Venture scrambling for site RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A group that supports the developmentally disabled is scrambling after a land deal collapsed. The Vernon and District Association for Community Living has learned the Vernon School District will no longer sell the Dorothy Alexander Centre, which is part of the West Vernon school site. “It really was a surprise,” said Eileen Howells, Eileen Howells VDACL executive director. “We thought we had an agreement and out of the blue it’s all gone.” VDACL and the school district reached an agreement in 2009 over the 8,500-square-foot building and the

Ministry of Education approved selling the property to VDACL in 2010. School district officials, however, insist they have been open with VDACL about needing the Dorothy Alexander Centre for the alternate learning program, which assists teens and adults. “We have told them for the last couple of years that we needed space and we weren’t going to renew their lease,” said Bev Rundell, superintendent. VDACL, also known as Venture Training, has leased the building since 1961 and once purchased, the plan was to expand the programs available. “It made sense because of the programs we have in close vicinity there,” said Howells, adding that the focus was going to be on fitness and theatre. “Our goal is all about inclusion in the community. We wanted an art studio there so we could bring people in so our clients could have opportunities.” VDACL has three months to move

existing programs out of the centre. “We need to do plan B but we’re not sure what buildings in the community are out there,” said Howells. Rundell says the district considered other options for alternate learning but the Dorothy Alexander Centre made the most sense. “To build a space or find a space to lease, we don’t have the financial resources to do that,” she said. “We have to do what is best for our students.” Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, had helped convince the Ministry of Education to approve the purchase to VDACL. He was unaware of the district’s decision until he was contacted by The Morning Star. “My understanding was the process (purchase) was moving along. This is new to me,” he said, adding that he will pursue further information from the school district.
A politician may hire security guards because he claims the RCMP is ignoring residents’ concerns. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is investigating the cost of private security because of ongoing problems with parties, fires, illegal dumping and unlicensed vehicles at the end of Hartnell Road. “We’ve asked the RCMP for increased patrols and they are reluctant to do that,” said Macnabb. “I’m totally frustrated. Local folks have taken photos and been threatened (by offenders) so what’s the next step? The RCMP are unwilling to do it.” Macnabb says he has been left with no choice but to consider financing security. Mike Macnabb “I can’t afford to do it on a regular basis but it would show that we care. Residents are beside themselves,” he said. The most significant concern among residents is parties on adjacent Crown land and bonfires, which could spread during dry conditions. “If there was a fire lower down, the people up top could be trapped,” said Macnabb, adding that there is only one road out of the area. In June, BX-Swan Lake firefighters responded to a fire and a firefighter was struck by a vehicle fleeing the scene. Other complaints from residents revolve around illegal dumping of waste, including animal carcasses, mudbogging and unlicensed vehicles roaring along the road. “This isn’t a new problem. The RCMP have known about this for some time,” said Macnabb. Beyond the RCMP, Macnabb has been lobbying the provincial government to take action on Crown land but he says no department wants to take responsibility. Macnabb is also pushing the Regional District of North Okanagan to get involved because it has rights-of-way across private property leading to Crown land. “We have an obligation to keep up easements but we have dropped the ball. If we are obligated to do something, we could put up a gate to restrict access,” he said. Vernon RCMP officials are defending their actions on Hartnell Road. “We have done road checks and recorded a number of incidents,” said Supt. Reg Burgess, the officer in charge of the detachment. “We continue to respond to calls there. The big thing is we need to be alerted by residents about incidents when they are occurring.” Burgess admits that while Hartnell Road is a priority, the detachment faces similar pressures throughout the community. “We can’t afford to place officers up there in one area. We only have so many resources,” he said.

Region looks to Clark for higher profile richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Premier Christy Clark could be kept busy as MLA as residents turn to her for help. Clark and the Liberals dominated Wednesday’s Westside-Kelowna byelection, capturing 62 per cent of the vote. Now that she has a seat, there are expectations that Clark will deliver for the Okanagan. “It certainly can’t hurt us,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, when asked if having the premier next door will benefit the region with major issues. “She will be around and half-an-hour away and I look forward to seeing more of her.” Jim Edgson, director for North Westside, which is in Westside-Kelowna, is confident that an already established relationship with the premier will grow now that she is MLA. “The premier is aware of the issues here,” he said. “I feel extremely comfortable that the priorities of the North Westside will come forward.” Topping the list is the need for senior government grants to upgrade the Killiney Beach and Westshore Estate water systems. “It’s the biggest issue we have,” said Edgson, adding that grants are needed because of the area’s small tax base. The other ongoing issue is improvements to Westside Road, which is narrow and windy and was recently voted by BCAA members as the worst road in the province. On Thursday, Clark announced $1 million
for paving along five kilometres of Westside Road from Jenny Creek to Caesar’s Landing. The work will begin in late July. “Westside Road serves a number of the Okanagan’s most popular resorts and campgrounds, as well as over a thousand residents,” said Clark. “It’s not acceptable to have it named B.C.’s worst road. Clark received 10,666 votes or 62.70 per cent during the byelection while it was 5,045 votes or 29.66 per cent for the NDP’s Carole Gordon. The other results were: Conservative Sean Upshaw at 989 votes, independent Dayleen Van Ryswyk at 129, independent John Marks at 71, B.C. Vision’s Jag Bhandari at 43, independent Silverado Socrates at 43 and independent Korry Zepik at 26 votes. “It was a very strong showing,” said Foster of Clark. “The people were obviously supportive of the party but especially of the premier.” The byelection became necessary after Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart stepped aside to free up a seat for Clark, who led the Liberals to another term as government in May’s provincial election but lost her Vancouver constituency. “We can now get down to the business of governing. She needs to be in the Legislature,” said Foster. alistair waters/Black Press Final voting results will be confirmed by Christy Clark delivers her victory speech after wining the Westside-Kelowna byelection Elections B.C.

Rodeo Extreme rides into Kal Tire Place richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There will be some ridin’ and ropin’ at Kal Tire Place. The inaugural Rodeo Extreme runs July 26 and 27 and it will feature bareback, saddle bronc, bull riding and barrel racing. “Everyone is really excited about it,” said Stan Mitchell, Kal Tire Place manager. And given the North Okanagan’s tradition of rodeo and ranching, large crowds are anticipated. “We are very optimistic,” said Mitchell. Rodeo Extreme is presented by Calgary-based Trophy Tournaments and The Morning Star is a sponsor. “Each night, 10 rodeo athletes in each event will compete for top

Earl Call of C+ Rodeo. “This is really going to be something, and a great start for future years in Vernon,” said Roy Call. Announcing will be done by Joanie and Al Parsons, while the rodeo clown will be Josh Sheppard. Mitchell and his staff have attempted to diversify Kal Tire Place’s book-
ings and he believes Rodeo Extreme shows the flexibility of the facility. However, a rodeo brings some special requirements including removing some of the boards, applying three to five inches of dirt on the surface and installing corrals for the livestock. Because this will be the first rodeo ever held at Kal Tire Place, Mitchell admits his staff have a learning curve ahead of them. “We have given ourselves two days to set up because we haven’t done this before,” he said. Tickets can be purchased at http:// www.ticketseller.ca or at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre ticket office.

