Homecoming reunites old friends ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

arl Rahn literally married the girl next door. Carl, who came to Armstrong in 1934 from Coronation, Alta., moved in beside Margareta, who arrived from Enderby in 1930. “We were neighbours and his sister was my best friend,” smiled Margareta, as she and Carl strolled around Hassen Arena in Armstrong Friday morning, reminiscing and meeting up with old friends as Homecoming 100 continued. The pair married in Vernon in 1946 but lived in Armstrong. Five kids, three houses, school and mail route driving (Carl), and nursing jobs (Margareta) later, and the Rahns continue to call Armstrong home. The couple were looking forward to chatting with old friends who returned home for the special weekend, part of Armstrong’s 100th birthday celebrations. “We had breakfast with some friends, it was very nice,” said Carl, who will be honoured by the city in the near future with a street named after him in the new Harding Road subdivision being developed. For a guy who spent his career driving, Rahn said the biggest change he’s noticed in Armstrong is the disappearance of the trains. “There used to be daily trains going through town, both CP Rail and CN Rail which had a passenger train,” recalled Rahn. “Now, there are hardly any trains.” Joining the Rahns for Homecoming is their oldest child, Carol (aka Caroline) Guilbault, who did, indeed, come home eight years ago after being away 42 years. “I was on Salt Spring Island and in Cranbrook where I worked as a cashier/supervisor with Zellers,” said Guilbault, whose four younger siblings Walt (Nakusp), Edward (100 Mile House), Anna (Quesnel) and Bill (Fort McMurray, Alta.)

are unable to attend the weekend’s festivities. “I transferred home eight years ago.” A proud member of Armstrong High School’s Class of 1966, Guilbault is looking forward to catching up with her classmates, who have a mini-reunion planned during Homecoming. “I’ve already seen friends I haven’t seen in years,” she said. “These meet-and-greets are great.” Rollie and Marge Bremner have made the trip back to Armstrong from their home in Sherwood Park, Alta. for Homecoming. The Bremners lived in Armstrong from 1982-1999. “We wanted to see some old friends and we’ve already seen a few people we know,” said Rollie, who was a realtor with Downtown Realty while Marge worked for veterinarian Denton Moffat. Bremner had owned a cattle ranch in Fort St. John before deciding to move to the Okanagan. He and Marge have five kids, the youngest graduating from Pleasant Valley Secondary. “We had a great time in Armstrong, a very friendly community with great people,” said Bremner. “In 1999, I was ready to retire and the grandchildren and great grandchildren were all in Edmonton so we wanted to be closer to them. “Now we see them every day.” Homecoming 100 wraps up today with a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Hassen Arena. There’s a cemetery open house tour with the Armstrong Heritage Society slated for 9:30 a.m. at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Cemetery. People can also check out the antique clothing and fabric show, plus an art show by Colleen Dyson, at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Alternate energy heats up in Enderby richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Enderby is taking strides to become one of the most energyefficient communities in B.C. On Friday, the city unveiled its bio-energy system which uses waste wood to heat the public works shop, parts of the sewage treatment plant and the kennel. Howie Cyr “We’re in a leadership position in terms of sustainability,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. The next step is to possibly expand the plant to include the arena, curling rink, A.L. Fortune Secondary School and industrial businesses near McGowan Street, where the bio-energy system is located. “Ideally, we would like to see the system throughout the downtown area,” said Cyr. “There is also a potential opportunity for the Splatsin First Nation to tap in.” The city’s plant uses technology

from Enderby-based Fink Machine, which has its own system providing heat to the community’s outdoor pool. Burkhard Fink, owner of Fink Machine, is trying to convince the Interior Health Authority to allow bio-energy to heat the Parkview Place seniors residence. “There is certainly potential here,” said Fink. The city’s bio-energy system is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 250 tonnes a year and its operating costs by more than $85,000 annually. The total cost of the project was $296,700, with the majority coming from the federal gas tax fund. “This is just a great investment,” said Colin Mayes, OkanaganShuswap MP. Other partners were the provincial government and the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Local mills will continue to be a source of wood waste for the bioenergy plant and the city is also considering planting trees as a renewable source. “There will also be a drop-off for richard rolke/morning star citizens when they do their prun- Burkhard Fink, with Fink Machine, points out the highlights of Enderby’s bio-energy system to Rhona Martin, with ing,” said Cyr. the Union of B.C.

Potential breach forces dam repairs

Lifeguard Stephanie Stanton provides support while Holly Robinson, four, attempts to float on her back during swimming lessons at Enderby’s outdoor pool Friday.

Efforts are underway to ensure the integrity of Greater Vernon dams and to prevent a disaster. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted Thursday to spend $270,000 on outlet pipe repairs to the Haddo Lake dam on the Aberdeen Zee Marcolin Plateau. “It is a safety issue so we need to do it this year,” said Zee Marcolin, water utility manager. “If the dam were to breach, it (flow) would go to the channel, hit the Headgates dam and go into Lumby.” In a report to GVAC directors, Marcolin says structural failure could be “catastophic.” It was identified in 2006 that grout in some joints in the concrete outlet pipe were failing and the outlet structure was showing signs of deterioration. An engineer recommended that repairs be completed and in the

interim, the condition of the structure was monitored. As part of final design work, a video of the outlet pipe was conducted and it identified leaking joints. The work will occur between Sept. 15 and Oct. 31 when irrigation demand has ended because the outlet structure needed to supply water must be bypassed. Beyond Haddo, staff have also been looking at the Grizzly and Aberdeen dams, which are rated as high consequence structures in the event of a failure. “These dams are from the 1960s,” said Marcolin. “There’s a joint we’re fixing on the Aberdeen dam and another issue is to look at the design for the Headgates. The spillway is undersized. It will be designed and work will be done next year.” Awareness over dam integrity arose after a private dam failed near Oliver in 2010 destroying five homes and farms. Director Bob Fleming is pleased to see staff focused on the dams. “They are on top of the issues and there is a program for maintenance. I am satisfied,” he said.

RDNO staff continue to review the federal policy and the implications for planning issues in the five electoral areas. “We have some already and we’re getting complaints about things like odour,” said Smailes. The federal government announced a new strategy for medicinal marijuana in June. “While the courts have said that there must be reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana for medical purposes, we believe that this must be done in a controlled fashion in order to protect public safety,” said Leona Aglukkaq, health minister.

“These changes will strengthen the safety of Canadian communities, while making sure patients can access what they need to treat serious illnesses.” Health Canada reports that the number of people authorized to grow medicinal marijuana in the country has gone from 500 to 30,000 since 2001. “This rapid increase has had unintended consequences for public health, safety and security as a result of allowing individuals to produce marijuana in their homes,” states a Health Canada release. “Under the new regulations, production will no longer take place in homes and municipal zoning laws will need to be respected, which will further enhance public safety.”

Mabel Lake Holiday Centre is proposing to construct a 260-slip marina.

Marina bid launched richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Plans continue to move ahead for a marina on Mabel Lake, east of Enderby. Mabel Lake Holiday Centre was before the Electoral Area Advisory Committee Thursday asking for an earlier approval of a marina to be extended. “We’re trying to build this for all of the Mabel Lake community,” said Terry Laursen, Mabel Lake Holiday Centre owner. “We have heard about the proliferation of buoys on the lake and this is something that can solve that.” The Regional District of North

Okanagan board gave approval in principle to the proposed expansion of boat moorage at Kingfisher in July 2012. The matter arose after the provincial government notified Mabel Lake Holiday Centre that its existing dock, which is at least 50 years old, doesn’t meet environmental regulations. Since last year, the plans have been scaled back from 370 slips to 260 slips. Laursen is seeking a number of variances from the provincial government, including having the marina built closer to the shore and a wider walkway. Laursen’s plan is to go to the community to

purchase slips and the marina could be operated by an entity separate from Mabel Lake Holiday Centre. However, that has generated some concerns among RDNO officials, particularly if ownership changes or the marina is abandoned. “I don’t want it to come back and land in the lap of the regional district,” said director Mike Macnabb. “The regional district should not be involved in the ownership or the maintenance.” However, Laursen is convinced there won’t be a problem with ownership as, he says, there is strong interest in the project. “We believe it will be sold out immediately,” he said. Another issue of concern is parking in an already congested area but Laursen insists anyone who purchases a slip will have to park on their own housing lot. “It’s become a golf cart community right in the resort area,” he said, adding that parking arrangements can also be made with the Splatsin First Nation which operates a parking lot there. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has not made a decision on extending its preliminary support for the marina.

Golf event helps flood relief roger knox Morning Star Staff

Told that pictures of the recent Calgary floods didn’t do the disaster justice, two North Okanagan golf course employees decided they had to do something to help their neighbours. Mabel Lake Golf and Country Club superintendent Peter Bysouth and pro shop manager Dave Holoiday will haul out their clubs Wednesday and play a 24-hour golf marathon to raise funds for the Calgary flood relief fund. The event starts at the course east of Enderby at 5 a.m. “Peter and I were standing in the pro shop talking with a lady who handles some of our clothing, who is from Calgary, and she told us about all of the stuff going on,” said Holoiday, a former golf pro in Alberta. “We figured we needed to do something to help so we just started tossing around ideas.” The longest Holoiday has ever golfed is seven hours and he believes the same is true of Bysouth.

“We figured we needed to do something.” — Dave Holoiday

Helping out the victims of the Calgary floods hits close to home for the golf course, as many of its customers come from southern Alberta. “We have a ton of Albertans that come to play our course,” said Holoiday. Pledges are being collected at the pro shop. Anybody wishing to write a cheque to the pair’s fundraising effort can make the cheque out to the Mabel Lake Golf and Country Club.

A trail corridor with views of Kalamalka Lake could soon be a draw for locals and tourists. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has agreed to spend $200,000 to $250,000 on a trail from the Vernon college campus south to Crystal Waters Road, on the boundary with Lake Country. “The views are spectacular,” said director Mike Macnabb. The trail would largely follow the base of the old highway although construction may be required in a few locations. “Out of the 14 kilometres, there’s less than 2.7 kilometres that we need to do some work on,” said director Bob Fleming, who first proposed the concept. It’s expected that the trail will be popular with tourists but also with residents who are looking for alternate modes of transportation. And there is the likelihood that it will link to other communities. “Lake Country is taking over the old highway

along Wood Lake and it’s been designated as park so there will be be a connection into Lake Country,” said Fleming. “Kelowna is also working the other way towards the airport.” Currently, the BX-Swan Lake electoral area, which includes the trail area, is the lead funding source. But other jurisdictions in the North Okanagan, as well as Lake Country, will also be asked to contribute. It’s not known when development of the trail could begin.

