policy and named the Community Foundation as the beneficiary of the insurance. He also created an endowment fund to be managed by the Foundation and donated $10,000 over a period of time. Bill remarried in 2004 and he and his new wife, Deanna, became golf fans both in the Okanagan and in their winter home in Yuma, Arizona. Bill continued to ski, at least once a year, at his son Dave’s fund-raiser in Alberta.
Bill and Mary Irwin June 1981
The Irwins sold their ski area in 1979 and retired to Vernon where Mary tragically passed away from cancer two years later. Bill became a member of the Vernon Rotary Club and it was during a meeting of the club that Bill found a different way to help his community.
Old Post Office Tower Clock Restoration Project Aided In 1912, Vernon opened a beautiful new post office complete with a British made tower clock. The building and clock lasted until 1959 when the post office moved and the clock was rescued by the owners of the Allison Hotel in Vernon who thought it too valuable to be consigned to the scrap heap. The clock and its dials languished in storage for ten years while its owners looked for a way to put it back in operation. Then, in 1971, the entire clock was acquired by the Vernon Centennial Committee. However, the dials and mechanism were separated with the dials being installed in a new “centennial” clock tower located outside the museum and operated by an electric motor. The mechanism found its way to storage at O’Keefe Ranch. Forty years later, in 2011, the Vernon Museum became the new owners of the entire clock and the clock restoration project began. With the assistance of two $5,000 grants from the Community Foundation, the main clock mechanism has been completely refurbished including a
When Bill passed away in February of this year his forward thinking and community-minded action resulted in a $100,000 donation to the Community Foundation, the value of the life insurance policy purchased 25 years earlier. thorough cleaning of the clock mechanism, the fabrication of a gear and bearings, and the fitting of a replacement pendulum that came from the original manufacturer in England. The clock’s dials and connecting linkages are now undergoing restoration and will be fitted to the clock’s mechanism once a support tower is constructed. This will be a delicate operation in itself as the four clock dials, linkages, and supporting framework will weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. This 8 foot, ½-ton square unit will then be lifted 13 feet in the air and fitted to the tower. Once the tower is built and the dials installed, the clock will be on permanent display and continue to operate in the museum. Its giant mechanism will be on view for all to see. This will prove to be a unique viewing experience, as the mechanism to most operating tower clocks is not readily visible to the public. The clock, a vital part of Vernon’s history, will once again be a source of pride for the community.

Community Foundation of the North Okanagan … A Message from the President Too often when discussing community foundations we hear about the size of the endowments or the growth in earnings, and certainly these are important measures of their success. But perhaps a far more important measure is the assistance that these foundations provide to their communities, the grants that help dreams come true. With this in mind, we’re very pleased this year to bring you stories about donors to the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan and about grant recipients who benefit from the foresight of those donors and the earnings from their endowments.
In 2011 the Foundation undertook the first Vital Signs Report, a community report card reflecting what citizens thought about key area indicators including health, education, seniors, employment, housing, and six others. Your Foundation is currently producing the followup report which will be published and available to the community in October.
Community Foundation Welcomes Fund Development Officer Leanne Hammond Leanne Hammond joined the Community Foundation team in late 2012 in the area of donor relations/resource development. The Foundation manages almost 150 endowment funds which, this year, will return in excess of $350,000 to the community. Mike Tindall,
Since the financial challenges of the 2008 recession, our foundation has rebounded to almost $12 million in funds under management. Our investment returns continue to be above average (10.1% in 2012) and ongoing donations from both new and existing donors add to our financial strength.
CFNO President The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan is one of 192 community foundations across Canada, almost 1,700 worldwide, stewarding endowments entrusted to them by citizens and other community groups. We welcome your enquiries about establishing new endowments and our Fund Development Officer, Leanne Hammond, would be pleased to meet with you.
Most importantly, these donations and earnings allow the Foundation to participate meaningfully each year in support of dozens of worthy community projects, activities and scholarships.
I would like to express appreciation for the contributions throughout the year from our Board of Directors, our Executive Director, our volunteers and, of course, our valued donors.
Teen Junction Drop-In Jewel of the North Okanagan Centre Supports Area Youth Reacquires Its Sparkle “At Teen Junction, we see the potential of every youth who walks through our door,” states Debbie Schiller, Executive Director. “We see how resilient they are in the face of adversity. We know they want to be good – they want to be great! Teen Junction is the place that helps to make that happen.”
The Lumby Museum, operated by the Lumby Historical Society, is clearly one of the Jewels of Lumby and some say of the North Okanagan. Until recently though there was one thing that clearly didn’t sparkle — its bathroom! The bathroom was in the basement down a dangerous set of stairs and it was old, unpleasant and not at all fit for public or staff use.
About 40 teens drop in every month. Five nights a week, they can count on a hot meal and healthy snacks, nonjudgmental and friendly staff and a space meant just for them. In this space, youth 13 to 18 years old can express themselves through music and the arts, exercise on gym equipment, access free computers and the internet and get rid of anger by shooting baskets, kickboxing or skateboarding. “The Junction building is only eight years old,” says Schiller, “but staff concerns about bullying and youth safety led to the need for critical renovations. We turned to our community for support and we were not disappointed!” Community Policing provided a “Crime Prevention through Environmental Design” audit and specific recommendations for changes to the interior and exterior of the building. Gavin Parsons, a local contractor, offered his services to manage the renovation and bring on his construction partners to provide in-kind services. The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan and its commitment of $7,000 was the final link needed to move ahead with the project. “In the future we can expand our summer hours,” says Schiller, “open earlier during the school year for 13 to 15 year olds who have quit school and continue to respond to the changing needs and great potential of all North Okanagan youth.”
Georgie Hay, of the society, explains the Museum plays a vital role in telling the story of this community named after Moses Lumby. Each year hundreds of people come through the Museum to experience its hands-on displays, its “animal stuffies” (taxidermy), antique household items like carbon paper, old toasters, and typewriters both electronic and manual. Along with these smaller items are, of course, the artifacts of the woods industry that has sustained Lumby through the years. Georgie lights up when she talks about the school children coming through and discovering a world long before they were born, and beams with pride at the story of this tenacious town on the edge of the wilderness told to travellers from around the world and right down the road. With all these visitors, having a clean, functional and accessible bathroom is critical. Now, with the help of local volunteers Brian Gray, Rainer Hops and others and a $1,035 grant from Georgie the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan, the museum has a new bathroom and this jewel of the North Okanagan will sparkle a little brighter!

Community Foundation Grant Foundation Supports Helps Furnish Grindrod Hall Pregnancy Care Centre When the North Okanagan Pregnancy Care Centre opens its doors in early 2014, sexually active youth and community members in Vernon will have a safe, confidential place to access both sexual health services and long-term support for unplanned pregnancy and parenting. Aided by a $4,000 grant from the Community Foundation, the Centre will begin providing medical confirmation of pregnancy and provide screening for sexually transmitted infection, assessment and treatment in an environment of care and compassion where clients can address significant life decisions.
The new Grindrod Community Hall will officially open August 10 during the annual Grindrod Days Event, replacing the aging hall with its 50 seat capacity. The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan provided a $3,000 contribution toward tables and chairs for the new hall which will seat 150 people and will, according to Project Manager Herman Halvorson, serve the needs of the community for years to come.
Due to the sensitive nature of their circumstances, Centre clients may avoid seeking medical help and primary care early in their pregnancies. With in-house medical services clients will be able to to make healthy choices particularly during early fetal development stages. By combining medical services with their current outreach via our trained peer support worker programs, clients can work through the complex reasons why they are engaging in behaviors that put them at risk for STIs. This empowers clients to address root causes, not just symptoms.
Vital Signs is Back! Two years ago, with the help and guidance of Community Foundations of Canada (CFC), the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan (CFNO) undertook a study which looked at the community’s overall health. Just as we would visit our doctor to determine the health of our bodies, it is equally important to analyze the health of our communities. Our 2011 Vital Signs Report did just that! The goals of the study were: ✔ Highlight areas of community need ✔ Encourage cross-sector thinking and initiatives ✔ Build community capacity through shared knowledge To achieve these goals, CFNO invited representatives from key Vernon organizations and local government agencies to participate in workshops. The idea was to develop a series of ideas and solutions which could contribute to achieving our goals. Additionally, local citizens were invited to participate in a survey process to provide the general public’s perspective.
Using data from Statistics Canada, BC Stats, Regional District of the North Okanagan (RDNO) and the City of Vernon, the study team gathered information in 11 key areas: • Learning • Housing • Safety • Seniors • Arts & Culture • Getting Around • Environment • Work • Belonging & Leadership • Health & Wellness and • Gap Between Rich and Poor. To see the entire 16 page document go to www.cfno.org and click on the North Okanagan Vital Signs link. You can download the document to your computer for viewing at your leisure. So what’s next? CFNO has already started the process of updating this report. Students and Faculty at Okanagan College and a group of Grade 12 high school students have already done many interviews to get the general public’s view. The CFNO team is searching out the latest research data available to update our findings for 2013. In early October, 2013 CFNO plans to deliver its second version of Vital Signs which will be of interest to Vernon & Area citizens. WATCH FOR IT!