Andy Bhatti is on a journey to ensure fewer kids end up like he did. Bhatti, a Langley resident, was sexually abused as a boy but there were no support centres at the time to help him. Plus, he never talked about his traumatic experiences, until he faced the man who abused him on trial. Not having anyone to talk to or help him, Bhatti started down a troubled life of drugs, violence and incarceration. “If I would’ve got help maybe I wouldn’t have spent eight years in jail, maybe I wouldn’t have been a heroin addict,” said Bhatti, now 35, clean of drugs and a father. “If kids from zero to 18 don’t get help then they could end up like I was.” Along with sharing his story, Bhatti is embarking on a 525-kilometre bike ride from Vernon to Vancouver. The Men of Hope Ride for a Reason starts Monday and is in support of Sophie’s Place (Child Development Foundation of B.C.) – providing specialized services to physically, mentally or sexually abused children. Bhatti is cycling despite the fact that he hasn’t ridden a bike in years. “I have when I was a kid but never like this.” Stopping in cities along the way, Bhatti will be sharing his story and raising public awareness. “I can’t get any awareness if I don’t tell the truth.” Bhatti will start from Save On Foods in Vernon, making stops at the grocery chain in Kelowna, Penticton, Princeton, Manning Park, Chilliwack, Hope, Aldergrove, Langley, Surrey, New Westminster, Burnaby and ending at the Sheraton Wall Centre. “Most people can do it in two or three days, I’m doing it in six to raise public awareness.” Part of the reason his journey starts in Vernon is that is where the man who sexually assaulted Bhatti was living when he was arrested and later convicted. It’s a past Bhatti doesn’t like to remember, but it’s a cause he is determined to be an advocate for. Bhatti has organized fundraisers along his ride, including one at Sir Winston’s Pub in Vernon today at 6:30 p.m. The event will feature a 50/50 draw, and sports memorabilia, including signed hockey jerseys by current and former Canucks Ryan Kesler, Pavel Buré and Trevor Linden.

Woodlot available Morning Star Staff
The provincial government is offering a new woodlot licence near Lumby. The woodlot includes 1,138 hectares near Mabel Lake, with an allowable annual cut of 3,600 cubic metres. “Expanding the woodlot licence program is good for smaller communities like Lumby and will provide local employment opportunities,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. Applications must be received at the Ministry of Forests’ Kamloops office by Aug. 21. “Woodlots create employment, support local forestry businesses and mills, and promote enhanced silviculture and stewardship of our forests,” said Steve Thomson, forests minister.

Just off Highway 97 at the Vernon Army Camp is a small, reddish brown, nondescript wooden building anyone driving along the highway could easily overlook. But it has a long history. During the Second World War, it was the military post office serving the thousands of soldiers who trained in Vernon. In the 1970s, it became a guard house and the offices of the military police. Today, the building will open its doors to tell the story of not only 63 years of the history of the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre, but also of the military history of Vernon that stretches back more than 100 years. “Showcasing the camp’s history is something we wanted to do for years. It’s a natural satellite museum,” said Ron Candy, Greater Vernon Museum curator. Former cadet Francois Arseneault, who became a collector of camp memorabilia, wondered if it “wouldn’t be a great idea if we built a museum.” With a limited budget, the two men, along with staff from the museum and archives, set out to create the displays. Panels display photographs and historic details from each of the 63 years the camp has been in operation. “We relied on newspaper accounts, interviews, personal stories and photographs to recreate the feel of each year,” Arseneault said.

Another displays copies of documents from the war years. “Vernon has a long military history and the presence of the camp has had a direct effect on the city, socially and economically,” said Candy. “There were times when the population of the camp was greater than that of the city.” Many of the items, especially the photographs, have never been displayed before. More than 800 photographs are included in the display panels. We’ll be booking escorted tours, as we
do with the murals in downtown Vernon and
the ghost tours in the fall,” said Candy.

Not a happy camper
W
hen my brother was eight years old, he went off to summer camp. In a letter home, he sent a glowing report to our parents of the fun he was having. Flip over to the second page, however, and he came clean: “Actually, I don’t really like it here.” The letter is part of the family collection that always makes us chuckle; and we still have the lanyard he crafted by hand. But, undeterred, I decided I wanted to go to summer camp as well. I started small: attending weekend camps with Brownies and then something called Camporee when I was in Guides. I loved the fun of sleeping in a tent, cooking over a campfire, singing songs Katherine Mortimer that I still can’t get out of my head and discovering the wonder, the joy and the sheer bliss that is the s’more. It was all preparation for the real deal when at 13, I decided I wanted the full-on summer camp experience: two weeks of fun in the sun, with canoes, campfires, and telling ghost stories. My sister, who was 10 1/2, and I attended an information session with two friends who had attended the previous summer and we were completely sold on the camp, located on an island on the coast, which will remain anonymous. We begged our parents to let us go and they happily agreed. Apparently the thought of having the house to themselves for two weeks was very appealing (at 18, our brother was already out of the house). On the bus ride to the ferry, there was much merriment and singing of songs. Once we arrived at camp, we were assigned our cabins, by age group. On the first day, we went to the lake for a swimming test to determine if we were capable of making it to the dock. My swimming skills were adequate — I had taken lessons for years so wasn’t