Greater Vernon lowers arena fees richard rolke Morning Star Staff

It’s going to cost more to use some recreation services, while others will be less. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee’s 2013/14 fees and charges schedule indicates a 2.6 per cent increase in costs to operate services. “Wages, utilities and materials are the main factors,” said Doug Ross Doug Ross, recreation services manager. However, there are some exceptions, particularly when it comes to arenas. Adult ice rental rates for Kal Tire Place and Civic and Priest Valley arenas will be lowered by 10 per

cent, while fees for minor sports ice rentals at Kal Tire Place will drop 10 per cent and be frozen at the other facilities. “We want to be a little more market competitive,” said Ross, who says some residents have started using arenas in other communities because of lower fees. For off-season ice rental rates, they will be reduced to match the fees for regular season. “The fees being charged for off-season are prohibitive and preventing people from renting from us,” said Ross. In other recreation services, the loonie swim at the aquatic centre will be bumped to a toonie in 2013/14. “Those youth identified as being financially disadvantaged will continue to access the discounted swims for $1,” said Ross.

Acupuncture: Relief for Stress Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star

Penny Liao-Lussier, McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre manager, gives Dorothy Wilson (left), Nadine Poznanski and Marie Janicki (right) a tour of the new expanded centre Thursday at the grand opening.

Cancer centre doubles in size lisa vandervelde Morning Star Staff

With personal touches like individual dimming lights in the chemotherapy rooms, and space to breath and relax, the new cancer treatment centre is truly a place to heal. The McMurtryBaerg Cancer Centre at Vernon Jubilee Hospital has doubled in size thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. The foundation raised $500,000 to complete the expansion and renovations. “I had cancer 21 years ago and we all felt like birds on a wire while receiving our treatment,” said Marie Janicki, while enjoying the tour of the new spacious centre. With the improved space, which includes additional exam and consultation rooms, the McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre staff and physicians are able to care for patients with enhanced privacy. The extra space and privacy goes a long way to improving the difficult journey that a cancer patient takes during the course of treatments. “The redevelopment of the cancer centre is important for the people of the North Okanagan, the Shuswap, Revelstoke, and surrounding communities who are living with cancer,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-

Monashee MLA. “The expansion was made possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation and generous donations by local residents. The expanded centre will be a real improvement for patients and families facing a challenging time in their lives.” “The mission of the VJH Foundation is to support excellence in health care in the North Okanagan,” said Greg Mussenden, VJH Foundation president, during an event to recognize the many donors and supporters who made the expansion possible. “When the foundation realized that there was vacated space available for the cancer centre expansion, but funds

for the necessary renovations were not available, we were pleased to spring into action to fulfill that need.” In addition to many generous individual and community donors, a number of events were held to help raise funds, including the 2012 Charity Classic which raised more than $126,000, the JCI Vernon Hospital Gala which raised $22,266, Bollywood Bang raised $22,000, local Subway restaurants raised $9,000 from cookie sales, and City of Vernon employees donated $2,500 through the casual Friday program. “The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation is an important partner to Interior Health,” said Norm Embree, chairperson of the Interior Health board.

“On behalf of Interior Health I would like to thank the foundation and their many supporters for their hard work in making the cancer centre expansion a reality.” The McMurtryBaerg Cancer Centre opened at VJH in 1998. At the time, about 1,600 patients visited the centre every year. Today, the centre sees more than 3,500 patients a year who make about 10,000 annual visits. “All of us who work in the centre are thankful to the foundation and its supporters who recognized the need to expand and renovate the centre in order to provide a better care experience to our patients and their families,” said Dr. Ed Hardy, medical oncologist at the cancer centre.

Chinese Medicine contends that there are many root causes for emotional unease. For example, if your kidneys and heart aren’t communicating, you may experience a racing heart, chest tightness, night sweats, low back pain, insomnia, shortness of breath, and palm-sweating. If your liver isn’t smoothing the flow of energy in your body, you may feel stuck, depressed, unmotivated, irritable, and achy. Acupuncture corrects these imbalances by stimulating specific points on the body—opening communication channels within the body, allowing energy to flow freely again. Stress can improve if your body has improved energy flow. My patients comment on this change commonly. If you, or someone you know, is experiencing emotional unease, Jenna Roze R. Ac an acupuncturist can help determine the root of the imbalance, Red Bird allowing you to step outside of the turning wheel instead of Acupuncture Clinic spinning with it.

Skating in circles

’m not a math whiz by any means but these compliance buyouts in the new National Hockey League, after the last labour agreement, are starting to make my head spin. Basically it works like this. Former stars like Vincent Lecavalier and Keith Ballard get paid a lot of money to no longer play for one team and then they go and sign for more money with another team to play against the team that is still paying them. Got it? Well, for example the Vancouver Canucks said goodbye to Ballard by buying out the last two years of his contract with the team, a day after he cleared waivers (meanGlenn Mitchell ing no other NHL team wanted him, at least at the price the Canucks were paying him). So then the Minnesota Wild, in the same division as the Canucks by the way, sign him at a reduced rate, we’re still talking millions here folks, to play for their team, and, of course, against those same Canucks who just agreed to hand over all that money. I know it’s all about salary caps and giving teams more room to sign other players that they still like or hope to lure to their team but it’s unsettling to us common folk who don’t have employers scrambling to give us money, especially when we don’t live up to expectations. Heavy sigh..... ......and speaking of management screwing up with long-term contracts for big money (which they continue to do by the way), the solution to the Canucks goaltender controversy took a lot of people by surprise. Disbelief greeted the news last Sunday that Cory Schneider had been dispatched to New Jersey for a first-round pick. Instant comments I got from people playing in Funtastic that I told ranged from “Do they

MitChEll’S MuSingS

know they traded the wrong goalie?” to “That’s all they got for him?’ to “Yeah, right, that’s not funny.” But it was true. And, although at one level it’s understandable – they got a first-round forward with tons of potential and no one, apparently, was willing to take on Roberto Luongo’s contract – but they also traded a guy who they said was their No. 1 goalie today and into the future for some guy named Bo? What could they have got for Schneider if they traded him at the deadline last season? With some distance from the transaction, as in a week, I’m more at peace with it, like I have a choice, plus it’s not my neck on the line. Lou can still be a No. 1 goalie and the jury was still out on Schneider in the playoffs. Sooooo it may work out, or it could backfire exponentially, only time will tell..... ......and speaking of odd transactions, the Canucks basically ended up swapping coach Alain Vigneault for the New York Rangers coach John Tortorella. Well, that’s how it ended up but first both teams fired their respective coaches, i.e paid them out, and then went looking for a new coach, i.e. signed them to new, long-term contracts, and it just happened to be the other team’s coach. Got it? Gee, sounds similar to the compliance buyout thing. Except coaches don’t get put on waivers and they don’t get traded for each other, normally. It’s too bad though cause each team could have saved a lot of money and hassle. It also sounds like the league and its teams are throwing a lot of money around, and who knows which teams will actually benefit from all of this, and that’s without even looking at the ramifications of the free-agent frenzy which began Friday. Oh well, it all makes for fodder for the July version of the hot-stove league. Like it’s not hot enough already around here. OK, that’s it. No more hockey columns until at least August.

It’s obvious the federal government isn’t worried about communication. It was in June that Health Canada announced new policies regarding medicinal marijuana and that plants would no longer be grown in residential settings. Instead, industrialization of the process will take place. However, local authorities such as the Regional District of North Okanagan still don’t know what implications the new policy will have on them and their responsibilities for land use and ensuring buildings meet code. “A lot of people are scratching their heads about this,” said Rob Smailes, RDNO’s general manager of planning and building. And during a conference call with other local and provincial jurisdictions Thursday, it was clear that RDNO isn’t the only one unsure of its role. The concerns are valid as these large-scale operations have the potential to be unlike anything local authorities have had to approve before. It’s anticipated they will be concrete or brick to ensure security and will follow different designs than a barn. For areas outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve, communities will have to determine if industrial zoning is in place. Many issues that have arisen with residential marijuana-grow sites will continue as well, including odour from chemicals and the potential fire risk such materials can create. With 2014 just around the corner and Ottawa bent on implementing its new rules, now is the time for the federal government to sit down with local authorities and discuss what its expectations are. After all, it will be local communities dealing with any fallout.

Record checks prove onerous

ood editorial, but as with most stories, this goes a bit deeper. Last year, I was asked by the clergy at our church if I would support one of our youth workers by acting as a backup leader. Since I had taught air cadets as both a civilian instructor and later a commissioned officer, had been a 4H leader and later coached kids in the Canadian Pony Club, mostly teenaged girls. I figured that I would be a good candidate. Later, I was informed that I would have to undergo a criminal record check. Having no criminal record, I acquiesced. When I turned up at the police station, I was shocked to be hit up for a $25 fee. However, if it was going to help the kids and support my church, well it was the least I could do. Later, the form was returned as inconclusive. I was shocked. I was then offered, for another $25, the opportunity to submit my fingerprints for further vetting. At this point, I was thinking about cutting my losses and letting the matter die a natural death. But, you cant really get away with doing that. Whether it was just me or whether others in my community were really viewing me somewhat differently I'll never be able technological gain It is very difficult to understand why the GMO issue is so black and white for some individuals. I can understand why people are apprehensive about the motives of large multinational companies. Especially since Obama has given them total protection against lawsuits pertaining to any GMO issues that individuals might want to litigate. However, let us look at some of the positives. Cotton was the most sprayed crop ever grown by man. Now thanks to GMOs, sprays have been reduced by 60 to 80 per cent, a huge reduction of hundreds of thousands of gallons of pesticide not being dumped on the earth, surely this is an environmental gain. The papaya fruit was on the verge of extinction due to the uncontrollable papaya ringspot virus. Thank GMOs for the save. Sometimes a crop's continued survival depends on transgenesis. I was a member of the American Association of Cereal Chemists for 31 years and chose to join the biotechnology division, basically because of curiosity.

the fields used to establish the shortlist for the first form, and I was informed the initial search was based on gender, given first name and year of birth. If there were any discrepancies in these, that would trigger the second phase. Good heavens, do you know how many males named William were born in 1946? I don't but I bet it's a lot, and I'm sure that some got up to some misdeeds. At this point, I suggested that maybe they add the last name and maybe the three middle digits of the applicant's SIN. She thought it was a good idea, but it wasn't RCMP policy. I also asked about the fingerprints and was informed the RCMP could not access armed forces or security clearance prints. So now I am $50 poorer but I have bragging rights showing I'm not a pervert. Though, maybe I should be careful here because the form did say that the RCMP could not find any, not that it didn't exist. All of this left such a bad taste in my mouth that I no longer volunteer. The obvious moral here is that if you are male, have a common given name and were born between 1900 and 1995, you will be thoroughly vetted and it's going to cost you $50, or stay away from volunteer work with kids. Bill Dunsmore

to know, but there was no stopping now. I had to go through with it. I returned to the police station at my appointed time and taken to the cells to be fingerprinted. An all-business warden proceeded to fingerprint me while I gave a bleak gaze over the empty cells. You don't want to ever go there. I was informed that this further investigation would take up to three months. Later, weeks later, I was informed I could come back and retrieve my well-vetted and stamped form.