Create a Legacy Today Funds Under Management
Hot Water Tank Upgrade Abbeyfield Houses of Vernon Society owns and manages one house in Vernon which provides accommodation for active independent seniors who, without this facility, might experience loneliness and insecurity. Abbeyfield House enables them to enjoy the comfort and support of a home-like atmosphere, companionship and social opportunities. The present hot water tank in the House has reached the expected life span and requires replacement. The current connection is to the main gas boiler that provides heat to the entire building. This makes operation costly.
The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan manages, on behalf of donors, almost 150 individual endowments that have increased in value to just over $12 million. The Foundation administers all aspects of the endowments from investments to tax filings and provides donors with annual statements for their funds.
Cumulative Grants and Distributions since Inception
As Funds under Management have grown steadily, so too have Cumulative Grants and Distributions to organizations. Annual grants and distributions are comprised of both directed funds (donor specifies recipient) and discretionary (or community) funds (CFNO determines recipient). The Foundation is working to grow the community funds in order to be better able each year to respond to grant applications from the community. We encourage new donors to consider this option for their endowments.
Donate Shares Save Taxes The Federal Budget of May 2006 eliminated capital gains on listed appreciated shares donated to a charity. This provides donors with excellent tax savings for donations of publicly listed shares or mutual funds. The DONATE SHARES GIFT PROGRAM is designed for individuals, families or corporate donors wishing to support charitable causes without having to establish a private foundation. Please call our Fund Development Officer, Leanne Hammond, for this attractive and cost-efficient method of donating to charity.
A $1,400 grant from the Community Foundation has enabled the installation of an independent gas water heater, separate from the gas boiler. This will provide significant cost savings, especially in the summer when the house is not heated. The Directors of Abbeyfield House wish to thank the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan for this grant and support of Abbeyfield House.

Presenters of the Canada Day fireworks show their pride as they get set to light up the skies Monday at approximately 10:30 p.m. Lake City Casino, City of Vernon, local fire departments and Sutton Group Lakefront Realty are all making it happen. You can also tune into the choreographed event on 107.5 Kiss FM or 105.7 Sun FM.
Canada Day blasts off Morning Star Staff
Canada Day will be a blast in Greater Vernon. A colourful light show will wrap up the nation’s birthday Monday at 10:30 p.m. at the Vernon Army Camp. “Kids of all ages will be delighted and wowed with the display and simulcast choreographed music,” said Terry Schmauder, event chairperson. “Weather is always a concern and we keep our fingers crossed that any storms hold off until after the show. Wind is of particular concern as safety regulations allow for a maximum wind velocity beyond which firing is not allowed.” The ball diamonds on the DND grounds will be empty except for the Funtastic concert by Theory of a Dead Man, so the public is invited to visit the site for viewing this year. Free B.C.

Do you feel a draft?
n his eloquent book, The Home Team: Fathers, Sons & Hockey, beloved Canadian hockey writer Roy MacGregor devotes a chapter on the lottery known officially as the NHL Entry Draft. In case your man cave has been flooded and your cable is down, the draft goes today in New Jersey. All seven rounds will be shown on TSN starting at noon our time. Vernon’s Curtis Lazar (Edmonton Oil Kings) is projected as a first-round choice, while Vernon’s Jedd Soleway (Penticton Vees) and former Viper Adam Tambellini (Surrey Eagles) are also on the radar. Kevin Mitchell All 30 teams pay their own scouts while following the league’s Central Scouting Bureau. Numbers don’t always add up as expected and some players never spend a minute in the NHL. Others, given little chance to play in the show, wind up in the Hall of Fame (ninth-round pic Luc Robitaille for one). Writes MacGregor on the 1994 draft in Hartford: “They come here like families arriving to celebrate a wedding, also knowing, yet never thinking that it could happen to them, that five or six hours from now, some will look like families leaving a funeral.” He also paints a very graphic picture of the teenagers waiting for their names to be called. He writes: “The young men who come this day wear new suits in which they do not yet feel right, Italian weave at times clashing with acne, pleats and sharp creases drawing attention to walks they have not yet settled on, their step somewhere between adolescence and manhood. Some are beet red, some are sweating, some sit with their young freshshaven faces in hands with tortured fingernails.” B.J. Johnston of the Oshawa Generals was at the Hartford Civic Centre with his father, Doug, and was never summoned to the stage. Wrote MacGregor: “He initially felt he had somehow failed his father, failed his family, failed himself. He went back to hockey largely because he didn’t know what else to do with himself.” Johnston started slowly the following season in Oshawa, and in November, demanded a trade. He
between the lines
finished strong with the Sarnia Sting and the draft day misery was fading. “I don’t even much care anymore,” he told MacGregor. “There are so many teams in pro hockey now and by being a free agent I can pretty much go anywhere that wants me. I’d rather be in the position I’m in than have gone to the New York Rangers in the 14th round or something.” Vernon’s Dave Oliver was chosen 144th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the ‘91 draft after four years with the University of Michigan Wolverines. Oliver will likely be at the Colorado Avalanche draft table today since he’s the Director of AHL Operations and assistant coach with the Avs’ affiliate Lake Erie Monsters. Oliver, who helped the Vernon Lakers win the 1990 Centennial Cup on home ice, realizes the draft doesn’t always produce slam-dunk talent. “You shouldn’t be in a hurry to get to the NHL,” he said back in his senior year at Michigan. “A lot of guys who try to get there quickly end up leaving quickly. I had a realistic impression of the draft. In other words, I know it doesn’t matter. I’ve played with a lot of first-rounders who are done, finished; and a lot of 10th-rounders who are playing in the NHL. You just do all you can and hope they’re paying attention. “But I didn’t even know they (Oilers) knew I existed until two months ago.” Oliver, now 42, finished his NHL career with 49 goals and 49 assists in 233 games. He was runnerup for the 1994-95 Calder Cup as top rookie in the lockout-shortened season with 30 points in 44 games. The winner was Peter Forsberg. The big Swede was drafted sixth overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the ‘91 sweepstakes. The Hockey News had ranked Forsberg as the 25th best prospect in its ‘91 draft preview, saying he was “a solid second rounder who could move into the first.” The pick was criticized by the Philadelphia media, prompting Flyers’ GM Russ Farwell and the team’s chief European scout to reply that time would prove them right. As for today’s draft, several teams have loaded up in anticipation of hitting the jackpot. Columbus and Calgary each have three picks in the first round. Buffalo and Dallas will select twice.
Tigers for Shamrocks in semis Morning Star Staff
It wasn’t the dream ending the Armstrong Shamrocks were looking for, but they are bound for the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs regardless. The Rocks wrapped up their schedule on the road with a dismal 16-4 loss to the No. 1 seeded Kelowna Raiders Thursday night at Memorial Arena. Armstrong, who finished third at 4-9-3, begins its TOJLL semifinal series by visiting the No. 2 Vernon Source For Sports Tigers (12-3-1) Tuesday night (all games 7:30) at Kal Tire Place.

The 12-3-1 Raiders, who shaded Vernon for first on goal differential, entertain the fourth-ranked Kamloops Venom (5-10-1) in the other semi. Had Armstrong won Thursday, they would have faced the rough-and-tumble Raiders. “It was probably better for us because we match up better against Vernon than we do Kelowna anyway,” said Irish head coach Bryan Cope. “But I hope we bring our A game. It’ll be a short series if we play like we did last night.”