about to drown — but the reeds that brushed past my feet and legs during the test sent me into a panic. It did not bode well for the next two weeks. On the second day, the smell of freshly-baked bread wafted throughout the camp. Sitting down to dinner that night, anticipating that first slice of warm, home-baked bread, we were more than a little disappointed to be served a couple of salads, no bread in sight. On the third day, it was time for an overnight canoe trip. My best friend and I shared a canoe, having never set foot in one before. We set off on the Pacific Ocean and for about four hours appeared to be stuck in a current. When we finally arrived at our camping spot, we could barely stand up, as we had been kneeling the whole time. We ate dinner around the campfire. Exhausted, we would have eaten anything vaguely resembling food, even burnt, covered in bugs and dirt. However, we were rewarded the next day when we arrived, by canoe, at the island’s small town and were treated to ice cream cones and ice-cold bottles of cream soda: the finest meal I’d ever had. That was the highlight of camp. The food got progressively worse as the week went on. The counsellors weren’t exactly warm, welcoming and enthusiastic. And there really wasn’t that much to do, unless you count the various chores we had to do: kitchen duty, helping to build staircases to the cabins. The point is when my parents picked us up at the end of two weeks, and asked us how it was, we were less-than-enthusiastic. We wanted to love it. I thought it would be that summer camp you see in movies. It wasn’t. There are no doubt countless wonderful summer camps out there. Ours wasn’t one of them. In fact, it got worse day by day. Thousands of kids have had better summers because of their camp experience. For me, though, we lived minutes from the ocean, there was always plenty of great food in the house and I didn’t have to share a room with anyone. And I happened to enjoy spending time with my parents. By staying home, I had the kind of idyllic summers that people write home about.
The frustration among Hartnell Road residents is obvious. The BX neighbourhood continues to endure an array of problems, including late-night parties, illegal dumping and reckless driving. On top of this, there is always the fear that a bonfire could get out of control and threaten them and their homes. Adding to the frustration is the perception that authorities aren’t taking the concerns seriously. “The RCMP are unwilling to do it,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, on behalf of his constituents. It’s natural to want to assign blame but the reality is that RCMP resources are stretched. They do not have the ability to just sit and monitor specific neighbourhoods largely because there are areas throughout the North Okanagan experiencing challenges. It’s also unfair to suggest that the RCMP do not care. Officers respond when able and are dedicated to the community. Macnabb is investigating hiring private security but that isn’t really a solution as his taxpayers can’t afford that bill on a regular basis. Also, what will Macnabb do when another neighbourhood asks for similar help? That said, it’s obvious that the problems along Hartnell Road can’t be allowed to continue. It is time for all players — residents, the Regional District of North Okanagan, the RCMP, community policing, the Ministry of Forests and the Ministry of Transportation to sit down and find a long-term solution. It is only through that approach that peace can be brought to Hartnell Road.

Longboard safety essential
I
n regard to Richard Rolke's article in the June 30 Morning Star about lonboarders, I, too, am a resident of the Rise development. I have witnessed from my front courtyard some very close calls between vehicles and the longboards as the cars come up the hill to a hairpin turn and do not realize these longboarders are coming down the turn because the drivers cannot see them until the last minute as they round the turn. These are blind corners. Because I am aware that boarders may be in the area, I turn the corners slowly and came very close to coming in contact with a boarder coming down the hill at a very fast rate of speed.
increased costs I feel I must comment on the letter submitted by Barry Dorval about three weeks ago. Mr. Dorval is concerned about any future raises for himself and his fellow teachers. However, school enrolment in the Vernon area has been declining by more than 100 pupils per year for some time. Yet, our school taxes for 2013 increased by 12.2 per cent. If there are that many less pupils but higher taxes, where does all of this money go? Salaries? I live on a fixed income with no indexed pension as I am sure many others do. A lot of us do not have an indexed pension like many government employees receive. And a number of us have to pay for our own MSP and extra private health insurance on top of that to cover prescriptions, etc. Yet, it is my understanding that teachers get this paid by the taxpayers. My property tax increased by $363 from 2012 to 2013 and I feel this is outrageous. As we all know, the sports complex will increase everyone's taxes again and not just by $15 as we were led to believe, but by a much

Luckily, I was going slow and spotted him and was able to stop in time. My husband also encountered some boarders at 11 p.m. one evening when he was returning home from a function. These are dangerous situations. We at the Rise are not on a mission to wipe out longboarding, but would hope that, because of our concerns, the city does follow through with their plans to find a designated area so longboarders can pursue their activity in a safe manner. A safe area was set up for skateboards. Hopefully we will see this for the longboards. Gail Powls
higher increase. I am willing to bet right now that my taxes will increase by at least $50 for that complex. Already, I see that the archeological study for that complex has gone up by 150 per cent. It would seem that anything government touches has constant overruns. All of this scares me to no end.

yet again all the same old details of the Ashton perjury case on the front page of The Morning Star (June 30). I am sure that everyone involved in this local case has suffered enough from media curiosity about the details, and that a mere mention of the delay in reaching a verdict would have sufficed. Let's give all those involved in this case a chance to live their lives with dignity. If the delay in verdict is indeed worthy of front page coverage, it must have been a slow news week in Vernon. Enough already. Kathy smith amalGamation In his June 28 letter to the editor, Mike Tindall made reference to the 91 city employees paid more than $75,000. Another publication printed Stats Canada average weekly earnings for Canadians at $910 a week. Mr. Tindall made a strong case for amalgamation to reduce the number of $75,000 workers that those of us earning $45,000 or less are required to support. I have no issues with anyone making $75,000 or more. I would just like to see fewer of them on the public payroll.
Mr. Tindall concludes by saying, "Demand a referendum on amalgamation be included with the 2014 elections." What a great idea. How do you accomplish this and where can I sign up to help? will rogers doinG their Part After 15 years, I had to say goodbye to my old faithful dish washer. I purchased a new expensive water-saving machine. It sounded good to me. I’m all for preserving water and doing my part for the environment. The new machine is so efficient and uses so little water that most of the dishes are still dirty and have to be put back in for another go-around. And that’s after I discovered the only hope of them coming out clean is to wash them first or rinse them thoroughly. I used to put the dishes right from the table into my old machine and they came out clean every time. So much for doing my part. Then there is my new clothes washing machine that uses so little water you have to use expensive, special soap that doesn’t need water to dissolve.
It seems fine except if some poor piece of clothing gets caught up in the middle of the almost dry clothes, there is little hope it will come out clean. And there's my new water saving toilet that you have to flush twice. Kay coleman

bylaw with eight changes,” said Coun. Kelly Rowe, chairperson of the city’s finance and administration committee. Three readings of the proposed new bylaw were given at July’s only monthly regular meeting. One of the biggest changes will see the required age for licensing a dog move to six months from four months. “The local vet clinic does not spay or neuter a dog until at least six months of age,” said Rowe. “This extension of time allows a new dog owner to have their puppy spayed or neutered without having to first pay for a licence under the higher unaltered fee.” Another major change is the addition of the definition of a dangerous dog, taken directly from the Community Charter. The City of Enderby uses the same definition in its dog bylaw. According to the Community Charter a dangerous dog is one that has killed or seriously injured a person; has killed or seriously injured a domestic animal, while in a public place or while on private property, other than property owned or occupied by the person responsible for the dog; or an animal control officer has reasonable grounds to believe is likely to kill or seriously injure a person. All references to nuisance dogs will be eliminated and separate fines for violations such as dog bites, harassing a person, harassing an animal and causing property damage are being considered under a change to the city’s municipal ticketing bylaw. That change was also given three readings Monday. If passed, the owner of a dog harassing a person or animal would be fined $100. Chasing a vehicle or cyclist would result in a $50 fine, as would damage to property. A dog bite fine would be $150.