It showed to the best of the RCMP's investigation that I was not a molester. Whoopee. By this time, my curiosity was piqued. I mean, what were the search fields used in the early investigations, and also why was I required to provide fingerprints when this data was garnered twice before, once when I was enrolled in the armed forces, and once again when I became an air traffic controller. Air Canada did me as well but we know what those prints were for. I politely asked the police agent about

I met a lot of the world’s top cereal biotechnologists. These superstars of science have only the best intentions; feed the world, reduce pesticide and herbicide use, and improve the problems inherent in all agriculture. They had no intention of creating Franken foods and global disaster. Now mankind is smart enough to change one gene at a time, instead of helter skelter cross breeding, which moves hundreds or more genes. This technological gain must be celebrated. When the GMO science finally turns off the allergy gene in the peanut, no gene switches or genes added, just turn it off, could we all be on board for that? Put down your sticks with signs. After all, you drove to your protest with an automobile, a wonderful invention by man that has killed more people than any other innovation, maybe even more than the gun. Progress is good. If not, stop using the wheel and fire. GMOs have not been proven to even cause a rash or a sore throat in spite of 20 years of consumption.

physiotheRapists I had physio at the hospital following shoulder surgery and they do a fantastic job. They helped me organize my exercises and provide education to prevent me from causing damage to the surgery repair. The only problem is that the physios at the hospital are becoming an endangered species. When you phone to get an appointment for physio after surgery, the hospital asks you to go to private physio and tells you that they are booked up for two to three weeks. Surgery patients should be able to access hospital physio who not only will do a terrific job but are in contact with the surgeons and know what physio they want their patients to have. The hospital needs to increase the amount of physio instead of cutting back on this valuable program. chester Rauhala

only receives $50,000 a year from the City of Vernon. The budget for 2014 is $75,000 and the society is seeking $25,000 from RDNO, $42,000 from Vernon and the remainder would come from fundraising and other sources. Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, wonders why there isn’t provincial government funding.

“How much money is this program saving the criminal justice system and why aren’t they acknowledging this?” she said. Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director, isn’t convinced restorative justice is a local responsibility. “Is this a function of the regional district? We can’t solve every problem by taxing our people to death,” he said. Before making a decision on funding, the Electoral Area Advisory Committee will seek more information on the program from the Restorative Justice Society and ask the Ministry of Justice about its role.

Busy month for real estate sales Morning Star Staff

There has been a significant upswing in real estate activity in the North Okanagan. There were 185 overall sales in June, up 23.3 per cent from 150 during the same month in 2012. Total residential sales for the month went from 136 to 173 or a 27.2 per cent increase. “We hope to see this trend continue as summer unfolds and the warm weather sparks renewed seller interest and buyer activity,” said Karen Singbeil, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president. Year-to-date, sales were on par with the first six months of 2012, dipping one per cent from 733 to 726 units. Some price ranges are moving more quickly than others. “Serious sellers recognize that their properties must be priced within the current market conditions in order to obtain a successful sale. It is evident that well-priced properties attract attention and should sell,” said Singbeil.

Horse racing returns to track Morning Star Staff

Horse racing is returning to Vernon’s Kin Race Track. The first day of races is scheduled for July 14, with races also set for July 28 and August 18. “This will mark the 120th year of racing at the site, the oldest race track in Canada,” said Ed Woolley, president of the Okanagan

Equestrian Society. The gates open at noon with the parade to post for the first race at 1:15 p.m. “About 1,200 people per day attended last year’s races and we expect similar attendance this year,” said Woolley. “Entries for this year’s races are expected from B.C, Alberta and

Council seeks compromise A first-hand look has Coldstream politicians trying to resolve building heights. Council members toured the next phase of the Highlands at Kalamalka Lake on Middleton Way Tuesday after neighbours expressed opposition to the developer’s height variance application. “We are trying to balance the rights of the developer and the concerns of the neighbours,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “The views of people on Middleton Way will be affected.” The height variance being sought is from five to 6.5 metres on lots 19 to 33 below the road. While on the tour, the developer used an 11-metre stick with a balloon to simulate heights. “It demonstrated the impact will be from the higher side (of the road) and not the lower side where he is asking for a variance,” said Besso. While no variance is needed for the high side of the road, Besso says an increased height of 1.5 metres on the lower side will influence what is constructed on the high part. Two possible options, according to Besso, are to approve the variance as is or to disallow the variance unless restrictions are placed on the upper side heights to minimize the impact on the neighbours’ views. Council will consider the variance July 15. “We will see if a compromise can be reached,” said Besso.

Animals struggle if locked in hot vehicle Morning Star Staff

Numerous complaints are still being recorded of animals left in vehicles during this time of hot weather. So the City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit has teamed up with the SPCA to provide public information. “ Te m p e r a t u r e s inside vehicles becomes unbearable for animals in a matter of minutes regardless of whether windows have been left open for the animals,” said Warren Smith, rural programs coordinator for the safe communities unit. “Report these instances with accurate location for the safety of these animals. “ The temperature in a vehicle, even in the shade with the win-

dows partly open, can rapidly reach a level high enough to seriously harm or even kill your pet. A dog can be overwhelmed by heat in as little as 10 minutes. If you see a dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in trouble, ask stores to page customers. If the dog is in distress call your local SPCA, animal control or police immediately. If it is 26°C outside, inside a car – even with the windows cracked – the temperature can reach 37°C in 10 minutes and 43°C in 20 minutes. A dog’s normal temperature is 38°C. If your dog’s temperature reaches 41°C cell and organ damage begins to occur. Heatstroke symp-

Nobody was hurt Wednesday when a Honda Civic rolled into Vernon Creek in Polson Park just after 5:30 p.m. A witness told RCMP that they had observed the vehicle roll from the parking lot into the creek. No one was in the vehicle at the time. The vehicle owner returned to find the car half submerged in the water. Police report the car was left in neutral and the parking brake was not set. The car was towed out of the creek.

toms on a dog include exaggerated panting; bright red gums; rapid or erratic pulse; thick saliva; anxious or staring expression; weakness and muscle tremors; lack of coordination; convulsions or vomiting; collapse; seizures or coma. If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke follow these instructions: n Immediately move the animal to shade;

n Wet the dog with cool water including foot pads and around the head; n Fan vigorously to promote evaporation. This process cools the blood reducing core temperature; n Do not apply ice. This constricts blood flow which inhibits cooling; n Allow the dog to drink some cool water; n Take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further

treatment. Veterinarians may apply supportive measures such as intrave-

nous fluids to rehydrate the animal and oxygen to prevent brain damage.

The City of Vernon has recognized the Vernon Community Music School for its commitment to heritage preservation. In October 2012, the city presented music school officials with a heritage plaque in recognition of the heritage significance of the building. The plaque is located at the front of the music school along 32nd Avenue where it can be easily viewed by the public. “The Vernon Community Music School is in the process of completing building repairs and updating their foundation so they can provide a safe and viable musical home for generations to come,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. The school is located in the Smith house, a two-storey Dutch Colonial gambrel house found at 1705-32nd

Avenue. This historic place is valued for its association with a succession of owners and their contributions to the social and cultural life of Vernon. S. C. Smith (18491933) was a prominent businessman and civic leader in the 1890s and early 1900s. He established a lumber operation on Howe Sound in 1891 and the next year moved it to Vernon. Smith’s sash and door factory, which operated from the mid-1890s until Smith’s death, was the town’s largest employer and the source of most of the local building

material. In 1894, it cut 17,000 doors. Smith had sawmills in Enderby and Naramata and a lumberyard in Penticton. Mrs. Smith died before the house was finished but Smith moved in and lived there with several family members. Upon Smith’s death, it was unoccupied until 1941, when Clement Smith (son) returned to live there. In 1956, the Catholic Church bought it as a convent for the Sisters of St. Anne, who taught at St. James Catholic School. In 1981, the house was sold to the City of Vernon. The city

designated the building as a municipal heritage site that same year. The city and the B.C. Heritage Trust contributed funds for its restoration, after which it was used as the headquarters for the 1982 B.C. Summer Games. The city then sold the building to the Vernon Community Music School in 1982. The music school created studios in the house and also renovated the carriage house. The Smith house is also valued for its high quality of architectural design. Commissioned in 1905 and completed in 1908, at a cost of $13,000, a significant sum at the time, it is Vernon’s 48 most significant Colonial Revival villa. A large frame struc-

ture, the house is sidegabled with a gambrel roof with wide overhanging eaves decorated with modillions. A two-storey portico with Tuscan pillars and matching semi-circular porches on either side dominates the front façade. Other fine design details include bay windows, an attached onestorey conservatory, balustrades above the porches, cedar siding, fieldstone foundation. Interior features include large rooms finished with plaster, fir and hardwoods. There is a ballroom with a sprung floor in the attic. In the rear is a fine carriage house with a gambrel roof. The house was a significant project that spurred growth in the new Lakeview subdivision.

Kelowna Flightcraft has been awarded a $15 million contract to provide aircraft maintenance for Department of Defense search and rescue aircraft that will sustain 54 jobs at the company’s Kelowna Airport hangar. Kerry-Lynne Findlay, associate minister of national

defence, made the announcement before the Kelowna Flightcraft employees Friday, joined by KelownaLake Country MP Ron Cannan, Peter Van Loan, the Conservative government house leader, and Barry Lapointe, chairperson of Kelowna Flightcraft. “These fleets are key to our Royal Canadian

Air Force and its ability to carry out important missions such as critical search and rescue,” said Findlay. “This contract demonstrates the government of Canada’s commitment to ensuring

our men and women in uniform continue to have well maintained equipment that is ready to support operations.” This two-year contract includes one optional one-year extension which if exer-

cised could increase the value of the contract to $24.9 million.