Pitches claim women’s slo-pitch title Morning Star Staff
The Ice Cold Pitches entered the Vernon Square Liquor Store Women’s Slo-Pitch League playoffs as the third seed. They emerged champions Wednesday at Kin Park. The Pitches swarmed the fourth-ranked Ted Luszcz Bulldozing Dozers 14-3 to claim the playoff pennant in their first year in the league. Sheila Marchand and Tracy Nickel each went 4-for-4 for the Pitches, while five other batters went 3-for-4 and Kailea Kibblewhite went 3-for-3. The Pitches advanced to the final by grounding the No. 1 White House Mortgage Gators 8-3 Tuesday night. It was the Gators’ first loss of the season. Taryn Robertson and Kate Carter each had two hits for the Gators, who got one hit each from Michelle Embleton, Kelly Graham and Melissa Locke. Other members of the champion Pitches include: Tracy Bell, Brittany Housego, Marcie Fairbrother, Stephanie Worthington-White, Jackie Rivard, Taylor Weixl, Jenny Gartner, Krista Horton,
Lindsay Anderson, Courtney Bissell and Janelle Smithson. The Dozers earned their way to the final by ambushing the No. 2 Dave’s Mobile Mechanic Devils 20-8, then grounding the Gators 22-9 Tuesday. Facing elimination, the Dozers mercied the Devils in six innings, led by the hot bat of Tara Young, who went 4-for-4 with five RBI. Kas Oneill hit 3-for-3 with three ribbies, Traci Kenney was 3-for-4 with a double and four RBI, and pitcher Sherry Kineshanko was 2-for-3. After falling to the Gators by one run in extra innings the week before, the Dozers got their revenge. Oneill and Young each hit 4-for-5 with a combined five RBI, Vanessa Bostock was 3-for-5 with a triple and three RBI and Michelle Mulholland was 2-for-4 with a triple. Tiffany Discher and Locke both went 3-for-4 to lead the Gator attack. Graham, Jenn Thatcher and Kelly Jenner, who pitched both games, went 2-for-3.

The Vernon Controllers shaded Goplen Drillers 1-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. Felicia O’Gorman sent a cross to the far post to a waiting Jenn Spitzer, who touched it to Sherri Kineshanko for the tap in at five minutes. Shortly after, Jennie Currie made a run down the right side and cut the ball back to Spitzer for a great opportunity. The Drillers played well defensively but couldn’t get anything going offensively as the Controllers, led by sweeper Jody Pope, Brandi Hunter, Leslie Epp and Michele Wernicke stymied their attack. Midway through the second half, Controllers’ keeper Mickey Templeton gave the defence some anxious moments, watching the ball while backing up and then setting up on the wrong side of the post, prompting Epp to shout: “What are you doing?” There was no harm done as Templeton recorded the shutout.
Midfielders Currie, Emma Louie, Ang Durfeld and Amy Shupe had strong games, with Shupe earning the Brown’s Social House Player of the Match. In Division 2 action, the Centreline Attack stopped Capri Insurance 7-2 at Marshall #2 for their first win of the year under Greg Thalheimer (just back from Sounders soccer coaching seminar in Seattle). The Attack (1-7) ran the sub-less Capri girls into the ground with eight spares. Striker Sarah Kwantes pulled the hat trick, while singles came from Sue Chadwick, Brenda Bertin, Natalie Lussin and Jodi Hawthorne. Azra Cawley and Tessa Derksen were stellar in net, while Emily Sapford sparkled in her debut for the Attack. The OMG CHick Kickers shut down the Green Rockets 1-0 at Marshall #4. Rachel cross was amazing in net for the Rockets, who got a marvellous match from sweeper Lindsay Smith. Meanwhile, striker Kevin Mitchell
pulled the hat trick as Vernon Kal Tire outlasted Penticton United 6-3 in men’s 50+ action Thursday night at Mission 71 Field. Mitchell, who sailed a volley over the net from gimme range before netting his first goal, was named the Interior Freight & Bottle Depot Man of the Match. Striker Mike Lloyd supplied the opening two snipes for the Tiremen (9-2), while winger Kenny Rath added a single. Midfielders Jenne Huberts and Denis Chabot each helped set up three goals, while Rob Parkin was bold on the back line in support of Gordie Campbell and Ted Sheehan. Glenn Bergen (2) and Peter Toth countered for Penticton. It was 2-2 at the half. The Vernon Silver Stars rolled over the Summerland Rockets 10-3 at Reiswig Park in Lake Country. Rob Ross exploded for six goals, while Keith Chancellor added three goals for the Stars. The injury-riddled teams played eight-on-eight.
to push yourself beyond that.” To have success against the Tigers, Cope said the Shamrocks will have to find a way to slow down Vernon snipers Ryan Sarazin and Jordan Orr. “We need to stay 5-on-5 and keep our heads in it,” said Cope. “We need to work our asses off for the loose balls and run our motion (offence).” Drew Hassard was the Shamrocks’ main threat Thursday night, pocketing two goals in the first period and another in the second. Sam Hanley supplied the other snipe.
Austin Williamson and Stephen Ringdal earned assists. Andrew McMillan recorded 5+3 for the Raiders. Ryland Davidson netted a hat trick and league scoring leader Brendan Urban (61-45-106 in 16 games) collected 2+6. Cope was annoyed by the Raiders’ boorish demeanor, saying their style of play goes well beyond swagger. “They’re playing their same eight guys,” said Cope. “Even at the end of the game they’re up by 12 goals and they still have their superstars out there. It’s a joke.”

The Shamrocks started Thursday with only 14 runners, and then lost Colton DeBoer when he was ejected for fighting Scott Renner in the third period. Cope hopes he can muster enough bodies to field three lines against Vernon. He added the lack of manpower seems to be affecting team morale. “It’s like they’re tired before they start,” said Cope. “They think that if you start with 14 it’s the end of the world. It’s mental.

Regional BoaRd HigHligHts – June 2013 Water Consumption Fee threshold Reduced The Regional Board has adopted an amendment to the Water Systems Fees and Regulations bylaw. The change means that starting July 1st, the consumption fee threshold will drop to 90-cubic meters from the previous 235 cubic meters. Customers of the six RDCO water systems that use more than 90-cubic meters of water in a billing quarter will pay an additional 35-cents for each cubic meter used. Based on existing water use data, 86 per cent of customers should not be affected by the change. Provincial expanded Recycling Collection The Regional Board has accepted the financial incentives offered through a new provincial collection program for curbside recycling and depot services in the electoral areas as well as recycling public education and administration across the region. Once the program is introduced during 2014 many more paper and packaging materials will be accepted for recycling such as styrofoam, waxed containers and beverage cups. The new program provides financial incentives for the regional district and other local governments that agree to participate. Staff will present a future report to the Board regarding possible expansion of curbside collection in rural electoral areas that rely on transfer stations for waste and recycling collection in order to benefit from the program financial incentives. 2012 audited Financial and disclosure statements The Regional Board has approved the 2012 Audited Financial Statements for the Regional District of Central Okanagan. The Board also approved the 2012 report outlining remuneration and expenses for elected officials and their alternates along with 27 staff whose remuneration was greater than $75,000. Copies of these reports are available for viewing online at regionaldistrict.com and at the Finance and Administration Services in the Regional District office, 1450 KLO Road, Kelowna. next Regional Board Meetings Thursday, July 18th – following 8:30 am Governance & Services Committee meeting Monday, July 29th – 7:00 pm

However Revelstoke, Penticton, Kelowna, Kamloops, Edmonton and even Fort McMurray were all represented. Many of the parents took part in the Kal Rats Sprint Triathlon the following day making it a great triathlon weekend for the family.