A Coquitlam company is in line to conduct a fire service review for the Armstrong Spallumcheen Fire Department. Dave Mitchell and Associates Ltd. is the preferred choice out of three bidders to conduct the review, as called for in an ArmstrongSpallumcheen joint council recommendation. The cost of the review will be $27,500 plus taxes. During the 2013 final plan process for the joint fire department, a recommendation was made for council to authorize administrative staff to prepare terms of reference for the services of a qualified professional to review and prepare an evaluation of the needs and recommendations for capital improvements to the joint fire hall. The City of Armstrong voted unanimously to support the recommendation. Township of Spallumcheen council will vote on it Monday. Dave Mitchell and Associates Ltd. offer consulting services for all aspects of fire department operations. Their client list includes fire departments and governments at the provincial, territorial, regional and municipal levels in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Homecoming 100 a hit More than 525 people gathered in Armstrong over the weekend for the Homecoming 100 event, part of the city’s centennial celebrations. “There were lots of interesting stories and lots of happy people,” said Coun. Shirley Fowler, one of Homecoming’s main organizers. Attendees had a chance to reminisce at meet-and-greets at the Hassen Arena, pancake breakfasts and a catered dinner Saturday. Tours and other community events were also organized.
“I’d like to thank all of the volunteers, and the different groups and organizations that put together functions for Homecoming,” said Fowler. “It was a true community event.” Hook and ride Two more big events are coming up as Armstrong continues its 100th birthday celebrations. The RCMP Musical Ride takes place Wednesday, July 24, at the IPE Fair Grounds. Tickets are available at the IPE office. A community concert featuring Canadian music star Shawn Hook takes place at the fair grounds Saturday, Aug. 3. “Tickets are $10 and 1,500 tickets have already been sold,” said Coun. Paul Britton of
the concert. “The vendors are in place and extra bands will be playing earlier before the main show.” According to the Armstrong100 website, concert goers are asked to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Gates will open at 4 p.m. for rush seating. This is an alcoholfree event. Concert tickets are available at the IPE office or at the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. Good Sam gathering A recent influx of RVs into the city meant a bit of a financial boon. The Good Sam Club recently held a “Samboree” in Armstrong, camping
out at the fair grounds. “By all accounts, this was one of the best Samboree’s ever in B.C., due in large part to the cooperation and assistance of you and especially the parks and rec staff,” wrote Barry and Pat Armbrust, B.C. Good Sam RV Club provincial directors in a letter to Mayor Chris Pieper. Britton explained that organizers collected receipts from Good Sam members that they had picked up from local stores and restaurants during their time in Armstrong. “They spent more than $5,200,” said Britton. “Overall, they spent $20,500 in our community. I hope they come back. We can use that kind of revenue.”

Reduced fees have created a real splash at Lumby’s swimming pool. Three discounted early bird season passes were sold last year but that has jumped to 29 single passes and 31 family passes after fees were slashed by 50 per cent. “It shows it must have been the cost keeping people away,” said Eugene Foisy, a White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee director. Previously, an early bird season pass for a family was $270 and it was $135 for an individual. Officials have pointed out that it costs the same to operate the pool no matter how many people are there given staff and equipment. The hope is that by reducing admission, more people will lead to an increase in revenue. “Our objective is to create activity and a healthy community,” said Rick Fairbairn, committee chairperson. As part of planning for the 2014 budget, the committee will consider if fees will remain at the current rate or if further

facilitate that,” said Tom Kadla, administrator. Also at the pool, it hosted 32 children as part of school district swimming lessons while there were 178 students
there as part of Charles Bloom Secondary’s physical education program. Up until June 17, there had been 552 swimmers take part in public swimming.

Lumby’s spray park may look closed, but it’s not. Families are being advised that the water attraction is motion activated and requires someone to actually enter the area for it to operate. “I have seen families who come along and don’t see water running. They turned around and went back to their cars and left,” said director Randal Ostafichuk. Rick Fairbairn The cannons and other devices aren’t running constantly because the White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee is attempting to conserve water.

The hours for the spray park are daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. until Labour Day long weekend, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends during the remainder of September. The spray park opened in early June and it is proving popular. “We have had a lot of compliments about the system,” said Rick Fairbairn, committee chairperson. Not getting as much use, though, is the adult exercise equipment also recently installed in Oval Park. “There is no cost to use the equipment so we are encouraging people to use it,” said Ostafichuk. The committee is considering contacting local seniors’ residences and non-profit agencies to provide information on how the exercise equipment functions.

Lumby band shell proposed richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Planning for a band shell in Lumby’s Oval Park continues. The White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee is working with the Wild Salmon Festival on the proposed structure. One concept includes constructing a facility that can be used year-round, even during the winter. “The more use we get out of it, the more revenue and the more successful it will be,” said director Randal Ostafichuk. The first step will be meeting with user groups to see what their specific needs are. “We want all of the wish list pulled together and then we can begin the design process,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. The Lumby Chamber of Commerce is also interested in the band shell project. New operator for Cherryville rink Community participants will continue to operate Cherryville’s outdoor skating rink in Hanson Park.
“We want the wish list pulled together.” — Tannis Nelson
The White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee supports the new Cherryville Rink Society taking over management from the Cherryville Community Club. “When the rink was built, the idea was that a new society would be formed and that has occurred now,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. The society will have the ability to apply for funding and manage the rink finances and programs. Presently, the White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee provides $7,400 annually towards the rink.