It wasn't the finish he envisioned. Coldstream’s Matt McEachran-Law knew he needed to go low for a chance at the top-10, but inconsistent ball striking had him scrambling for pars rather than birdies as he posted 76-76 in the final two rounds of the B.C. Junior Boys Golf Championship in Revelstoke. Although his 33rd-place finish at 13-over (77-72-7676) is 34 spots higher than last year, he was disappointed in himself for squandering opportunities all week long. “I just wasn’t consistent and was not striking the ball the way I can,” said McEachran-Law. The title went to Jared DuToit of Kimberley (7168-73-65, 11-under), who came up with a clutch birdie on 18 to get into a three-way playoff with Coquitlam’s Kevin Vigna and Vancouver’s Jordan Lu. Playing the 16th, DuToit carded a par on the first playoff hole as Vigna and Lu hit poor tee shots and wound up making bogie. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie struggled to an 85 on her final round to finish tied for 21st at the B.C. junior girls playdowns at the Belmont Golf Course in Langley. Surrey’s Jamie Oleksiew finished at 4-under (71-6966-74) for first place. McEachran-Law, his brother Chris McEachranLaw, Vernon’s Brady Stead and Spall’s Conner Kozak begin play Tuesday at the B.C. Men's Amateurs, cohosted by Copper Point and Radium Springs.

Vernon duo takes on B.C. duty Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor

At 5-foot-11, 140 pounds, Owen Miller rules the air waves as a centre back in Rep soccer. Connor Glennon, while smaller and lighter, tears up the pitch using speed and moves up front and on the wings. Both talented teens will represent Vernon with Team B.C. this summer. They had team photographs Tuesday before the start of three days of highperformance training. It will be fullout practices in Vancouver from July 8-21 with the Prairie Invitational Calgary tournament ending the month. Miller, who is entering Grade 8 at Kalamalka Secondary this fall, sparkled in provincial U13 trials phase two during a tournament in Portland two weeks ago. B.C. defeated two Portland Timbers sides, tied the Whitecaps Residence program team and lost to an older Seattle entry. “I think they took me for my leadership,” said Miller, who in Vernon U12 and U11 Rep Development was like an assistant coach. “I was captain down in Portland for our team in the final game.” Miller draws praise from Team B.C. U13 coach Leigh Sembaluk for being big and mobile. “Technically he is fairly good as well for his size,” said Sembaluk. “While tactically, Owen still has lots to learn, he has improved tremendously because he takes feedback very well and showed significant improvement with us over the last phase. “We typically look at the ‘four pillars’ of a player – physical, technical, tactical and mental. For me, the first three pillars, Owen blends in with the group we had well, but it was the mental side that really set him apart from the rest.” A fan of Barcelona and centre back Sergio Ramos, Miller hopes to earn an American scholarship down the road. Sembaluk is impressed with his maturity and eagerness. “Any directions or challenges I would give him, he embraced

Ultimately, the reason he made the final phase of the program was because he has the ability to make those around him better. “Uniquely, this isn’t because of his ability but his character that is necessary, on and off the field, for the success of the team. While Owen has a lot to learn on the field, he possesses the character to make the most of the opportunities and learning experiences he will get. He was a pleasant surprise and one that ended up surpassing my expectations in phase two and made himself an easy selection for phase three.”

Miller played for last-place Thompson FC in the EA Sports Premier League this season, but he remains positive about the experience. “We had four ties and the rest were losses. We had close games. We had one where we were up 1-0 until the fourth minute of extra time where a penalty was called and they scored. “We can compete. We improved a lot because last year we were losing 8-0, 9-0.” Glennon is no surprise to the provincial program and played for the U14 Whitecaps Pre-Residency team

instead of Team B.C. in the Portland tourney. “I’m looking forward to phase three,” said Glennon. “We’re going to Calgary for nationals in a month if the floods clear out and before that, there’s a tournament in Vancouver with American teams coming down. We’ll also be playing the Whitecaps Residency team twice.” David Broadhurst, who heads the Whitecaps Academy in Vernon and Kelowna, said Glennon was identified as a player of distinction and offered the chance to attend a number of training sessions with the residency program in Vancouver. He showed well enough to get an invite to the Oregon event with the Caps. “In regards to Connor’s attributes, he has a high level of technical ability and the ability to use both feet very well,” said Broadhurst. “His energy levels are excellent which enables him to produce high levels of work rate during games and training but most of all, Connor loves the game. He wants to learn and continue to develop, he always asks questions at every session to ensure he gets the most out of every opportunity he is given. “I enjoy working with Connor and am looking forward to seeing him back in the school academy in September.” Glennon, who turned 14 on June 28, is going into Grade 9 at Seaton. He is stepping up his game at every new level. His TOFC team finished at 4-4-5 in the middle of the pack before losing in the playoffs. “I’m passing quicker and not holding on to the ball as long, and not only seeing one option, but seeing more than one and having a better vision on the field,” he said. Glennon will use a short break in training to take in the CONCACAF Gold Cup July 11 in Seattle, catching Mexico versus Canada, and Panama versus Martinique, while also enjoying some thrills at the Silverwood theme park in Coeur d’Alene. His favourite player is Welsh winger Gareth Bale of the Tottenham Hotspurs.

Tigers outlast Rocks Morning Star Staff

Two lines of non-stop hustle versus a full squad following well-drilled systems made for an exciting matchup Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Buoyed by the extra support of Armstrong Shamrocks alumni night, the shorthanded Rocks pushed the Vernon Source For Sports Tigers early, only to fall 7-5 in Game 2 of their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series. Vernon hosted Game 3 of the best-of-five set Saturday at Kal Tire Place. If necessary, Game four would go Monday night (7:30) at Nor-Val. Playing with two lines and change, Armstrong took a 2-0 lead to the first intermission on singles by Sam Hanley and Brody Berg. “They came out very well,” said Vernon assistant coach Keith Hanna, of Armstrong. “They had a lot of momentum from their alumni night here, so that really worked in their favour. They’re a never-quit team anyhow. “But there’s no panic in our team. Our guys know our systems and once they play that, they’ll eventually get through and get some goals up front.” The No. 2-seeded Tigers responded with a four-goal second period, offence coming from Liam Macphee, Jordan Orr, Nolan Frame and Brett

Hanna. Adam New and Stephen Ringdal countered for the No. 3 Shamrocks to make it 4-4 heading into the final period. Willy Hanley spun off a check and beat netminder Joel Fruncillo (37 saves) from in close to put the hosts ahead early in the frame, but Vernon stormed back with three unanswered goals, two on the man advantage, to secure the win. Orr provided the equalizer with a snipe from the top of the circle on the powerplay, and Frame netted the winner on a terrific dive through the crease. Quinton Harrish added insurance on the powerplay, beating Josh Point (27 saves) after the Tigers’ Craig Bigsby intercepted the Armstrong keeper’s clearance attempt. Armstrong head coach Bryan Cope praised his players’ effort, but said they were too fatigued to capitalize on scoring chances after Vernon’s thirdperiod barrage. “We were being too tight on our sticks on offence,” he said. “We were doing the right things, we were getting the rebounds, but we were starting to tighten up, especially being down a goal.” Meanwhile, the No. 1 Kelowna Raiders grounded the No. 4 Kamloops Venom in Game 1 of their semifinal Thursday. Game 2 went Saturday.

Sunterra Custom Homes Sistas reaffirmed their grip on top seed in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 table with a 5-3 win over OMG Chickkickers Thursday night at Marshall Field #4. Kim Sylevester got the 7-1-1 Sistas going with a well-struck penalty kick after a Chick was called for a handball. Less than five minutes later, Sylvester broke through the OMG defence for the 2-0 goal. The third-place Chickkickers, now 5-4, replied with a pair of goals to equalize before the break. After a bit of a scrambly first half, Sunterra coach Volker Otto got the Sistas settled and refocused during halftime. The pep talk worked as they began the second half with purposeful passing and control. Less than 10 minutes in, Sylvester crossed a beauty to Nicole Williams, who fed Amy Fitchett for a blast past OMG keeper Wendy Nadeau. It was her first goal of the year. Deanna Baker then put one in off another Williams feed. The Chicks cut the lead to one, but Baker sealed the win with her second on the night, assisted by Fitchett. Ever-improving Sistas’ keeper Suzyn August made some key saves, while Cassandra Otto continuously moved the ball out of harm’s way. Becky Birbilis was all-star on the back line, and she even made a few offensive forays up the middle. Lesley Williams saved the day

for the Sistas many times on the defensive line. Newbies Dalvir Nahal and Lisa Shearer both showed strong in their Sistas debuts, breaking up several of the Chickkickers’ offensive attempts. The Green Rockets spread out the scoring as they dismantled Capri Insurance 6-1 at Marshall #2. Leah Willinger, with a pair, and singles by Anna Clarke, Angie Mende, Casi Stanley and Dana Dimmick accounted for the second-place Rockets’ attack, improving them to 6-4. Sam Audley and Lindsay Smith held the back line for the Green team, and Brittany Chase, Willinger and Nicole Vogan were relentless in the midfield. Stanley and Clarke kept the 3-5 Capri defence on its toes with plenty of attempts at net. Rachel Cross was her usual unstoppable self. In Masters Division play Thursday at Marshall #5, Longhorn Impact outlasted Salmon Arm’s TED United 3-2 in a battle of the top two teams. After fielding just 10 players Tuesday night, the undefeated Impact (15-0) came prepared with a full roster to take on second-place TED (9-2-1). But it was the visitors who scored first, connecting on a header after a great through ball. Longhorn needed just two minutes to respond as Lauren Harris buried a feed from Dawn Lemiski. United retook the lead on an 18-yard volley, but the Impact regrouped yet again as Edeen Ramsay and Chris Fraser used

their stealth moves to weave through the TED defence to set up another Harris strike before the break. Jodi Hawthorne showed versatility in playing solid defence and midfield. Deadlocked 30 minutes into the second half, Ramsay put a beautiful cross onto the waiting

head of Harris, who converted her hat-trick goal. TED came on strong in the late going, but sweeper Bree Pickett, Velvet Beaumont, Lisa Boer and Suzie Andrews worked tirelessly on the back line to keep Salmon Arm’s talented forwards in check.