Staples stuffing backpacks for kids roger knox Morning Star Staff
It’s a lofty goal, but one Staples believes it can reach with the help of the community. The Vernon office equipment and supplies store is hoping to raise $20,000 over the summer to help North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society with its annual Backpack Project. “The kickoff is July 1 and it will run until Sept. 7,” said Jamie Wattie of Staples, who has organized this same fundraising project at Staples for the past few years. “We’ll have baked goods, barbecues, cook books for sale, a big garage sale and a silent auction. Our goal is $20,000.” One of the main fundraisers held by Staples in support of the project is an iPad raffle. A total of 12,000 tickets will be printed and customers can buy tickets at the store up until Sept. 7. The winner will be announced that same night at 9 p.m. Customer donations will also be taken at Staples’ tills. The Backpack Projects

Learn to sail at open house Morning Star Staff
Taste the excitement of sailing Tuesday. The North Okanagan Sailing Association (NOSA) will hold an open house Tuesday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the club next to Paddlewheel Park on Okanagan Landing Road. The public is welcome to learn more about sailing small sailboats and catamarans. There will be a brief presentation by BC Sailing, the body that regulates competitive sailing and Learn-to-Sail programs in British Columbia. Demonstrations on rigging a Laser, a 420 and a catamaran will be given, and if the wind does not let us down, there will be a chance to be taken out onto the lake for a sail. Those interested in a sail on a catamaran (“cat”

for short) should bring a towel and swim gear as sailing a cat in half decent wind will not keep you dry. During the barbecue, guests can learn how to become a sailor through NOSA’s Learn-to-Sail program. Sailing is for people of all ages. From ages eight and up you can start taking sailing lessons (you don’t have to be a NOSA member to take lessons). NOSA is a community-based, not for profit organization dedicated to water safety and the promotion of small boat sailing. Its programs are affordable and fun for both youth and adults.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The fresh insights you’re looking for can be realized through brainstorming or a conversation with a friend in the know. Seek out anyone who fits this description. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You shouldn’t have any trouble gratifying your ambitious objectives. Make the most of this wonderful cycle. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Generally speaking, you should be able to get along with most everybody you know. You’re likely to be most effective dealing with people on a one-onone basis. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You often work in fits and starts, but not so today. It’s almost a foregone conclusion that whatever you set your mind to doing will be completed to your satisfaction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You might find a need to share your thoughts and/ or feelings with friends. Chatting with pals won’t be a waste of time because something good will come of it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There are some hopeful indications that you’re moving toward firmer ground in your affairs. Any pressure you’ve been feeling could be eased considerably. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Some happy news could put you in a pleasant mood and get you started on a productive course of
action. Because of this, more good things will develop. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) The charitable way you deal with people will yield you large returns down the line. The seeds of kindness you’re planting are being sown on fertile soil. ARIES (March 21-April 19) When it comes to doing something with others, the group will be looking to you to establish the program. Fortunately, it’s what you do best, and you will have something in mind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone you’ve always been able to rely on will have something in mind -without you even having to ask -- that will please you very much. You’re lucky to have such a friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Most group involvements will work out well. Engage with others in a shared interest, and you’ll be on top of the world.
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.

Other Awards Rotary Youth Exchange Rotary’s programs for students and youth can change the lives of those who participate. Through these programs, young people can earn scholarships, travel on cultural exchanges, or help a community through a service project. Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary’s leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30. RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth, and aims to: • Demonstrate Rotary’s respect and concern for youth • Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders • Encourage leadership of youth by youth • Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities Education Support by local Rotary Clubs The Vernon Club annually provides $20,000 for education and if the other two Vernon Clubs - Kalamalka and Silver Star - plus the Armstrong Club are added in, Rotary’s support for education is in the $50 - $60,000 range. The Rotary Foundation The 2010-11 class of Ambassadorial Scholars received US$9.6 million through individual grants of $25,000. Since 1947, a total of $532 million has been awarded to 41,000 men and women. The Ambassadorial Scholarships program promotes international understanding and friendly relations among people of different parts of the world. The scholarships sponsor undergraduate and graduate students, as well as qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies.

hat a joy it is to have the opportunity to go to our farmers’ market Monday or Thursday morning. Just strolling around examining the great varieties of fruits and vegetables, talking to the vendors and smiling “Good morning” at other people is a very satisfying start to any day. To taste the first strawberries, freshly picked and full of flavour and sweetness, is truly a blessing, as is the new asparagus just in from the farm. I personally go on a binge when the asparagus is ready, and eat this vegetable in great abundance for the next six weeks until the harvest is done. Likewise the strawberries. And while I will eat both items again throughout the year I know they will not taste of this extraordinary freshness and flavour until they
are harvested again next year. Freshness and quality come at a price and most vegetables and fruits are cheaper at a supermarket. But you cannot compare the taste and food quality and the effect of healthy eating of something picked the same day or a few days earlier to a product that may have been picked weeks earlier or left to ripen in some giant warehouse for long periods of time. I take a certain amount of money and a list to the market and pretty well know when a fruit or vegetable is “in” and spend my money on this item. Asparagus is gone and strawberries are still available but will be over soon, spinach is “in” as are beets, and apricots will hopefully be here soon followed by cherries and peaches and on and on it goes.

There are always salad fixings available, grown in a greenhouse if necessary or harvested from outdoor gardens when the time is ripe. This is truly a wonderful place we live in with our access to so many healthy and delicious foods and we should pay tribute to the people who grow them. Growers who are at the mercy of nature, who work long and hard hours to make sure their produce is fresh, many of whom will not use herbicides or pesticides to preserve the quality of their product. Most farmers are not
millionaires, as there is little profit margin in market gardening and lots of risk, just ask the apple orchardist who lost everything to hail last week. Yet they are a dedicated bunch who love their way of life and reflect this when you talk to them at the market. Like the fresh freerun egg seller, a charming woman who talks about her girls and how they are doing while handing over a dozen of her finest, She is of course referring to her chickens and reflecting her respect and caring for the producers of her merchandise. The farmers’ market is held from 8 a.m. until noon Monday and Thursday mornings and is located behind the Kal Tire Arena. There is also a Friday market after 4 p.m. held at the end of the Village Green Centre near SportChek. Preparing fresh
Continuing To Serve
fruits and vegetables is easy: just remember to wash them with cold running water — special products are not required — and wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling fresh produce. Wash leafy green vegetables under cold water (including bagged greens) and remove discoloured and wilted outer leaves and drain and pat dry with paper or tea towel. Store in clean paper bag or in a sealed plastic bag in the fridge and eat within seven days. Most fruits last a week in the fridge. Do not wash berries until you are ready to use them or they do not last as well. Just strolling around the market on an early summer morning is a special rite of summer in the Okanagan! If you have any comments or questions you can contact me at blackmail1@telus.net I can hardly wait to fetch my Morning Star!

Predator Ridge Resort has done away with synthetic mats it once used at its practice facility. In their place is the real deal – a lush cushion of manicured turf that will allow golfers to get a feel for the ground as they work out the kinks in their swings. The upgrade is part of a major overhaul of the resort’s practice facility to bring it in line with all the other first-rate amenities on offer. Predator unveiled the new-look range recently.. “We’re pretty lucky to have Predator put one up, especially for the (golf) academy,” said AJ Eathorne, a pro at Predator and former LPGA tour member. “It gets a little frustrating hitting balls off mats. You need the feedback of divots and grass and now we have that.” Eathorne added that, from a teaching perspective, a grass range allows her to get a better read on a student’s swing. “Sometimes the club bounces off the mat, and you get away with a little bit more on a mat than you do with grass. This is more realistic.” The practice facility’s teeing area is massive, with the idea that the tee spot will be moved on a daily basis to allow for the grass to recover. Eathorne said each area will get a 55-day rest period before it is used again. She credits Predator superintendent Mike Long for getting the range into peak condition in time for the summer high season. “He just did a phenomenal job, orchestrating people, getting people in and putting a lot of his own time in.” One thing Eathorne has already received a Mr. Brad Marsh, Managing Director of RE/MAX® Vernon, is pleased to announce that lot of feedback on is Doug Cuthbert has joined the RE/MAX® Vernon Team of Real Estate Professionals and will be the number of shortworking in association with Shane McMorran and Team McMorran. distance target pins on Doug spent his formative years growing up in Western the range.