Turn-Key regroups to roll Tirecraft Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key FC returned to the North Okanagan Soccer League win column with a 5-0 victory over Peters Tirecraft/Concept Physio in Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4. After falling to the league-leading Salmon Arm Courvas last week, Turn-Key (6-4) opened the scoring early when Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Evan Moore calmly slotted home a penalty resulting from a hand ball inside the 18. Turn-Key carried the play in the beginning, but the 1-9-2 Tireman defence did a good job of limiting the shots to the outside and marking through balls. Thomas Pool finally found some room behind the Peters back line and unleashed a top-shelf rocket to make it 2-0 at the break. Turn-Key opened the second half with a flurry of uncapitalized chances before winger Taylor Horsting set up Preston Tucker for a strike inside the box. Gregg Douma converted a penalty-area scramble shortly after, and with the Tiremen down a man due to a red card with 10 minutes remaining, Conan Ackert completed the offence. Jeremy Kler and Kyle Goodgrove split the shutout, with Goodgrove making the Total Restoration Save of the Game with a textbook roll early in the second half. Monashee Surveying reeled off their third straight win with a 7-2 decision over the host Salmon Arm Outlaws. Monashee, now 5-5-1, scored on the game’s first play courtesy of a Rodney Goodchild shot. The 0-11 Outlaws tie it up off a corner kick, but Okanagan Spirits Man of the Match Nick Croken replied with
the first of his three goals after Ryan Sharp lobbed a through ball behind the Outlaw defence. Croken’s second came on a rebound off a free kick. Then, after six straight Monashee corners, Mike Arding converted the 4-1 goal. Croken, Devon Marriott and Sharp, catching everyone standing around on a free kick, rounded out the Monashee attack. The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels handled Riot FC with ease on Marshall #2, turning a 4-0 halftime score into a 11-0 full-time win. It was one of those nights where everything clicked for the team in orange. Good ball movement, strong challenges and a quick transition ensured the 2-8-2 Riot could not produce any real threat. Trevor Rachwalski and Enzo Paal posted hattricks for the 7-4-2 Camels, while Ryan Campbell shared in the shutout and fired a last-minute penalty. Keenan Jesperson, Khiran O’Neill, Nick Pantaleo and Nathan Whitling added to the attack. North Enderby Timber prevailed 1-0 over host Eagle Homes Nation of Domination in a hardfought tilt in Salmon Arm. NOD (6-2-2) controlled the play for the first 20 minutes, but were shutdown by the NET back line. Dexter James supplied the offence for the 8-3-1 timbermen in the 30th minute after the NOD keeper bobbled a Graham Ross free kick. NET struck the woodwork four times in the second half. The Speedpro Man of the match went to the Timber back line of Chris Ovens, Jesse Knight, Evan Frederick, Tyler Loose and Scott Wallace. Keeper Danny Stein earned the shutout while wishing parents Marty and Tammy a happy 31st anniversary.

United gears up for Italian job with Goplen draw Morning Star Staff
Goplen’s Drillers gave North Okanagan United a solid test as NOU prepares for the World Masters Games, Aug. 2-11 in Torino, Italy. The teams generated plenty of scoring chances as they ran to a 1-1 draw in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. Early in the second half, the 2-8-3 Drillers got on the board when Shelley Zupp carried the ball in from the corner and finished with a sharp-angle shot for her first tally of the season. Goplen then missed on a penalty shot, and soon after, NOU’s (Lean) Lena Dean connected on a beautiful high shot from the top of the 18. Strong performances and great team work were demonstrated by Goplen’s Krista MacGagno, Nancy Nickoli, Lisa Lanaway, Jodi Peshko and Kelly Megyesi, who is off to Italy with NOU (4-5-5). The Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas led for the majority
of play, but ran out of steam in an 8-7 goalfest loss to the Shuswap Kaos in Salmon Arm. Fielding only 10 players, the Sistas gave up an own goal in the late going which, combined with the heat, finally drained them. The 4-7-1 Kaos took a 2-0 lead before the 1-10-1 Sistas got on track as Tammy Buick ran onto a Kim Sylvester cross, one-timing it past the Shuswap keeper. Sylvester tied it as she wheeled in behind the Kaos back line to collect an Andrea Zubot lob over the last defender’s head. She finished with a high blast. Sylvester’s second came on a sweet send-in from Krista Blankley, who was on fire at outside half, disrupting the Kaos offence and starting several chances for the green girls. Lisa Geary finished with four goals, one a spectacular shot over Kaos keeper from 25 yards out, and another as she calmly slipped one by the onrushing tender. Birthday girl Darlene Toews broke up a number of Kaos offensive forays, and Lesley Williams was solid as stopper. Newbie Jamie McLeod showed great instincts and a solid
skill-set at outside defence, while U.S.-bound Keri Storey played well in sweeper position. Keeper Suzyn August was tough when challenging for the ball and made some great high saves. The Longhorn Impact continued their stellar string of Masters play, icing the Chick Kickers 3-2 at Marshall Field #1. Dawn Heiss got the 16-0 Impact rolling at the 20-minute mark after some back-and-forth play from both sides. Lauren Harris put a cross in to the front for Heiss to tap in. Heather Findlay played relentless in the middle to set up chances for the forwards, and Harris and Janelle Smithson made numerous triangles to hammer the net, but were denied a number of times by terrific fingertip saves by Robyn Sherwood. Longhorn’s second and third tallies came from veteran Vicky Ryan, her first being a lovely chip shot over the goalie. The 5-3-4 Chicks scored after halftime to make it 2-1, and continued to press hard for the equalizer, but the Impact defence tightened up to suppress the Kicker forwards.

Controllers drain Merlot in comeback Continued from A21
Playing under leg-draining heat in Salmon Arm, the Vernon Controllers overcame an early deficit to upend Shuswap Merlot 4-1. Merlot (3-7-3) opened its account on a 30-yard blast from Lisa Woods from the right sideline. The 7-7-1 Controllers, who are also bound for Italy, equalized when Jenny Currie sent Felicia O’Gorman in alone on a beautiful though ball, with O’Gorman solving Merlot keeper Caroline Goode. Tied at the half, Sena Bishop cranked an Emma Louie offering off the keeper and Jenn Spitzer pounced on the rebound for the go ahead goal. O’Gorman then returned the favour to her Co-Lady of the Match, sending a gorgeous ball to Currie, who raced in alone for the 3-1 goal. Recovering from a sprained ankle, Spitzer showed a nice touch in completing the offence. The backline of Jody Pope, Brandie Hunter, Val Percy, Michelle Wernicke, and at times, Leslie Epp, were leaky to start but really tightened up later in the first half. In Division 1 play Tuesday night, Little Tex Outlaws rebounded from last week’s loss to Dr. Lee’s Dental by bottling up Wrap Zone 6-0 at Marshall #4. Monica Neilson and Maria Thorlaksen each pocketed a pair for Little Tex (6-2-5). Anita Rae booted a left-footer past the Wrap Zone tender after a nifty passing sequence with Brittany Davison and Toren Huntley. Davidson had the other goal. Wrap Zone’s keeper did a great job stopping many shots as the Outlaws used her for shooting practice. Wrap Zone showed hustle all night as the dipped to 0-13.