Team B.C. courts Vernon hoopsters Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff

A grueling three-day tryout in Langley has landed a trio of rising Vernon basketball stars spots on Team B.C. Jordyn Cullum and Kristy Fugel, both of the Vernon Panthers, will spend the summer logging miles on the court with the provincial Under 15 girls team, while Megan Rouault of the Fulton Maroons will tour with the U14 girls squad. Jordan Korol of the Kalamalka Lakers was offered a spot on the U16 girls team, but chose to decline. The girls’ selection will place them alongside (and against) some of the best players in the province, and in the U.S. Each team will play a 20-plus game schedule throughout June and July, with several major tournaments in Washington State. The U15 girls wrap up their summer with a big tourney in Las Vegas, July 22-25. Cullum, who moved to Vernon from Vanderhoof, plays the post position and excels at shutting down opposing teams’ offence. “I’m more of a defensive rebounder,” said Cullum, who found provincial tryouts tough, but a great experience. “They put you through a lot of drills. It’s just a lot of hard work and long hours. It’s worth it just to get better at what you love.” Fugel, whose older sister Karley helped VSS reach the B.C. senior AA girls championship final for the first time in more than three decades (they fell to the Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey in the final in May), has shown a knack for generating offence by pressuring defenders. She credits Panther junior girls coach Dave Tetrault for developing her skill set.

“I’ve had Mr. T for a few years,” said Fugel. “He’s a great coach and he helped me find a love for the game through his humour and knowledge. He has a great way of making practices fun and worthwhile.” Like Fugel, Rouault has some royal court pedigree as older brothers Mitch, Brett and Michael all starred for the Maroons in their high school days. Michael just graduated and Brett currently plays with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. Rouault found Team B.C. auditions, held at Brookswood Secondary in Langley, slightly nerve wracking. “It was scary, but fun,” said Rouault. “Whenever I made a mistake, it was what all I thought of the whole time. I wouldn’t think of anything good I did.” All three girls were teammates on the Okanagan regional team last year, earning runners-up at B.C. championships under coach Warren Cullum (Jordyn’s father). He said each girl brought something different to the regional team. In Rouault, he sees one of the top allaround players in her age group in the province. “She brings a lot of maturity for her age to the game of basketball. She is an intelligent player and an incredibly hard worker.” On Jordyn, he added: “She may be one of the hardest working players I know. She brings energy, toughness and size to her game. Her ability to defensively shut down her opponent is her strength.” On Fugel: “An outstanding junior player who has great energy on the floor. She is a great team player and understands the game well beyond her age.”

NOU knock off Merlot 3-1 Continued from a22

In the other Masters Thursdaynighter, North Okanagan United grounded Shuswap Merlot 3-1 in Salmon Arm. Carly Bibby got the 4-5-4 NOU offence rolling a gorgeous pass from defender Pat Nielson. They went up 2-0 on a free kick from about the half-

field mark, with the vivacious Carla Gibson unleashing a high bullet up and over the Merlot keeper’s head. (Lean) Lena Dean, who covered the field like a marathon runner, capped the offence. NOU keeper Dar Weise came out to aggressively challenge the 3-6-3 Merlot forwards.

Rev. Allan and Gwen Dawe celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this year. They were married June 26, 1953. Allan was born and raised in Lavington, while Gwen is from West Vancouver. They met while Allan was studying at UBC to become a minister. He and his roommate decided to go to a service at a church on 10th Avenue. When they came out of the service it was raining and they spotted a group of girls from the service walking in the rain, only one of whom had an umbrella. They quickly caught up to her, shoved the other girls aside and squeezed under the umbrella with her. Allan took a shine to her, found out her name was

That area of your life will be relatively stable, with few surprises. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Go ahead and trust some of your hunches. Just don’t go overboard and take every thought you get as gospel. Don’t forget to use your brains as well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) One of your greatest possibilities for gain will stem from some kind of collective endeavor. Remember, there is strength in union. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) An impulsive decision could turn out to haunt you down the line. Take time to analyze all your options, so that future problems don’t erupt. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although it might take you extra time to get your act together, once you establish some plans and get going on them, you’ll be both industrious and productive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You should be quite adept at matters that require a quick wit and sharp mental agility. These attributes are likely to be most effective in social involvements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You’re likely to fare much better acting alone when it comes to financial or commercial endeavors. If you must include associates, be sure you’re the one running the show. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Complicated, theoretical involvements are your forte. You have the ability to visualize and grasp all the complex, pertinent facts, even if they appear fuzzy to others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although financial trends are rather encouraging, you’re not likely to

benefit from any venture that is too risky. If you’re smart, you’ll avoid taking chances. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Even if most people greet you with pleasure, a few close relatives might not be so welcoming. Don’t get upset -- consider the source. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your possibilities for success improve when you do what needs doing without diverting too much energy to side issues. Give full attention to the job at hand.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder NEED TWO TRICKS, GO FOR TWO TRICKS Herbert Beerbohm Tree, an English actor and theater manager who died in 1917, said, “A committee should consist of three men, two of whom are absent.” So, a male bridge declarer is a committee. In this deal, how should the committee play in three no-trump after West leads the heart jack? Most authorities recommend not using Stayman when responder has 4-3-3-3 distribution with a four-card major. And that will be right most of the time. However, when there is a 4-4 fit and opener has 4-4-3-2 distribution, the suit in which the partnership has only five cards could prove to be a fatal weakness. (Note that

in this deal four spades has no chance, but if West had a second spade, it would be makable.) South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. His order of business is to collect a second spade trick. And there is a guaranteed line of play. After taking the first trick, declarer should cash his spade ace. Here, the queen drops from West, so South continues with a spade to dummy’s jack. But if the ace collects only low cards, declarer still plays another spade and must eventually establish that second winner. Note that initially playing a spade to the 10 is fatal here. The tempting finesse must be deleted from the agenda.

Finally, here is another question: Suppose South needs three spade tricks. What should he do? Now it is correct to play low to the 10 on the first round. And if it loses to the queen or king, South next cashes his ace. He has a paltry 37 percent chance of success.

Standing at the crest of a pass between Wensleydale and Swaledale, I look out across the fells of Yorkshire, at the scudding clouds throwing patterns of light and shadow over the purple heather and bracken covered hills and I’m silenced by their stark beauty. Behind me, a group of people walk gingerly around the edges of deep rocky fissures—known as the Buttertubs. These were used in bygone times by farmers who often had to travel long distances — usually involving overnight stops — to sell their produce in market towns. The farmers would place their butter and cheese in sacks which would then be suspended in these cool “Buttertub” caverns to preserve their freshness. This is just one example of what undoubtedly was a hard-scrabble existence for the farmers and lead-miners who lived and worked on these wild and lonely moors. When the mines closed down at the end of the last century, people were forced to leave Swaledale and look for work elsewhere. Most of them never returned. Today, only a few scattered farmsteads endure the severe winters and the hills stretch bleak and windswept to the horizon. Not all of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is barren wilderness. Wensleydale is picture-postcard pretty: green undulating pastureland where black-faced sheep graze—and occasionally amble across the road. Eighteenth century slate barns stand in the centre of hay-fields, and low stone walls weave over the hills. The river Ure gurgles past medieval inns and the ramparts of old castles. Small market towns bustle with activity, their winding cobbled roads flanked by craft shops, country pubs, rural cottages, stone churches, parks and gardens. At a little pub where I order a pint, the owner Alf, is a bearded gnome with a

St. Mary’s Church in Thirsk is where British author James Herriot was married. gap-toothed grin. He tells me that the pub stands near a path known as the Corpse Way. In medieval times, remote villages at the upper end of Swaledale didn’t have churches, and anyone wanting to be buried in consecrated ground would have to be carried 15 or 20 miles all the way to Grinton. “People had nowt to spend on coffins,” he says, “so t’body would be wrapped oop in a sheet and popped into a large wicker baaskit, which would be carried by t’men of t’village.” On a hot summer’s day the whiff from the basket would get pretty strong, and the men would light their clay pipes to mask the odour. At intervals along the Corpse Way were barns known as “Dead Houses” where the weary pall-bearers could plunk the basket down while they went off to the local pub (“Laaike oower plaace ‘ere,” Alf says) to knock back a few tankards of ale and fortify themselves for the rest of the trip. “Noo-a-days,” he adds, “there’s a charity walk wha’s held every year on t’ Corpse Way.” The prize? A little lapel-pin in the shape of a coffin. The Dales are full of legends of giants,

ghosts and blood-thirsty robber-barons. In more recent times, however, it is James Herriot’s tales that have delighted readers. No visit to the Dales would be complete without seeing Thirsk, the little town where he lived and worked, (his model for the fictional village of Darrowby) and St. Mary’s church where he married Helen. The TV series, All Creatures Great and Small was filmed not in Thirsk, but in Askreigg as well as several other locales in the Dales and I am as thrilled as any ‘Looky-Luke’ tourist to click several shots of “Skeldale House” and “The Drovers’ Arms” and to chuckle at the sight of the ruined Abbey where Tristan’s midnight prank went hilariously awry. The village of Goathland, looks like a film set — which, of course it is, in its guise of “Aidensfield” on TV’s Heartbeat —and I almost expect to see Greengrass and his little dog shambling along the street towards me. An old Yorkshire proverb says: “If tha does owt for nowt, allus do it for thysen.” (If you do anything for nothing, do it for yourself). Good advice. The Dales are worth visiting for ‘thysen.’ Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

VICTORIA - One of the most legendary challenges is on display at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria. Race to the End of the Earth, which charts the triumph and tragedy in the race between Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British Navy captain Robert Scott to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1911/12, runs until Oct. 14.

“The race to claim Earth’s last great geographical prize is one of the most dramatic stories of discovery and courage in expedition history,” said Jack Lohman, RBCM chief executive officer. “It is a celebration of what motivates us as humans to explore and understand the world around us.” RBCM in Victoria is the only Canadian stop

for Race to the End of the Earth. It is organized by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in collaboration wit the RBCM and the Musee des Confluences in Lyon, France. The exhibit features original artifacts and photographs from both expeditions, including one of the Norwegian team’s sledges, Amundsen’s binoculars and Scott’s personal goggles. Authentic re-creations of Scott’s hut at Cape Evans and the Norwegian party’s

underground workrooms show what life in Antarctica was like for the teams as they prepared for their push to the pole. A display recounts the British team’s final days. It includes the last letter by Scott to his friend and publisher Reginald Smith, written in the small tent in which he, Edward Wilson and Henry Bowers died on their return from the South Pole.