Celebrate July 1 with tastes of the season Cathi Litzenberger

Morning Star Columnist
ou gotta love this time of year when the local fresh rhubarb, asparagus, and strawberries are all available at the same time, short as that time may be. I got notice this week that the Armstrong farmers are on their last pickings, so if you still haven’t got your supply, get to it! I spent a couple of days this week making freezer packages and casseroles for a rainy day in the future. The rhubarb will probably keep producing long enough to make your strawberry/rhubarb jams and chutneys. Not only do rhubarb and strawberries work well together in many recipes so do asparagus and strawberries. The first two recipes for this Sunday star asparagus. The first is a complete pasta dinner that can be made ahead of time and then chilled until supper time. The asparagus, strawberry, arugula combination in the second salad is simple, easy, but oh-so-tasty. Along with the salads I have two desserts for you to try. The first is a rhubarb-strawberry tart that starts with a pre-made pastry (if desired) and it’s a real treat. The second is a make-ahead dessert that combines a crunchy bottom layer with strawberries, pineapple, cream cheese and whipped topping; you’ll love it. AspArAgus pAstA sAlAd 1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1-1/2inch pieces 1 package (16 ounces) tricolor spiral pasta, cooked and drained 1 cup diced cooked chicken 1 cup diced fully cooked ham 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives 1-1/2 cups zesty Italian dressing 1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed Juice of 1 lemon Salt and pepper to taste Place asparagus in a large saucepan with enough water to cover; cook until crisptender. Drain and cool. In a large bowl, combine asparagus with the remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight. Yield: 12 servings. strAwberry & AspArAgus sAlAd 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1- 1/2 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (1-inch pieces) fresh asparagus 8 cups arugula
Cathi Litzenberger photo
Rhubarb and strawberry are two of the season’s fresh, local fruits that combine beautifully for a pie to be enjoyed on Canada Day. 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries In a small bowl whisk the lemon juice, oil, honey and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Put 2 cups of arugula on each serving plate, top with strawberries and asparagus and drizzle with the vinaigrette. rhubArb-strAwberry tArt 1 box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box 2 eggs 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 3 cups coarsely sliced fresh rhubarb 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into pieces Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place pie
crust in 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom as directed on box for one-crust filled pie. Trim edges if necessary. In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until light. Beat in granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons flour and the almond extract until well-blended. Alternately layer rhubarb and strawberries into crustlined pan. Pour egg mixture over fruit. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour and the nutmeg. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over top. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is set in centre. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Remove side of pan; cut tart into wedges. Store in refrigerator. Tips: One bag (1 pound) frozen unsweetened rhubarb can be used in place of the fresh rhubarb in this tart. Increase baking time to 55 to 65 minutes. mAke-AheAd dessert speciAl Crust: 1/2 cup butter or hard margarine 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs

Q: A:
“All Life Stage Diets”Are they nutritionally balanced for both puppies and seniors?
Just like us our dog’s nutritional requirements change as we age. Puppies have different feeding habits than older dogs. A puppy requires twice as much protein and 50% more calories per pound of body weight in order to meet its growth requirements. They also need appropriate levels of calcium and phosphorus, to aid in growing bones. Puppies must eat 3-4 times daily until the age of 3 months, three times daily until 6 months and then twice daily for the remainder of its life. As our dog ages, his or her lifestyle may change, and just like us their metabolism may change as well. We need to adjust the calorie intake accordingly. The average size dog requires 30 calories per pound of body weight. Obesity is the biggest issue with older dogs and understanding good feeding habits is important. Diets consisting solely of meat diets are not recommended for dogs due to the lack of vitamin and minerals found in meat alone. A dog’s diet should consist of balanced proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water. A healthy dog requires a variety of meat and plant food. Senior dogs should have less phosphorous and sodium to maintain kidney and heart health. Contact us if you have any questions, we have a nutritional consultant on staff.

On being 60
O
ne rainy afternoon, wanting distraction, I leafed through a typical women’s magazine. You know the kind. Fluff about fashion where the models are 15 years old (and 98 pounds) and a pair of shoes is an entire week’s salary. I was attracted to an article entitled, “Makeovers: 2013.” On the glossy photo spread there were five tired women set to be remade into modern beauties. dr. April sanders Paired “before and after” photos represented a woman of each decade; the ingénue at 20, the office worker at 30, the supervisor at 40, and the professional at 50. Having just turned 60, I looked for the rest of the article but that was all that there was. I was just too old for this magazine to be interested in me, and, by extension, whole generations of women were thus rendered redundant, invisible. The 50s, the 60s and beyond are the age in life when, in my experience, women come into their own. It is a time
second opinion
when they are free of the constraints of raising a family. It is the time when they have mastered their job. Often, they have settled with a partner that they can live with and at some future time, die with. Often, for the first time they look in the mirror and ask themselves, what do I want to do with the rest of my life?” or, “what do I need that is just for me?” It is a sad reality that just when women feel they have arrived, society feels their time is up. We still live in a world where a woman’s power is influenced by her appearance. I recall a supermarket tabloid with the lurid headline, “Hilary Clinton without makeup.” The most powerful woman in the world was being panned for her missing mascara while negotiating a deal for peace in the war-torn world. Whether it is Michelle Obama’s biceps or the late Margaret Thatcher’s purses, women are reduced or lauded based on their appearance in spite of their economic independence, self-determination, brains, education, bravery, leadership and accomplishments. Prejudice against women goes back to the foundations of western democracy.
The end of the Middle Ages divided democracy into two spheres. The public sphere was defined by the rules of liberal democracy, universality, equality and reason. This was the exclusive territory of men. The private sphere was governed by inequality, subjection and emotion. This was the realm of women. For centuries women’s place was in the home where they were governed by the rule of “the man in his castle.” Women are no longer the property of their husband and since 1918 we have even been granted the vote, but we are still judged subjectively, and part of that is how we look and by extension, how old we are. Is it any wonder that women seek cosmetic enhancement? As women age, the power attached to their youthful appearance dwindles and they are judged harshly for it. I see many women my age and older who are wondering what they can do to regain their youthful appearance. They do not want to be someone else; they want their power back in a society that does not consider them worthy of a magazine make over. They want to move from the world of ghosts into the world of the relevant.
A summer full of babysitter training courses Morning Star Staff
The Kelowna & District Safety Council held its first Babysitter
Training Courses in Vernon this past spring break, and they were so popular that the KDSC has now scheduled more courses in Vernon for July and August. “This is the most comprehensive Babysitter Training Course that parents will find,” says Tania Meyer, executive director of KDSC. “It’s a two-day course, with 10 hours of training and includes topics such as the rights and responsibilities of
the employer, the child, and the babysitter, and the developmental and behavioral characteristics of children of different ages.” Basic child care, nutrition, injury prevention, emergencies, age-appropriate play, and basic first aid procedures will also be covered, and a special component of the course will prepare babysitters for handling the special needs of children who are visually impaired,
hearing impaired, physically disabled, speech impaired, and mentally challenged. Summer course dates are July 4 and 5, 10 and 11, 22 and 23, and Aug. 12 and 13. Each day runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and courses will be located at the People Place in Vernon. Open to boys and girls ages 10 and up, this is a Canada Safety Council course and all children will receive a graduation certificate and a

wallet card, as well as a KDSC tote bag. “Although the Canada Safety council recommends that children don’t start babysitting until they are 12 years old, the reality is that many 10- to 12-year-olds help care for their younger siblings, and this course will give them the skills and information necessary to be much safer and aware babysitters and helpers,” says Meyer. “Many parents also register their children in this course as an alternative to Home Alone classes, as the curriculum covered in this babysitting course is much more in-depth than Home Alone curriculum.” The course is $65 (no taxes), but parents can save $5 by registering online through the Babysitter Training Course page of KDSC’s website at www.kdsc. bc.ca. All courses are expected to sell out, so register early. Contact the Kelowna and District Safety Council toll-free at 1-888-5807233 to register or for more information. KDSC is a nonprofit organization and has been operating the Little Travellers’ Safety Village as well as a motorcycle and driver training facility since 1980.

Piovesan ready to jam at music camp Morning Star Staff
A Vernon musician is offering jam camp for adults this summer. Henry Piovesan is giving stage-shy adults a chance to reconnect with their musical talents with a music jam camp at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus. Two sessions of the camp will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 8 to 12 and July 15 to 19. “I’ve talked to so many people who tell me they’ve got a guitar, or an old saxophone, or maybe even a banjo their spouse gave them, and sometimes they bring it out and play it in their backyard, but they don’t have anyone to share that with,” said Piovesan. “There’s too many of these guys and gals out there.” Provided through the college’s continuing studies program, the camp is expressly designed to bring together adults in their 30s and 40s and let the music happen. “I’ve had adults come to the jam classes, meet one another and team up with others to jam outside of class,” said Piovesan. A pianist/keyboardist and owner of Vernon’s Piano Jam studios, Piovesan is a well-known sessionist who has played with the likes of Patrick Simmons from the Doobie Brothers and studied music under Quincy Jones and Chuck Mangione. He started playing piano in high school, and later received his bachelor of music degree at Berklee College of Music in Boston. From there he went on to form the band Formation, and then later Whitewater, sharing festival stages with Canadian luminaries such as Burton Cummings and The Tragically Hip. Piovesan said finding musical mates gets harder as people get older. “When they’re teenagers in high school, they find each other through band class. Then in their 20s, they’re playing in the clubs. There is a group of older players who