Frosty Lady of the Match Arrotta made several big stops in the second half. The North Enderby Timber Celtics grounded the AF Blazers 4-1 Tuesday at Marshall #5.

university star player Paige Doherty. Hailey Woon countered for the 5-6-2 AF Blazers, who controlled most of the play up to the halftime whistle. After the intermission, Jenn Siegmueller wheeled up the right side and crossed one to the middle where Heidi Holtmann set up Carly Smith for a left-footer from 20 yards out.

Creek. “Myles (Johnson, Spall pro) did a great job getting the team together for the Okanagan. It was great to get two of the top junior girls in the valley involved – Mackenzie Barrie (Vernon Golf) and Jessica Claggett (Two Eagles Golf Course an Academy) – with some of the younger boys so they see how good they can get over time.”

Shamrocks face Shaw Cup elimination Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks need a rebound effort to avoid elimination as they host the Kelowna Raiders in Game 2 of their best-of-three Shaw Cup semifinal series tonight (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Rocks fell 8-5 in the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League playoff opener Wednesday at Memorial Arena in Kelowna. The Raiders opened the scoring when Matt Gorges snuck in behind the Shamrock defence. The Shamrocks then got into penalty trouble, which resulted in powerplay goals by Pho Heng (2), Darcy Leach and Jordan Innes. Armstrong got on the board on a great shorthanded solo effort by Kas Boudreau to make it 5-1 at the break. The second period saw the Shamrocks chip away at the lead with nice overhand shots by Kriss Yargeau and Kyle Versteeg, while their defence held the Raiders scoreless. Further penalty problems for Armstrong in the third frame gave Kelowna a pair of 5-on-3 powerplays. Kelowna’s Chris
Phillips and Braden Renner capitalized. The Shamrocks tried to play the comeback game with Pat Nelson and Chad Pounder adding singles, but Gorges’ second of the night put the game out of reach. The teams combined for 110 penalty minutes, with Grahame Cousins earning the win for the Raiders. Chad Pieper took the loss. The Shamrocks are hoping for a boisterous crowd tonight in Armstrong. “We really rely on our home crowd to pump us up for the playoffs,” said head coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell, who was ejected in the third period of Game 1. “We need everyone out to make a lot of noise.” Meanwhile, the Vernon Source For Sports Tigers will have home-floor advantage as they host the Kamloops Venom in the best-of-five TOJLL championship series (dates to be determined). The upstart Venom eliminated the top-seeded Kelowna Raiders after their 6-5 win in Game 4 of the TOJLL semifinals Wednesday in Kamloops.

Once an awkward, shy nine-year-old girl aboard her first little pony, Georgia Tooke, now 15, has always dreamed of making it to the Olympics of young riders – the North American Junior Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC). This summer, the dream is finally becoming a reality. Tooke has qualified for Young Riders in dressage and will represent Canada at the Kentucky Horse Park, July 17-21, in Lexington. Young Riders is the premier equestrian competition in North America for riders ages 14-21. Athletes come from Canada, U.S., Mexico, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands to vie for team and individual FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale) medals in the three Olympic equestrian disciplines of show jumping, dressage and eventing, and the FEI world equestrian games disciplines of reining and endurance. “Dressage to me is like a way of expressing yourself through dance,” said Tooke, a Vernon secondary student. “Except instead of dancing by myself, I am teaching and training a horse to dance with me. We dance together. “To me, dressage is about the connection and the bond that is built between the horse and rider. My goal is not to win the competitions but ultimately to achieve Photo Submitted unity with my horse.” Vernon’s Georgia Tooke and her partner Magic will compete in the North American Junior Tooke’s dance partner is Magic, a Young Rider Championships, July 17-21, in Lexington, Ky. 13-year-old Friesian gelding owned by Chelsea Balcaen of Coldstream Dressage.

Canadians sizzle Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians went undefeated in a trio of Pee Wee A baseball games last weekend, starting with a doubleheader sweep of host Salmon Arm Saturday. Koll Cherkowski started things off for Vernon in Game 1’s 21-15 win at Elks Field, reaching first on a dropped third strike. He then stole his way around the bases on errors. Ryan Gamage singled to score Landon Harison. In the second inning, Nakoda Parker singled to centre and later stole home on some heads-up base running. With the bases loaded Harison walked to bring in a run, Eric Foufoulas walked then stole second and Cherkowski and Harison stole home.
Parker homered in the third inning, bringing in Gamage and Foufoulas. Matthew Hansen stole home on an overthrow for the fourth run. The C’s went up 10-9 in the fourth when Cherkowski doubled to centre and later stole home on an overthrow. Erik Colwell hit a triple to centre to cash in Harison, and then stole home. In the fifth, Colwell singled to centre with the bases loaded, scoring Cherkowski and Lewis. Parker smacked a big triple to centre and later stole home. On defence, Parker knocked down a line drive to third, tagging the bag then throwing to Foufoulas at second for the double play. The C’s took the second tilt 14-10, with