Hydro seeks higher rates for upgrades tom fletcher Black Press

Costly upgrades to old dams are not enough to prepare BC Hydro for a major earthquake, and electricity rates will continue to rise as upgrades and expansion continue. Energy Minister Bill Bennett acknowledged Thursday that further rate increases will be needed to finance improvements to the vast hydroelectric network and pay debt on works already completed or underway. “My job will be to restrain the increases, but there’s no way we can continue to sell power to customers, whether they’re commercial or industrial or residential, at the rates that we’re selling it right now,” Bennett told reporters at the legislature. NDP critics focused Thursday on a disaster preparedness audit commissioned by BC Hydro last year. The PricewaterhouseCoopers audit reported in December that BC Hydro is at high risk of a prolonged power outage after a major earthquake because of a lack of coordinated emergency plans.

ns... Worry Taking tfheHome Renovatio Out o

“BC Hydro is not adequately prepared to react, respond and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake as there is not a mature or integrated preparedness program,” the audit states.

Look, Senate reform has been an issue since 1926. Our government is going to make the changes for Canadians ASAP. The current issue of inappropriate expenses, claimed by a few members of the Senate, will be addressed by the independent commissioner of the House of Commons’ conflict of interest and ethics and by the Senate’s ethics officer. These two bodies are independent and report to Parliament. Our government is the government that put in place the Federal Accountability Act. This Act allows the Auditor General (AG) to follow all taxpayer money and ensure accountability and transparency. Never before could an AG audit Crown corporations (Canada Post, CBC, and Atomic Energy Canada), First Nations bands, MPs and senators. It is good that we have uncovered the abuse; it means the new oversight is working! The PM has also directed officials to tighten up the expense guidelines of Senators to make certain the rules are clear, crystal clear. Finally, it you want to see your MP’s expenses, you can go to my website, www.colinmayes.ca, where my expenses are posted. I had a 25 per cent surplus and, once again, our office had the lowest budget of all B.C. MPs.

hen our Conservative government was elected in 2006, one of the pillars of our party’s platform was Senate reform. Once elected, we attempted to start that process. We brought forward a bill that would limit the terms for senators to eight years. As we were a minority government, the Liberals and NDP voted this bill down, not once, but seven times. When Canadians gave our party a majority mandate in 2011, we began the Senate reform process again, but Colin Mayes this time, we not only wanted to set term limits, we also wanted to look at an elected Senate, and possibly, abolishing the Senate. These actions, however, may have violated the Constitution of Canada, so the questions of Senate reform were referred to the Supreme Court of Canada for legal and constitutional advice. In the time that it has taken to do this, seven years now, the prime minister has had to replace senators that retired. Appointments were made to insure our legislative Senate reform agenda could go forward through the Senate and the appointed Conservative senators were clearly advised that we were going to reform the terms of their jobs. Currently, there has been much ado regarding Senate expenses, as has been in the past. I recall Reform MPs, years ago, dressing up in Mexican

Summer is barbecue time in the Okanagan but that also means there’s a need for propane safety. Problems generally occur during the maintenance of propane fueled equipment and the changing of empty cylinders.

“In each case, it is a matter of insuring there is no way the propane can escape,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. “It requires making sure that barbeques, lanterns, heaters, stoves or any other equipment fueled by propane are all well maintained. Keep

them clean and inspect them for any worn or broken parts to insure they are free of leaks.” When you are required to change empty cylinders with full ones, here are some tips to do it safely: n Make sure that you take your time while replacing your

empty cylinder. Ensure that the special plug provided is threaded onto the outlet of the service valve when you disconnect the hose. n Carry the empty cylinder in the upright position with the safety valve on top. n Older style propane cylinders are required to be tightened with a wrench. Turning in a counter clockwise direction can tighten their left-hand threads. Newer style propane cylinder fittings do not require a wrench and tighten in a clockwise direction. n If your barbecue connection has an O ring, make sure you check it for fractures and cracks every time you replace your cylinder. n Never smoke while handling a propane cylinder. n Do not store extra propane cylinders beneath your barbecue or inside any structure as excess heat could cause the cylinder to release overpressure and propane along with it. n Keep empty or full propane cylinders out of the direct sunlight, away from openings in any structure and out of the reach of small children.

Elise Hahn teaches English to a group of Mexican workers at a farmhouse in the Okanagan, through Red de Apoyo para Migrantes Agricolas.

Working through the language Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

As many as 1,500 Latin American and Caribbean agricultural workers — men and women — spend up to eight months of the year in the Okanagan but often all they see is the road to and from the airport and the grocery store. Red de Apoyo para Migrantes Agricolas (RAMA, the Migrant Workers Support Network), is changing that with a variety of services, including English classes, referrals to community and health services and recreational opportunities, translation and interpretation and information on workers’ rights. The workers are in Canada through a federal government seasonal agricultural worker program agreement with the sending countries, and most have families but are not allowed to bring them. RAMA grew from a photo exhibition on migrant workers by Elise Hahn when she was working on her Master of Arts degree in political science at UBCO. “I knew that the workers felt very isolated and quite disconnected from Canada when they were working here,” said Hahn, who speaks Spanish. Amy Cohen, who also speaks Spanish, had done work with U.S. migrant workers when she was doing her master’s degree in the United States, and whose husband is from Mexico, saw the photos at the Lake Country Museum and was interested. “We are often approached by Spanish speakers asking for help and when I saw these wonderful photos, I wanted to help in a more organized way. I called Elise,” she said. They co-founded RAMA with the mandate to support workers in the promotion of their well being and security,

“We see Latin American farm workers as being really integral to our community.” — Elise Hahn guided by what the workers themselves say is needed most. The ultimate goal is to be migrant-worker led, responding to priorities directed by migrant workers themselves. One of the first projects was the English classes as that was what the workers asked for. So far, workers are getting information about RAMA by word of mouth and information sheets in Spanish. “Language is an issue and their mobility is restricted, as they stay on the farms in the accommodation provided by the employer. Some employers provide some transportation and some workers can bike but it is generally difficult to get out,” said Cohen, who teaches social and political anthropology at Okanagan College. The English classes are held Sundays, the workers’ only day off, or evenings with volunteer teachers. There is a need for more volunteers, who can be anyone who speaks English. No teacher training is necessary and volunteers do not need to speak any Spanish. The classes take the format of twohour sessions in a conversational setting. The present time commitment is one class per month. Volunteers include people who plan to teach English in other countries and want experience, and those who are interested in food security, immigration, social justice and

helping make life better for others. “At one class, someone asked me, ‘me da una hamburguesa, por favor?’ (can I have a hamburger, please?) Later, he texted me and said he had asked in English and they had understood him. He was so excited,” said Cohen. Even something as simple as knowing how to introduce themselves in English and do shopping and banking can make a big difference to the workers. “When someone tells me that when they go home and their family asks them what Canada is like and they have to say they don’t know, to me, that is sad,” said Hahn. “They can come here for as long as 10 years but I am surprised at how limited their social capital is with no family and friends and no one to ask when they need help. We see Latin American farm workers as being really integral to our community but few people know that they are here and how important they are. They should be recognized, appreciated and welcomed.” Cohen said most workers want to feel a part of the community but often don’t know how, as they are limited by language and transportation. “They need to have access to a network of people who are knowledgeable about the community and to do that, we need more volunteers. We hope we will be able to provide more opportunities like going to the beach, community entertainment, maybe a community barbecue and soccer game. Some of the workers have family members in the area but don’t get to see them because of lack of transportation,” she said.

Life

Helpsomeone someone Help YOU know YOU know

It begins with a ball

he way I see it the greatest toy ever invented is the ball. All ages can enjoy playing with a ball, babies start out with small, squishy ones they can hold in their tiny hands, roll sometimes, even bite and older folks hit the little white ball off the tee. The first toy and the last toy some may play with. There are so many games for you to enjoy with a ball — baseball, volleyball, basMichele Blais ketball, soccer, tennis, lacrosse, bowling, billiards, cricket, polo, golf, street hockey, to name a few. The tennis ball has multiple uses beyond the game of tennis, often favoured by our fourlegged friends, our faithful companion the dog, for a game of catch. Once on a back-pack camping trip the only toy the boys brought were tennis balls and they played a variety of catch games. Plus throwing the tennis ball against a tree aiming for a certain branch gave you multiple points, distance throwing, and juggling. They were light, easy to pack and provided a great deal of enjoyment. Like people the ball comes in many shapes and sizes — small, medium, large — and then there is the football. Balls connect us, are unbiased and forgiving.

The Way I see IT

They can also be used in our healing, soft rubber balls to strengthen our grips, exercise balls for balance. “Play ball” can garner up a whole image of a baseball stadium, a warm summer day, blue skies, young children chewing gum, kicking dirt, waiting for their moment to run, hit, catch, out-strategize the other team for the glorious win of the day. Then there are the other stadiums like the one in Toronto I love to visit where millions of dollars are invested in playing baseball. How lucky those men are to get to play a game with a ball and make a great living at it. I hope the thrill is still there for them whether in the stadium or on the court, as it was when they were children. Fans champion these teams, identify with them as “their team,” part of their community whether in their place of residence or not. “I am a Blue Jays fan,” no a “Mariners fan.” Playing with a ball on a team we can learn about cooperation, roles, compromise, working together, skill development, enhance physical strength and enjoy camaraderie of our mates. Balls are universally appealing. Children may not speak the same language but bring a group together and throw a soccer ball down and a game will begin. Balls roll, the children move, the game is on. Having fun, moving, cheering, using their foot skills, coordination, and joy. No matter where we go in the world we are likely to see children and adults playing with balls. This summer

the lake shore will be busy with colourful beach balls used like volleyballs and soccer balls, easily inflated to bring plenty of play time. In the early days before Columbus brought rubber back to Europe and the Spaniards started making rubber balls, not the inflatable but the solid ones, balls could be made from animal skins and stuffed with various materials. Sometimes I have seen children stuffing socks in order to make a ball for a game. As a mom of busy boys we had a basket of balls of every shape and size at our house for easy entertainment and to get the lads outside, and moving. Balls go back in history to the time of Homer, to the Egyptians having some form of ball play displayed on their monuments, and to the ancient Greeks who had games of catch and an early form of the game of football. Playing catch has become one of my oldest son’s favourite ways to visit with his friends. He started playing catch with a good friend when they were in high school and now they always get out the ball and gloves when they see each other. When I visited him last year in Toronto we played catch in the park. I found through this simple act of throwing a ball, catching, stretching, conversation flowed easily or we enjoyed the quiet of the moments together. May you find some time to enjoy the spheres in your world.