Armstrong’s history comes alive
hankfully, as a society, we’ve come a long, long way since that fateful night in Armstrong, circa 1919, at a school board meeting. There was Mayor (and school board president) James (Big Jim) Wright presiding over the meeting with four school board members – two men and two women. One of the ladies had the courage to challenge a long-standing rule about women not being able to ride in a motor vehicle unless it Roger Knox was with her father or brother. What would the new teacher coming to Armstrong do? As Mayor Wright pointed out, the teacher hadn’t even been hired yet. However, one of the dastardly male members stood up and broke out into a song called Whoever Said a Woman Was A Person? It was one snippet of Armstrong’s 100-
theatre review
year history, brought to the stage wonderfully by Asparagus Community Theatre, and the scene that garnered the biggest laugh in playwright Peter Blacklock’s whimsical musical, All About The People. George Young was perfectly cast as the curmudgeonly school board member who didn’t believe women were persons, and his song was magnificently rebutted by female school board member Laurisa Defehr. Young, Defehr and 12 others played multiple roles in the two-hour play (most notably the competent Bryce Hunt, who portrayed five characters, all different). Andrew Laird, who did a great job as Wright, and Lindsay Grout as the conductor/narrator, were the only members of the 16-person cast to play one character. Grout is one of the keys to the play, as he portrays a conductor at the Armstrong train station built right in the centre of town, and guides “sight-seers,” ie, the audience, on a historical tour of how Armstrong came to be. “The railway was important to the foundation of the city,” said Grout. You learn a lot about Armstrong in two
hours. You learn the town started in an area called Lansdowne, and moved to its current sight when the railway was built through the middle of a bog. We find out there’s a rural neighbouring municipality called Spallumcheen and that there could be problems between it and a new city. Directors of the Armstrong fair bucked a trend to join Vernon as one large Okanagan entry for the Dominion Fair of 1905 in New Westminster, and decided its own Interior Provincial Exhibition must become bigger than just a one-day event. And, of course, there’s the people. We are introduced to those who helped carve out Armstrong such as Wright (and we learn 1,000 people attended his funeral); Donald Matheson (Hunt), the first IPE president; Mrs. Wolfenden (Sharon Wickstrom), wife of Armstrong Advertiser publisher Frank Wolfenden; blacksmith Henry Hope (Young), actors Lee Morris (Mandy Penner) and Bertha Morris (Wickstrom), who left town after their beloved theatre was lost in a fire; and, in the most poignant moment of the show, Louie
Non Chip Jung and her daughter (beautifully played by Asia and Alayna Jong), wife and daughter of a Chinese farmer, who told the audience they were not counted as people. Blacklock wrote five original songs for the performance with musical accompaniment supplied by the Pleasant Valley Boys – Allen Bensmiller on guitar, George Bensmiller on accordion and fiddle and Cameron Shook on upright bass. All were snappy numbers which had the audience clapping their hands. Speaking of original, the audience gets to see Armstrong grow as pieces of the town are added scene by scene, so kudos to set designer Maryke Simmonds. Aptly directed by Paul KirkwoodHackett, All About The People scores a hit, a terrific salute to a terrific community celebrating its centennial. All About The People runs July 3 to 6 at 8 p.m. at Asparagus Community Theatre (Centennial Hall). Reservations can be made at The Guy Next Door, 3450A Okanagan St., 250-5460950.

Quinoa (pronounced Keenwa) is the only plant food that contains all 10 essential amino acids. Quinoa is actually a seed of a grainlike crop related to beets. It is cooked like rice and is a nutritionally-sound food source to add to your diet. The Mediterranean diet seems to be the best for a long healthy life. Imagine a pyramid with the widest bottom part listing fruits, vegetables, grains, olive oil, beans, nuts, legumes and seeds (like quinoa). The next level up contains fish and seafood. Above that is poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt. And at the very top and smallest part of the pyramid: meats and sweets. Our kidneys’ job is to filter our blood. They filter about 40 gallons (182 litres) of fluid every day. They hold back substances your body needs and lets the rest go out in the urine. High blood pressure or diabetes can damage the kidneys and if not controlled, can result in kidney failure. During the hot days of summer, it’s important to keep hydrated. About 90% of our body’s cooling comes from the evaporation of sweat from our skin. During heavy exertion in hot weather, we can lose 2 or more litres of water in an hour. Keep your water consumption up to prevent dehydration. There are many summer ailments that can make our lives miserable. It may be sunburn, allergies, poison ivy, insect bites or simple diarrhea from eating too much fruit. Our pharmacists are always available for advice on best treatment.

world war Z
erry Lane (Brad Pitt) is enjoying his early retirement, spending time with his wife and two young daughters. On a typical morning, driving his kids to school, stuck in a Philadelphia traffic jam, all hell breaks loose and his family finds itself enveloped into a crowd of people, fleeing for their lives from some unknown threat. Luckily for Lane’s family, his former job with the United Nations was in crisis management and if anyone is capable of surviving this catastrophe, it’s him. Taylor and Howe It doesn’t take long before the threat becomes clear, a fast-acting illness of some sort is turning healthy folks into crazed, hungry zombies. Unfortunately for Lane’s family, the UN wants him back on the case to help solve the mystery of what is happening and what they might be able to do to stop it before the human race is wiped out. We say, “For what was supposed to be the epic zombie film, Z is pretty tame.” HOWE: World War Zzzzzzzzzzz more like. At a little under two hours, it’s a long, slow and torturous movie that does nothing. It’s meant to be a zombie movie, but it doesn’t feel like one. With a true zombie flick, the dead eat the living but in this, they only bite the living and move on to the next victim. There’s lots of action but no gore. Pretty disappointing I would say. TAYLOR: It’s not too long, or torturous. Yet, overall, I’m disappointed with WWZ because the things I’ve come to expect from zombie films aren’t present, namely: scares and gore. World War Z is rated PG-13 and while
Reel Reviews
Plan B EntErtainmEnt
Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) wants to show you a magic trick with his scarf in World War Z. it’s possible to show violence or blood at such a rating, the filmmakers chose not to show us anything. Zombies are, for the most part, dispatched off screen, perhaps with a crunching sound to let you know the crowbar found its mark. It’s certainly possible for a PG-13 movie to be scary (The Ring, Poltergeist, Jaws,) yet WWZ takes very little time to increase tension. The moments where a scare could have presented itself are not exploited, the characters of Lane and his family are not built up into something the audience can care about. Ultimately, it’s zombie light. However, it’s not really a bad film, aside from the occasional moment of pure ridiculousness. HOWE: Do you mean the magic tricks? The looting of the supermarket, seeing them leave with a trolley full of food, then presto they’re running down
the street with no trolley. Or is it the disappearing/reappearing scarf around Lane’s neck. Editors Roger Barton and Matt Chesse should get a job in Vegas, they’d run Penn and Teller out of town. TAYLOR: No, but I do agree that the film is a little chopped up. However, I was referring to things like a four-prop aircraft taking off from an aircraft carrier only twice its size. You know, logistical problems. There was one serious plot point in the movie that made several people laugh. But the things I enjoyed the most were the novel ways different folks had to fight off the zombies. It doesn’t bore, but it also doesn’t wow. It’s a movie about plague, zombies are secondary. Taylor gives it 3 large doses of a deadly virus strain out of 5. Howe gives it 2.5 ear coverings out of 5.

Flutist ready for summer Morning Star Staff
Flutist and piccoloist Misty Rose Knol is kicking off summer with a stop in Vernon Friday. Knol’s Summer Sounds concert will be at All Saints Anglican Church at 7 p.m. “This concert will feature both flute and piccolo, and there will be a variety of music on both instruments, from romantic compositions to newer works, including one recently composed by Vernon composer Glen Goerzen,” said Knol, a Kaleden resident. “The selected pieces will show off the many characters and diversity of both instruments from playful and energetic to lyrical, sweet and rich expression.” Knol, who will be joined by accompanist Dennis Nordlund, is raising funds to attend two study programs in Europe in August. She was featured as a soloist on piccolo with the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan this past November, and has won multiple awards and prizes for excellence in performance on both flute and piccolo. She graduated with honours from the bachelor of music program in flute performance at Kings University College in Edmonton, where she received awards for excellence in performance. While at Kings, Knol studied with the principal flutist for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Liz Koch, for five years. During her time in Edmonton she also played as the principal flutist for the Edmonton Youth Orchestra for three years. After graduating in 2008, Knol moved to the Interior, where she has played in the Kamloops

Society features ‘Love’ Vernon Film Society
The first of three summer movies presented by the Vernon Film Society will air on July 8 at the Towne Theatre. It will be shown at the usual series times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Love is All You Need is directed by award winning Danish director Susanne Bier (Brothers, In a Better
World) who also cowrote this movie. The story concerns Philip (Pierce Brosnan) as a somewhat embittered Brit living in Denmark and Ida, a hairdresser who has just come through battling cancer, only to find her husband has betrayed her. Their children are about to be married, although the path to their wedded bliss is not running
Youth 8 - 18 Play the

smoothly. The wedding is to take place in Sorrento, so the movie is set in beautiful locations in both Denmark and Italy to enrich all our senses and to provide a backdrop to the unfolding story of a family wedding, with unpredictable guests as well as the budding romance of Philip and Ida. As more than one critic noted, this is a romance for grown-ups, a pleasant change from the many movies made for kids. Brosnan has been widely acclaimed for his portrayal of a man finding new joy in moving on and forward with his life. It’s a film with humour, some poignant and absurd moments, beautiful scenery and good acting. Although predictable, the film is so well made and enjoyable it seems perfect for a summer movie experience. The film is rated PG. Tickets are available seven days ahead at the Towne Theatre and at the Bean Scene Coffee House for $7.