If the 2013 race season has a theme for Vernon’s Nathan Champness, it is to make up for lost time. Unable to start racing until late July in 2012, the 29-year-old earned his third win in four races at the Desert Half Iron Triathlon Sunday in Osoyoos. He completed the 2-kilometre swim, 90-km bike and 21.1-km run in four hours, eighteen minutes and thirty four seconds, more than 11 minutes ahead of runner-up Chris Young of Vancouver. Next up for Champness, who races for The Starting Block and Olympia Cycle, is the Peach Classic Tri on July 21, where there is a $5,000 prize on offer to anyone who can break the long-standing course record. Other local athletes earning age-group podium spots on Sunday were: Carol Winn (1st, women’s 40-44); Tanja Redelinghuys (2nd, women’s 40-44); Lynda Proce (2nd, women’s 55-59); Mike Everett (1st, men’s 65-69).
Godard joins SilverBack staff Morning Star Staff
Troy Mick continues to tap into his Vernon connections to round out his staff with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. After signing former Vernon Viper head scout Larry Black as assistant GM, and captain Kevin Kraus as assistant coach, Mick has added ex-NHL enforcer Eric Godard as an assistant. In eight NHL seasons, Godard, a Vernon native, amassed six goals, 12 assists and 833 penalty minutes playing with the Islanders, Flames and Penguins. He won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh Eric Godard in 2009. While this will be Godard’s first coaching assignment, he brings with him tremendous experience and work ethic. “I look forward to teaching discipline, loyalty and systems that create champions,” said Godard, in a press release. “I believe that I have earned success throughout my career because of my determination, work ethic and the plain fact that I had to work hard for everything. “I’ve always worked well with my teammates, peers and coaches and have always brought a team-
first attitude, and those are all elements that I’d like to bring to the start of my coaching career.” Mick has known Godard for quite some time, and said his level of dedication is something that will rub off on the players. “He worked hard and sacrificed for everything that he did in his career and nothing was ever handed to him,” said Mick. “Not many guys worked harder than he did, and to top it off he was rewarded with a Stanley Cup ring.” Godard will join the SilverBacks in time for the SilverBacks’ main camp, which begins Monday, Aug. 19 at the Shaw Centre. Meanwhile, the Vipers continued to address their surplus of 20-year-olds by sending forward Braedan Russell to the Powell River Kings in exchange for future considerations Wednesday. “He’s a good kid, but we’re high on 20-year-olds and we had to start making adjustments,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. A highly touted prospect coming into last season, Russell struggled to find his way with the Vipers after injuring his wrist in a pre-season scrap. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Oakville, Ont. product finished with two goals and five assists in 25 games. “He never got off on the right foot here,” said Williamson. “Not his fault. If he wasn’t a 20-yearold, absolutely we’d keep him.”

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

If you own a smartphone and find it hard to put the device down, you’re not alone. A new poll by Insights West found 64 per cent of B.C. adults own one, they use it an average of 1.7 hours a day and have an average of 27 apps installed on it. The survey found 18 per cent of B.C. smartphone owners consider themselves strongly addicted to the device – most of those say it’s manageable – and an additional 43 per cent call it “very important” to their lives. Sixty two per cent of smartphone owners check it at least hourly and a compulsive six per cent check it more often than every 10
minutes. Self-described addicts spend an average 2.5 hours a day actively using their phones, the poll found. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the heavy usage shows how profoundly the devices have transformed daily life and quickly become pervasive. “Look at kids and how glued they are to their devices and some of us adults as well. “It has implications all around, from driving while you’re texting, to social relationships, to impacts on other things you do with your time, like exercise, TV watching and newspaper readership.” According to the poll, more than threequarters of smartphone
PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

owners said that if they left home for the day without their device they’d return home to retrieve it. Among young adults age 18-34, the smartphone ownership rate soars to 86 per cent. Asked what sacrifices they’d make to avoid giving up their phone for three days, 70 per cent of young adults would rather give up Facebook, 25 per cent would give up computer internet access and 25 per cent said they’d rather be stood up for a date. Just 18 per cent of younger users would give up their device ahead of those alternatives, compared to 26 per cent of users aged 35-54 and 57 per cent of those 55 and up. Checking social media is a common use. A majority of users say they use their smartphone as their main way to use Twitter, more than a computer or a tablet, while a computer was still the preferred way to use Facebook. Actually making phone calls remained the top smartphone use, just ahead of texting. But email, searching for information, taking or sharing photos, checking the weather, researching products or services and using map apps to get directions were also among the most common uses. Smartphone ownership in B.C. now spans nearly two thirds of the population and has surpassed PVRs (52 per cent own one) and MP3 players (55 per cent), while rapidly closing in on landline telephones (71 per cent.) And it’s still climbing. At least a fifth of nonsmartphone owners said they intend to get one within the next year. Half of smartphone users have already bought something via the device and more expect to use it for purchases in the future. More than a third of those surveyed said it’s important for them to have the latest smartphone.

B.C. to learn from rail disaster COME DOWN TO VERNON DODGE TODAY The B.C. government will incorporate lessons from the Lac Megantic rail disaster in its own effort to develop “world class” land-based oil spill protection, Environment Minister Mary Polak says. Polak said that while rail traffic is regulated by the federal government, the province’s target for proposed oil pipeline safety have led to discussion with Ottawa and railway operators. The runaway train that destroyed part of Lac Mary Polak Megantic, Quebec in a huge explosion and fire Saturday night was carrying light crude from shale oil deposits in North Dakota to a refinery in New Brunswick. The oil industry across North America has increasingly looked to rail and barge transportation of crude as pipeline expansion has fallen behind increasing production. “Whenever we see an event like this, our main
concern is to learn from it and do everything we can to ensure that nothing like this would ever happen again,” Polak said. “So we will be watching the federal investigation very closely.” Polak said there is no simple answer to the question of whether pipelines are safer than rail for transporting oil. “There is differing opinion on either side, and much depends on what kind of topography you’re dealing with in a particular location,” she said. Transport Canada increased restrictions on rail operations after two serious accidents in recent years. Train lengths were restricted on CN’s B.C. operations near Prince George after an August 2006 collision between two trains with a fire involving gasoline and lumber cars. In 2005, a CN derailment in the Cheakamus Canyon resulted in a tank car loaded with caustic soda spilling in the river, killing thousands of fish. In both incidents, the available locomotive and braking power were a key focus for investigators.

the improvements in building and fire codes we should be making structure fires almost extinct. So why worry about fire prevention? Well to tell you the truth, I can’t say that I have noticed any change at all in the number of structure fires Vernon Fire Rescue Services and our regional fire departments attend per year. Besides, the fire code administers B.C.’s Fire Service Act which deals almost exclusively with public buildings and is really meant to deal with catastrophic reform or the elimination of large fires with multiple fatalities. As well, the B.C. Building Code has a standard of requirements for large or specific use buildings relative to a community’s capacity to fight fires. This is called the firefighting assumption, which is really frustrating to a prevention person because it appears to encourage the relaxing of the code thus allowing a greater risk of having a structure fire based on a fire department’s capacity to put it out!” All that being said, the fire code and building code still represent a high standard of minimum fire safety requirements that a building must have for its construction and use in B.C. Validation for the value of having these codes insuring an acceptable level of fire safety can be seen by the incredible disasters that other countries are experiencing as a result of not having them. Unfortunately, even with that type of evidence, we still have people who will try everything they can and make every excuse possible to not follow them. So what is it we in prevention are doing wrong? Sadly, it seems that in this instant, everything world, meeting deadlines and tight schedules have made us too busy to worry about fire safety and only too quick to accept fire as something that happens to someone else. The perception that basic fire prevention is too costly in time and money relative to the small risk of fire these days is wrong.
Especially when we consider that Vernon just recently had six structure fires in three weeks and even three in one day, most of which were totally preventable. We appear to be content in believing that, “Fire is something that we can do nothing about. If it is going to happen, it will happen after all that’s the reason we pay to have a fire department, isn’t it?” No matter how you look at it, responding to fires has become expensive and those costs are continuing to grow across North America. The value of a fire department has become a controversial comparison of what was saved to what was lost. Unfortunately, the dirty little secret is that people really want fire to be someone else’s problem. We prefer to ignore the fact that the most effective and cost efficient means of keeping people and property safe is by never having fires in the first place which by the way just happens to be everyone’s responsibility. Surprisingly enough, in this weakened and suffering economy, we can scrutinize budgets and question the costs of firefighting but no one ever considers that if we put more effort individually into fire prevention, everyone can save some money. The cruel reality is that most fires are preventable and a small amount of effort in fire prevention equates to a huge investment in the protection of your family and property. Changing from a mindset of, “It will never happen,” to “It could happen,” can literally make a world of difference. My father summed it up perfectly when he said, “Fire makes a wonderful servant but given the chance, becomes a terrible master,” and that, “It is up to us to make sure it never gets that chance.” It is really time for all of us to take some responsibility for our own safety. I encourage you to become fire smart and don’t give fire a chance to happen in the first place. Lawrie Skolrood is a deputy fire chief with Vernon Fire Rescue.