Vernon band is about to get its close-up Paperboy and videographer Lee Watkins get Public Records/Telus grant to film new video Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

A Vernon band and videographer are among emerging artists from across B.C. and Alberta who are about to get some incentive for their creativity. Local band Paperboy and photographer/ videographer Lee Watkins have just been awarded a grant to film a music video through the Public Records’ Summer 2013 Music Fund Initiative, supported by Telus. Paperboy was among 1,000 artists who applied for the grant, worth up to $5,000, and members are using the money to film the video for new single El Scorpiones, to be produced by Watkins. Described as a pounding Latin-esque story of love and heartache, the song is the title track off Paperboy’s upcoming sophomore recording, expected for release in the fall. “We were a little apprehensive submitting for a music video grant. So far we have no visual presence as a band, which we thought would be a huge detriment to us. However, we were tickled pink when they announced that we’d won the prize,” said Luke Mortenson, Paperboy’s guitarist/lead vocalist, who joins Braeden Otter on bass, and Cameron Lutz on drums/percussion in the band. Mortenson is also looking forward to working with local videographer/photographer Watkins, whom he describes as a major talent.

Vernon band Paperboy, Braeden otter (left), Luke mortenson and Cameron Lutz, have just received a grant to record a video for the first and title single off their upcoming album, El Scorpiones, to be produced by Vernon’s Lee Watkins. “Lee’s aesthetics are so unique. He has really developed what I believe to be his own kind of voice on the screen. I think all of us in the band are excited to be able to introduce ourselves visually to the world on something more than a shoe-string budget.” Watkins and the band are about to start filming the video for El Scorpiones in time for Public Records’ Aug. 7 deadline. The video will then be judged amongst other bands that received the grant.

“If we take the top tier of the cake, Telus will premiere our video on their Optik Telus channel,” said Mortenson. “As kids who grew up on MuchMusic’s videos, we’re so blessed to be able to contribute back to that pool of ideas and really just have some fun doing it.” Mortenson, Otter and Lutz have been making music together as Paperboy for the past three years and have performed primarily in Vernon and Kelowna. The band is playing this weekend as part

of Kelowna’s Keloha Music Festival’s after party, and is about to join the lineup at the 13th Floor Block Party at Polson Park’s skate park next Saturday. “I think we are finally getting the hang of it. At the end of the day all we ever really want to do is make music that is fun for us to play,” said Mortenson, who cites early rock recordings as a big influences. “We draw on so many different musical wells — Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Ocean, Hank Williams — it all ends up in there somewhere.” In the latter stages of recording their album, which Mortenson says has been an interesting and introspective process, simplicity seems to be the thing Paperboy keeps coming back to. “The idea is that maybe holding back is more attractive than stacking layer after layer of guitar tracks or vocals,” he said. “Live off the floor, you can almost hear Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard sweating at the piano. On the other side of the coin, we’ve really wanted to do some good with our music as well.” That said, Paperboy is currently offering El Scorpiones for download by donation on the band’s Bandcamp site (paperboyband.bandcamp.com). Part of the sales from the single will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. “Cancer is a huge part of our culture and seems to be pervasive in everyone’s life to some degree. We just played the Relay for Life and to see how a community comes together and supports each other is inspiring,” said Mortenson. For more information on Paperboy, visit the band’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/extraextrapaperboy. More info on the Public Records grant is available at publicrecords.org.

Sutton realtors offer free movies under the stars

Morning Star Staff

A giant inflatable screen is about to be set up in the Polson Park oval this summer as Sutton Group Lakefront Realty gets ready to screen four free and familyfriendly films under the stars. All movies run on a Friday evening starting at sunset, but there will be various activities going on prior to the start of each show, said Sutton owner/broker Tamara Cinnamon, who with fellow Sutton realtors are offering the free films

as a way to give back to the community. “We understand that the North Okanagan is an expensive place to live, and we wanted to give families several free nights out in a great setting,” said Cinnamon. “This community gives us so much and we gain serious joy in giving back.” Everyone is welcome to pack a picnic basket, or pick up a snack from the Habitat for Humanity concession that will be on site. Blankets and lawn chairs are

also encouraged. The first screening takes place July 12 at sunset, approx. 9:15 p.m. It features the animated film, Despicable Me, featuring Steve Carrell as the voice of criminal mastermind Gru, who uses a trio of orphaned girls as pawns for a grander scheme, but finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better. July 26 at 9 p.m is the Disney animated classic, Lady and the Tramp.

It follows a lovingly pampered cocker spaniel who falls for a freewheeling mutt with a heart of gold and a love for Italian food and adventure. Nostalgia will also be on hand when George Lucas’ pre-Star Wars, coming-of-age film American Graffiti is shown Aug. 9 at 8:35 p.m. The film, about high school graduates who spend an evening cruising the strip and having as much fun as possible before they head to college, features a star-

laden cast including Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, and Richard Dreyfus. The final film, Aug. 23 at 8:15 p.m., is the avian-themed animated film Rio. It follows a domesticated macaw (Jesse Eisenberg) from small-town Minnesota who takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro and encounters the bird of his dreams (Anne Hathaway) and a few other feathered friends and one very nasty cockatiel.

Ballet Kelowna moves forward For The Morning Star

Ballet Kelowna has announced that its 2013-14 season will open with The Nutcracker in Kelowna on Dec. 6, 7 and 8, 2013, followed by a B.C. tour of a dozen communities. The professional ballet company’s season will close with performances in Kelowna in April 2014. This 19-week season allows the troupe valuable time to continue building a sustainable future. The new board of directors of the Kelowna Ballet Society are Deborah Ward, Joan Wilson, Carley Bailey, Lori Larson, Daniel Spelliscy and James Stewart, all active members of the arts community. The directors are focusing on strategic planning, which includes, among other things, a major fundraising campaign to keep Ballet Kelowna as a vital member of Kelowna’s cultural plan. The 2013-14 season will honour the legacy of Ballet Kelowna’s founding artistic director, David LaHay, Must get tickets to the show I read about in Live Wire!

who will retire at the end of the season. In its search for a new artistic director, Ballet Kelowna will seek to complement the exceptional work that has been created by LaHay during the past 10 years. Moving forward has been made possible by the overwhelming response of the public. The support of the membership of Ballet Kelowna has now tripled with the support of the City of Kelowna and other government agencies as well as the success of the benefit gala Dancing with Friends and the recent Flower Power: Cool Digs & Groovy Gardens fundraiser. Members of the community have also stepped forward with fiveyear pledges to the Future Fund. For information about the company, visit Ballet Kelowna’s website www.BalletKelowna.ca.

The Legendary Lake Monsters is the next band to take the Civic Sounds stage for the free concerts in front of the Vernon museum and old library Thursday.

Civic Sounds returns

Morning Star Staff

Bands are starting to warm up downtown Vernon as Civic Sounds returns for summer. Free concerts are being offered to the public every Thursday night from 7 to 9 p.m. The concerts take place on the grounds of the Civic Plaza, located in front of the Vernon museum and the former library building. “These free concerts have been offered in downtown Vernon for 11 years and this year will be no exception,” said Lara Konkin, marketing and events coordinator with the Downtown Vernon Association, and organizer of the event. The rockin’ country sounds of the The Shawn Lightfoot Band kicked off Civic Sounds, and will be followed by the 11-piece R&B band The Legendary Lake Monsters this coming Thursday. Other scheduled artists in July include poprock band The Mumble Bees July 18 and country-rock artists Cheaper than a Porsche July 25. The August lineup consists of The Young’uns, who have performed at Civic Sounds for the past 10 years, Aug. 1, jazzblues artists Kath and the TomKats Aug. 8, classic rock band The Goods Aug. 15, and the Celtic-Maritime sounds of Cod Gone Wild Aug. 22. Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio will provide dance lessons and entertainment during intermission for all concerts. “The DVA encour-

ages people of all ages to set up a lawn chair or lay out a blanket, have a picnic and enjoy the show,” said Konkin. “Many of the downtown restaurants have to-go menus and would be happy to provide a meal for you, your family and your friends while you are listening to the entertainment at Civic Sounds. “We all need to remember summer is

no picnic for the food bank. Please donate a non-perishable food item in support of the Salvation Army. Cash donations are also welcome.” Washroom facilities are also available during the concerts. Civic Sounds is sponsored by BC Hydro, 107.5 Kiss FM, the City of Vernon and the Downtown Vernon Association.

Capsule Comments with

TOM NOLAN The SPF number on sunscreens is a measure of how much UVB (sunburn-causing) radiation it blocks. Theoretically, a lotion with an SPF of 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays. An SPF of 30 blocks about 97%. If you have fair skin and burn quite easily, that extra 4% will provide extra protection. However, the important point about sunscreens is to reapply after swimming or if you sweat a lot. Weight gain is one of the reasons people hesitate to stop smoking. However, the benefits of better heart health far outweigh the gaining of 5 to 10 pounds. Stopping smoking also lowers risk of diabetes. So if you are thinking of breaking the tobacco habit, don’t worry about gaining a bit of weight. You will be healthier in the long term. One good habit to get into during summer’s hot days is to drink water rather than sweetened soft drinks. One can of non-diet soft drink can contain sweetening products equal to up to 8 of those packets of sugar you find on restaurant tables. Water is a better choice to quench that summer thirst. The Heart and Stroke Foundation has a way to see how bad habits will affect the number of good years you have left. The lost in quality years of various bad habits were: Physical inactivity = 4 years; poor diet = 3 years; excessive stress = 2 years; smoking = 2.5 years and excessive drinking = 2 years. It makes you think! Knowledge, approachable, dependable … our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription.

white House Down

e brought us an alien invasion in Independence Day, destroyed much of the Earth by-the-way of climate disasters in the Day After Tomorrow and last year, tried to destroy the entire Earth in 2012. This summer, director Roland Emmerich sets his destructive sights on something a little more abstract and yet localized, the United States government. White House Down pits a would-be secret service agent, (Channing Tatum) against a team of domestic terrorists as they attempt to usurp the power of the

Centropolis entertainment.