No room for raises tom fletcher Black Press
Government revenues have fallen $900 million short of February’s budget projections, and teachers and other government workers can expect no new money for wages, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Thursday. Bright spots for the B.C. economy include an expected recovery in natural gas prices from historic lows, and $500 million in savings on government operations, de Jong said in a post-election budget update. B.C. is continuing an effective freeze on public sector wage growth that began in 2010. Since the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012, nearly three quarters of union members have signed contracts with average pay increases of one to two per cent, financed through savings in other areas of operations. Most are two-year deals, with some halfway through. The projected surplus for this year is trimmed from $197 million in February to $153 million, and de Jong had to trim contingency funds to reach that. Tax hikes are unchanged from February, including a two-year increase
for personal income over $150,000 and a tobacco tax increase set for October. The budget calls for $30 million in spending cuts this year, after last year’s reduction of $20 million in all ministries except health. The government’s “core review” of government operations is getting underway with a target of another $50 million in savings by the end of 2014, but no program targets are identified in the budget update. The price for natural gas, the key commodity for the government’s debt reduction plan, is forecast to rise from $2.25 per gigajoule this year to $2.51 and $2.89 in the next two years. Exports of liquefied natural gas to Asia, where prices are currently far higher, can’t begin until well after 2015. Lumber prices are forecast to decline, from a peak of US $348 per 1,000 board feet this year to $308 in 2014 and $300 in 2015. De Jong said the government’s asset sales plan is about $8 million ahead of projections, with about half of the properties, bonds and other financial holdings sold or in negotiations to sell. The goal is to raise $475 million for next year’s budget.
NDP blasts numbers tom fletcher Black Press
NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth blasted the B.C. government’s budget update Thursday, pointing to deteriorating financial conditions that make it even less likely the promised surplus will materialize by next spring. “Economic growth is down. It was forecast at 1.6 per cent. Now it’s down to 1.4 per cent,” Farnworth told the legislature. “Retail sales are down … Housing starts are down 13 per cent. People are leaving B.C. for Alberta and other stronger economies. That’s nine straight quarters where more people have left than arrived.”
Speaking to reporters after the budget speech, Farnworth focused on Wednesday’s throne speech commitment to launch a 10-year skills training initiative. “The Business Council of B.C., back in 2002, identified skills training as one of the critical issues facing British Columbia, and here we are, 10 years later, talking about it in the throne speech,” Farnworth said. “But when you go to the budget, what do you see? A $45 million cut, the same cut that was there before February, and 5,300 fewer spaces for the kids of British Columbia to be able to get into over the next four years.”

TOTA aims to extend season 10-year plan looks to expand tourism throughout region Kevin Parnell Black Press
As Gordon Fitzpatrick sits in his office at Cedar Creek Estate Winery in Kelowna, he watches out over an amazing view of Okanagan Lake and marvels at the spectacular area of the world he is operating his winery. Cyclists cruise by on their bikes as the sun pierces down and begins its rise toward the 30-degree mark, bringing more activity onto Okanagan Lake, filling up area golf courses and heating up the region known primarily for its great weather. “As I look out my window I just think what a wonderful playground we live in,” says Fitzpatrick, the 52-year-old president of Cedar Creek. “First of all the climate is unbelievable and with the lake and the mountains and the wine and the culinary scene, it’s all very exciting. We are turning heads internationally. “But we have other world-class tourism products in the region. The skiing, the golf, there are safaris where you can watch grizzly bears. There is the adventure tourism and eco-tourism and the (cycling) gran fondos. It’s an extremely desirable place that most people don’t know about and that’s one of our challenges: We need to make people more aware of what’s here.” And that challenge is being taken on by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA), the regional tourism group that represents the region’s 3,200 tourism operators. For the past two years TOTA has been working with all of its stakeholders, developing a new 10-year plan to help the tourism industry grow from what is now seasonal to one that can sustain itself outside of the four-month peak period. According to TOTA, every stakeholder that works in tourism, and every jurisdiction in the region, has signed off on the plan that asks for cooperation rather than competition amongst the tourism operators in the Thompson Okanagan. “We need tourism operators to

The Thompson Okanagan Tourism association has developed a 10-year plan that will expand tourism opportunities beyond the traditional four-month peak summer period. Part of the focus will be on creating iconic experiences, such as mountain biking at Silver Star Mountain resort. see that the competition is not in the room or across the street, but in fact the competition is in Arizona, or New Zealand or Australia,” said Glenn Mandziuk, TOTA president. “There has to be a principle that in order to achieve success we need to work together. We need to package together and promote together because the goal is to get on the radar screen of visitors and get them to come to the area.” At the TOTA office, Mandziuk points out a map of the region, one of six tourism regions in the province. It’s massive, roughly the size of Ireland, and its features span both ends of the spectrum – from the mountain peak of Mt. Robson to the desert climes of Osoyoos. TOTA represents 90 communities and hamlets, 28 First Nations groups and more than 3,000 tourism operators. There are nine ski hills, almost 90 golf courses and 125 wineries. There are 15,000 fulltime equivalent jobs in tourism in the region, which generates $1.75 billion in direct revenue each year, making it the largest economic sector in the Thompson Okanagan. “We have a very diverse product,”
said Mandziuk. “From a geographic point of view, it’s really amazing that you can have the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies all the way to a true dessert in Osoyoos. All of these areas are in different phases of their maturity. There are some areas that are generating full-on and some that are just emerging as tourism destinations. We had to create a plan that resonated in every jurisdiction in the region.” Developing a new 10-year vision, TOTA had to take a hard look at past tourism practices and at how people outside of the region view the area. Focus sessions were held in Vancouver, Calgary and Seattle, seeking people’s perception of the area. “The first word to come out of their mouths is that it’s hot,” said Mandziuk. “They don’t think of us as anything more than a place to go to the beach. “We need to change their image. We need to deepen the story as to what we stand for as a region because we know we stand for a helluva lot more than ‘it’s hot.’” Another area TOTA looked at was revenue, and Mandziuk said despite
the fact that revenue was on the rise, 80 per cent of the money made in tourism is being made in just a four-month period, leaving tourism operators not much chance to keep employees on during the soft shoulder seasons. “The industry has been plagued by the fact it is extraordinarily seasonal,” said Mandziuk. “It’s not sustainable in the sense that you can’t keep your labour year round, you can’t get funding from the bank for an expansion because they don’t know if you can pay your mortgage. We need to change the way we are doing business and we can do that by creating experiences.” Mandziuk said that by creating experiences that tourists want, and by marketing those experiences to a specific consumer, the region will become known for more than just heat in the next 10 years. Back at the Cedar Creek, Fitzpatrick is excited about several new ideas that will be unveiled this year by the winery designed to give visitors an authentic look at the wine-making industry. A new vineyard trail called the Senator’s trail is named after Gordon’s father Ross, a retired Canadian senator who, at 80, still walks the property every morning. The trail will take guests amongst the vines, where guides will explain the story of Cedar Creek. “That will be another level of experience and it will be authentic,” said Fitzpatrick. “It makes a big difference when you can kick the dirt and see where the grapes come from and provide interesting stories. We want to intrigue people with what we do. We have a lot of great stories to tell.” The telling or stories is one of the pillars of the new 10-year plan. “We can’t keep promoting summer, sun and fun,” said Mandziuk. “While that’s important and we can’t lose that, we need to add a new dimension to our marketing and our product developments. “The exciting thing is people are embracing it and that’s because the timing was right. The biggest thing is if we work as a collective around this for the next 10 years, our image will change.”