Channing Tatum leads the President of the United States (Jamie Foxx) out of the fray in White House Down. president (Jamie Foxx,) in order to keep the American war machine running. We say, “It’s corporate conspiracy, patriotism and kicking butt, by the numbers.” HOWE: If you want an action movie, White House Down will tick off all the boxes, well almost. It’s jammed packed with big explosions, lots of shooting, some comedy and a car chase, even though it is set on the White House grounds. The only drawback I could find is a lack of fantastic acting performances. It looks like we have found our new action hero in Tatum. Hopefully now Mr. Willis will pass on the baton and stop making more Die Hards. TAYLOR: White House Down is a film that follows the Emmerich formula fairly closely, but I was

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

quite surprised that the film takes place in one building, more or less. Usually Emmerich films are gigantic, overthe-top, special effects bonanzas. Perhaps with WHD he wanted to prove he could make a “regular movie.” Unfortunately, he can’t. This movie is just as ridiculous as all his other movies, but without the fun. There are still things I liked about this movie, but having to sit through the checklist of cliched characters performing telegraphed action outweighed my enjoyment. I couldn’t

wait for it to be over. HOWE: You mean you didn’t like the patriotic act at the end, or the cheesy “Oops, I’ve dropped my rocket launcher,” line or the tiny tough guy with the Hulk Hogan ‘stash? For some reason when you roll it all together it was pretty enjoyable, even though it was bad. TAYLOR: There were people in the audience, munchin’ down those cheesy morsels, but I stand by my conviction that cheese is best served with a side order of gimmick. For instance, I watched the horrible movie 2012 at least three times because I wanted to see Los Angeles fall into the sea again, I wanted to see Woody Harrelson acting crazy again. I make a point of watching Independence Day every so often for

similar reasons. Yet, I can’t imagine ever wanting to see White House Down again. It’s a shame really, because I think it’s a cool idea: Domestic terrorists taking over government that is attempting to sell a peace plan, because the military industrial complex doesn’t want to lose money. It’s just executed so poorly that it’s farcical. I nearly laughed several times at earnest attempts to tug nationalistic heart strings. My eyes strained from rolling them. When the chase scene around the White House lawn was in full swing, I seriously considered taking a nap. Still, it’s way better than the last Die Hard. Taylor gives White House Down 2 presidential Nicorette’s out of 5. Howe gives it 3.5 Jordans out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Lumby's Charles Bloom secondary school's forestry and trades program includes running and working a woodlot on Trinity Valley road.

Woodlot serves as forest classroom sara grady For The Morning Star

There are 867 active woodlot licenses in B.C., and they provide much more than timber. Many play host to students of all ages, from elementary school to university, exploring environmental sciences, with topics ranging from a very general introduction to the forest, to specifics such as silviculture and natural resource management. With the average age of B.C.’s forestry workers creeping into the 60s, and an expected boom in the sector that will see the creation of 15,000 new jobs in the next decade, it’s vital that steps are taken to engage the next generation of forest stewards. At a woodlot in Lumby, students are given a completely unique, hands-on education in a 600-hectare classroom, and acquire skills they can use immediately, in forestry, heavy industry, or as a path to further education. Arguably one of the most picturesque forests in B.C., Woodlot #1908 on Trinity Valley Road – just a brief drive out of town – is a working venture run by the staff and students of Charles Bloom Secondary School. Faculty at the high school has teamed up with a professional forester and career logger to deliver an innovative and practical learning experience. The CBSS forestry and trades program has been running since the 1970s, using small-cut licences year-to-year until getting permanent roots in 2002 with the acquisition of Crown woodlot #1908. Grade 11 and 12 students from five high schools in the Vernon School District vie for 16 spots in the trades program, which runs from September to January every year. Students spend three days a week in the woodlot, learn-

ing worksite safety procedures, chainsaw and heavy-duty equipment operation and maintenance, and team skills. And by learning, I mean doing. Students have opportunities to get behind the wheel of skidders and cats, fall and buck trees, conduct site cleanup – basically every function required for a working logger. The remaining two days are spent in the school’s wellequipped shop learning WCB safety procedures, furniturebuilding skills, techniques and design. The expansive workspace houses some creative projects, including an oversized picnic table made of beams bigger than railroad ties, and a little log cabin that could be a charming playhouse for some very happy child. With a high premium on safety, all students are taught St. John First Aid before heading into the bush. This training, coupled with their real-life experience handling chainsaws, cats and skidders, means their resumes pack a punch when they graduate. And the students know it. Making a good impression on the dedicated teachers and industry professionals who run the program results in rocksolid references that give these young people an edge in a competitive workforce. Applying for an apprenticeship, or a spot in a post-secondary trades or university program is that much easier when applicants can prove they have already built a strong foundation in the forest. In fact, several of the students graduating in 2013 already have an apprenticeship or employment plan set for the summer and beyond. When questioned about their future, they speak about plan A and plan B, sometimes even a plan C, and they’re all viable plans: the program has opened multiple doors to employers in other sectors of the natural resource and manufacturing industry. One 15-year-old predicts she’ll be the first female loader

driver in the Okanagan when she takes over that job at her father’s logging operation this summer. Typical of most woodlots in B.C., this one enjoys a strong relationship with community stakeholders. The local Stihl dealer makes regular contributions, and heavy equipment is either donated or sold at bargain-basement prices to keep the program equipped. The students sell firewood to locals, using the funds to pay for their gear – in a classic case of input and output, the more firewood the individual students buck and sell, the more money they have to finance their kit. Initiative pays. Literally. Community involvement is vital to the success of the program, and to the health of the forest. As Charles Bloom principal Ken Gatzke, a graduate of the trades program himself, says, they try to keep the woodlot as accessible as possible. Students built a beautiful timber-framed gazebo one year, situated in an area that affords a sweeping view of Trinity Valley. The gazebo is open for use by the public as a spot for meetings, retreats, picnics and reunions. A local hang-gliding company uses the woodlot as a launch site, as well, and a local rancher uses the forest as range land for his cattle. At the school level, the senior students aren’t the only ones who have an opportunity to participate in the operation. The Grade 7 students are brought to the woodlot to plant trees, getting an opportunity over the following years to watch the progress of the forest and see the fruits of their labour over their years at the high school. Gatzke bursts with pride when talking about the program. “This woodlot classroom is an innovative use of a Crown resource, giving kids real-life skills today that they can use far into the future,” he said.

Police continue to witness dangerous and aggressive driving. RCMP conducted enforcement on Westside Road June 30, targeting high speeds and aggressive driving. Two motorcycles were observed speeding excessively — the highest at 163 kilometres per hour in a 70-kilometre-an-hour zone. Both motorcycles were impounded for seven days and the drivers were fined under the Motor Vehicle Act. Another man was stopped for passing illegally and found to be driving while prohibited. His vehicle was impounded and he was released roadside with a future court date.

Looking to tap into some new markets, Sparkling Hill Resort has expanded its sales staff. Wendy Patriquin, Sparkling Hill marketing and sales manager, has been busy rebuilding her team. “It was important to me to seek out individuals who were proven in their skills and who I knew could take advantage of the ever changing world of social media,” said Patriquin. Heading a list of three recruits is Robin Baycroft, former resort services manager of Silver Star Mountain Resort. He will be joining the team with a similar focus at Sparkling Hill. “I’m excited to be making a change and broadening my range of skills,” said Baycroft. “Sparkling Hill is such a unique experience and the focus on health and wellness is not completely understood by a lot of people. Education and making sure we are talking to the right kind of customer will help take Sparkling Hill to the next level. “Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Seattle are full of people that need some time to relax and unwind. These are all markets we will be focusing on.” Also joining the Sparkling Hill team is Trish Baldwin, who was most recently marketing and specialty leasing manager at the Aberdeen Mall in

Like Us On

s an owner of a corporation, you have several innovative strategies available to help you reduce, or defer, corporate income tax and enhance your income in retirement. Individual Pension Plan (IPP) – An IPP is an employer-sponsored registered pension plan that enables you to make potentially higher tax-deductible contributions compared to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RSP). Your corporation claims the tax deductions, as opposed to an RSP, where you claim them personally. You can also make tax-deductible contributions for past service, or to top up your IPP. IPPs are ideal for selfemployed incorporated business owners or professionals aged 40 to 71 who earn at least $127,611 annually. Unlike a regular pension plan, an IPP is usually established for just one person, although a spouse employed by the same Kirbey Lockhart company can also be a plan member in some cases. While offering several key advantages, there are some considerations with an IPP. First, it essentially replaces your RSP, rather than supplementing it. There are also additional administrative requirements, including an actuarial valuation every three years. Retirement compensation arrangement (RCA) – Often referred to as the super-sized pension, an RCA is a non-registered plan set up by your company to provide benefits when you retire. An RCA is designed to reduce the pension gap that high-income executives and business owners face due to contribution caps on regular registered retirement plans. Because of these caps, highincome earners are often unable to contribute enough to ensure they receive an adequate retirement income, considered by many financial planners to be 70 per cent of pre-retirement income. An RCA can help you overcome this shortfall. With an RCA, your company makes 100 per cent tax-deductible contributions, and you don’t pay

2901 - 27th St., Vernon, BC 250-549-2041

personal taxes until you start receiving payments from the RCA after you retire. The RCA payments, combined with payments from your registered plans, should be reasonable – essentially what you would have received if your registered plan contributions hadn’t been capped. Corporate Insured Retirement Plan (IRP) – A corporate IRP is a strategy that combines insurance protection with tax-deferred investment growth. As you normally would, you pay premiums for insurance coverage, which can be used, for example, to cover the loss of a key employee or to fund a buy-sell agreement between business partners. However, in addition to paying the premiums, you can also contribute additional funds, which can grow on a tax-deferred basis within the insurance policy, similar to an RSP. After a certain number of years, you can access these funds by taking out a tax-free bank loan, using the insurance policy as collateral. The funds can be used in any way you need – to supplement your retirement income, buy out a business partner, or fund a new business venture. When the shareholder passes away, the bank loan is then repaid with the life insurance benefit, with the remainder going to the beneficiaries. Corporate insured annuity – A corporate insured annuity can enhance your retirement income, while ensuring that you can still leave a substantial estate for your beneficiaries. It is ideal for shareholders of corporations with surplus cash held in liquid investments such as GICs. Using the surplus cash, the corporation purchases a life annuity to supplement the shareholder’s retirement income, plus a life insurance policy on the shareholder’s life. When the shareholder passes away, the company receives a taxfree death benefit equal to the amount used to purchase the annuity, which enhances the shareholder’s estate value. Bear in mind that this strategy, while potentially enhancing your income and estate value, does involve a long-term financial commitment.