Choice charity for kids Morning Star Staff
President’s Choice Children’s Charity granted more than $1.1 million in B.C. in 2012 to help children live to their full potential. Grants went toward supporting B.C. families whose children have physical or developmental disabilities, as well as nutrition programs aimed at fighting childhood hunger. The charity’s administration cost are funded by Loblaws, ensuring all money raised goes to the cause. A total of 81 grants were provided for children with disabilities, typically supporting the purchase of assistive devices, vehicle adaptations, developmental and physical therapy, camp tuition, home improvements and respite care.

Reduce investing stress
e all know that stress can have many adverse affects on our lives, and can affect the quality of our health. Cutting out stressors, including in your investment activities can have a positive affect. But how can you cut down on the various stresses associated with investing? Here are a few possible stressbusters: Know your risk tolerance – If you’re constantly worrying about the value of your investments, your Ross Jewell portfolio may simply be too volatile for your individual risk tolerance. Conversely, if you’re always feeling that your investments will never provide you with the growth you need to achieve your long-term goals, you might be investing too conservatively. Know what to expect from your investments – Uncertainty is often a leading cause of stress. So when you purchase investments that are mysterious to you, you shouldn’t be surprised if they perform in ways that raise your stress levels. Never invest in something unless you fully understand its characteristics and risk potential. Be prepared for market volatility – Historically, the financial markets have trended upward, though their past performance can’t guarantee future results.

B.C. - From the waveswept drama of the Wickaninnish Inn on Vancouver Island’s rugged Pacific coast to the slopeside luxury of Araxi or Bearfoot Bistro in Whistler, B.C. offers a banquet of unforgettable dining experiences. There are the province’s well-known restaurants, of course — diners will long remember their first taste of Tojo’s famous sushi or the fragrant Indian fare at Vij’s or just about any meal served at the elegant Hawksworth
Restaurant, even the bar snacks. But not every memorable meal is served on a white tablecloth. It might, in fact, be enjoyed in a vineyard or a pretty park. It could be served by cowboys in Wranglers or Haida teens in feathers. And it might be as epic as a 10-course Chinese banquet or as simple as a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. B.C. serves up some of the world’s most memorable meals in even more unforgettable settings. So bring your appetite and join

us as we travel around the province to taste the best it has to offer. For many people, a visit to B.C. begins and ends in Richmond, at the Vancouver International Airport. Luckily for those who arrive hungry, Richmond also happens to be home to some of the best Chinese food in the world. Until recently, Victoria was best known for its dainty afternoon teas. Now, though, the city is going whole hog for heartier, meatier fare. Yes, it’s all about the pig here, whether it’s barbecued low and slow, cured into sausage or transformed into delicate terrines and patés. From there, a quick trip over the breathtaking Malahat Drive will take you to the Cowichan Valley. It is here that visitors will find the charmingly unpretentious Stone Soup Inn, where chef Brock Windsor is transforming locally grown, raised, foraged and fished ingredients into gourmet magic. Up the coastline from Vancouver Island lies the archipelago of Haida Gwaii, famous for its First Nations heritage and for some of the best fishing in the world. You can enjoy
both when you dine at Keenawii’s Kitchen in the town of Skidegate. Here the gracious Roberta Olson opens her beachside home to share the food and traditions of her Haida ancestors. Across storm-tossed Hecate Strait, in the town of Prince Rupert, another woman has created a unique dining experience of her own. Adrienne Johnston is a largely self-trained chef with a passion for local ingredients and exotic flavours, and she puts both to delicious use at the Cow Bay Café. It’s a romantic little spot in a funky neighbourhood overlooking the scenic harbour. After all that, we suspect your belt may be feeling just a bit snug. That makes it the perfect time to visit the Hills Health and Guest Ranch near 100 Mile House in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. The chefs here serve lowcalorie, big flavour spa cuisine such as crabstuffed chicken breast, pistachio-crusted tuna steak or Asian rice noodle salad with salmon. Still wearing your cowboy kickers? Then head to Trail’s Colander Restaurant. The décor is simple and so is the menu, but the value
can’t be beat — $12.41 will get you a hearty portion of the kind of spaghetti and meatballs nonna used to make, along with salad and a roll. Meanwhile, just down the highway in the pretty, historic city of Nelson, romance is on the table at the All Seasons Café. The food, as one would expect, is seasonally inspired, but the warmth, hospitality and good times last all year round. Finally, once you’ve had a taste of the best that B.C. has to offer, why not take some of it home with you? At The Dirty Apron Cooking School in downtown Vancouver, you’ll first learn to cook with B.C.’s best ingredients, then sit down for a convivial, wine-soaked meal with newfound friends. Don’t forget to stock up on picnic goodies at the in-house deli. A selection of cheese, charcuterie, housemade preserves and pre-packaged to-go meals will tide you over until you return.

CONGRATULATIONS
Bridge by Phillip Alder FINDING THE FIT WHEN OPENER IS 4-4 This week we are looking at various aspects of the Stayman convention, which tries to find a 4-4 majorsuit fit after opener shows a balanced hand. When the opening bid is one no-trump and responder bids two clubs, it asks opener to show a four-card major. If he 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, he continues with two spades if one no-trump - two no-trump would not be natural (perhaps a transfer to diamonds). But if one
no-trump - two no-trump would be inviting three notrump, the responder rebids two no-trump. When the responder has game-forcing values, he jumps to three no-trump. If, as in this deal, the opener is 4-4 in the majors, he moves the contract from three notrump to four spades. West leads the club queen. East takes dummy’s king with his ace and returns the club eight (the higher of two remaining cards). When that holds the trick, East shifts to the heart king. How should South continue after winning this trick with his ace? South must avoid a spade loser. This will be easy if the suit splits 3-2, but what if an opponent
DL# 7385
has four to the jack? This can be handled only if it is East with the length. South should cash his spade king, then play a spade to dummy’s ace. When the bad break comes to light, South finesses his spade 10, draws the last trump, and runs the diamonds for his contract.
STUDENT OF THE MONTH TALIA “I'm pretty happy with Student 1st. At first I will admit that as a mother I was apprehensive about my daughter going door to door selling chocolates but the fact that the youth are paired up and the team leader is close by them at all times has given me assurance and I respect that. My daughter has grown as a person tremendously since selling with Student 1st. She's not as shy, her grades have gone up, she's learned how to handle money, she's motivated to make as many sales as she can to win the monthly prizes. As a parent, these developed skills makes me feel great. What's even greater is she's not sitting on the couch watching T.V. or playing video games day after day, There's not many Summer jobs available for youth 12-15 years old. I highly recommend Student 1st Chocolates as a part-time job for your preteen/teen, they make their own spending money, and they learn sales skills.” Jessica (Talias moms) Please support our kids 1-855-(KID WORK) when you see them in the community.

It is with tearful regret that we announce the sudden passing of Courtenay Brianne Eggen at the age of 21 years, as the result of a motor vehicle accident in Salmon Arm, B.C. on June 20th, 2013. Courtenay is survived by her loving parents Helen and Ian; her big brother Cal; her maternal grandparents Case and Doris Emke of Victoria, B.C.; grandparents Dwayne and Lil Scott of Wabasca, Wabesca, Alberta; and many cousins in and around Cherryville and Central Alberta as well as numerous life-long friends from Cherryville and Lumby. She is also survived by her dog, Karma; a black kitten, Snowball; and a tabby cat, See-ay-tee (C.A.T.) Courtenay was born on January 17th, 1992 in Strathmore, Alberta and she spent all her life in the Cherryville area, attending Cherryville Elementary School and graduating from Charles Bloom in 2010. She loved playing basketball in school and worked at Frank’s Store in Cherryville during high school. After graduation she worked for Lordco as a delivery driver until taking a job with Total Restoration where she achieved qualifications as a Flood Technician. At the time of her passing Courtenay was a student at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm, enrolled in the Electrical Preapprenticeship Program, achieving excellent grades as well as acting as a peer tutor to other students which was so typical of her generous nature to help and support others. Courtenay touched the lives of so many people in her short time on Earth and we would ask everyone to join us in a Celebration of her life at the Cherryville Hall on Saturday, July 6th, 2013 from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. to reminisce and share memories of our wonderful daughter and sister.