Prepare for Hydro hikes LNG plants gear up. Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put B.C. Hydro through the wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John H a r t Tom Fletcher up g r a d e s (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt. What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin.
B.C. Views
He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, B.C. Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a dividend as B.C. Hydro’s lone shareholder. The newly updated budget tells us this annual dividend is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

per, gold, silver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators. AltaGas, owner of one of those private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities. The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of highskill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and

here’s a new sheriff in town for B.C. Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume. The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on B.C. Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s core review to cut $50 million a year from government operations. NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest B.C. Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget. First, there was a $140 million cost overrun on the Northwest transmission line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut and adjacent mine properties. Then, B.C. Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness. Condition red was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake. Horgan recited his list of B.C. Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the B.C. Liberals: huge deferred debt revealed by the auditor general, enormous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one. Bennett fired back.

Fall Head Over Heels at Caravan Prepare to get lost in the Bermuda Triangle of love when Caravan Farm Theatre stages its summer show
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
It’s not every day you witness a plane crash. But up a small hill, past a gazebo full of sweaty actors, and at the untouched fringe of the forest, there lies the mangled remains of a fuselage with a broken wing propped up against a tree. The occupants have long dispersed. In fact, they don’t really exist, but are the figment of one man’s imagination, where nothing seems real and love is on the brain. Cue The Twilight Zone theme music. “I call it the Bermuda Triangle of love,” says Caravan’s artistic director Courtenay Dobbie. The plane is just part of the latest summer production about to crash land at Spallumcheen’s gem in the rough, Caravan Farm Theatre. Written by Caravan alumnus Peter Anderson at what is the theatre’s 35th anniversary, Head Over Heels starts with a plane crashing into a mysterious world that resembles a jungle gym straight from the pages of a Harry Potter novel. “This is Peter’s 35th year with the company, so we thought this would be a perfect way to celebrate,” said Dobbie. “We wanted to do something fun and farcical. This has mistaken identity and wild antics and we needed a funny writer who handles comedy well and has a knowledge of the farm, so we thought we’ll get Peter to do it.” The actual plane, salvaged from Westcan Aircraft Sales Ltd. at the Kamloops Airport, was previously used on the CBC-TV show Arctic Air, and here serves as the home of one of the characters in this fun tale. Those characters include a cross dressing sibling and some strange loved-up people, but don’t worry, this a family show if there ever was one. “It’s very loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, but it is not Shakespeare. It’s its own play entirely and not an adaptation. We stole from his playwriting prowess and raped and pillaged it,” laughed Dobbie, again reiterating the family aspect of the show. “The comedy is good for the kids and

Set designer Marshall McMahen works on the fuselage of the plane that is part of the set for Caravan Farm Theatre’s summer production, Head Over Heels. The comedy, written by Caravan alumnus Peter Anderson, opens July 23. there’s some humour for the adults. Peter has done a fantastic job.” Head Over Heels follows Oola, the poor girl who lands in the aforementioned mysterious land. Thinking her twin brother, Oli, is dead she sets off to find her way and encounters a strange set of characters such as Harquevari, whose best friend, in true Caravan fashion, is a pack horse. (Enter Jason, one of the farm’s mighty Clydesdales.) Harquevari explains that Oola has arrived in a land ruled by a grande dame named Levidia Swann – a tempestuous, hot-tempered woman. To avoid confrontation with the jealous ruler, Oola follows Harquevari’s sage advice and dresses up like a boy. Unbeknownst to Oola, her twin brother also survived the plane crash and his arrival in this strange world creates hilarious confusion about who is whom. “(Oola) has no idea where she is. It is like time has stopped still and the people she encounters live in their own private world with their own rules and laws,” said Dobbie, noting the play explores amour in all its
many facets. “All the characters have, at one time or another, crashed into this world where they discover love... Every character identifies themselves and goes on a journey of love.” Acting out some of those amorous characters are some familiar faces to Caravan audiences, including Martin Julien (last seen in 2010’s Everyone) and Manon Beaudoin, who joins her A Midsummer Night’s Dream team from 2011, Mike Wasko, Jennifer Paterson (Oola) and Josh Drebit (Oli). Returning from last year’s summer production is Christopher Hunt (Belle Forest), who played Julius Tallhammer in The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride, and Eleanor Holt (last year’s Mary Scrapes), who this time plays Harquevari. New to Caravan are Toronto’s Hannah Miller (Levidia Swann) and Colin Doyle (Inkling). “They are all comic geniuses and are gifted physically for comedy,” said Dobbie. They need to be as they have to flit through the woods, traverse a suspended bridge, and climb up and down that afore-
“Making your home come to life”
mentioned jungle gym designed and built by Marshall McMahen and Caravan’s tireless crew. Dobbie is also multi-tasking. She is not only directing the production but has also written the show’s music numbers with her former writing/acting partner-in-crime Ajineen Sagal. (Some may remember the women’s Showdown of the Whiskey Girls, which premiered in the Enderby Drill Hall in 2006 and later toured around B.C.) The music, performed by Kim White on guitar and banjo, Sarah May Redmond on accordion and Julie McIsaac on violin, has a folk-Gypsy feel to go along with the story, said Dobbie. “It’s fun, bright and fast-paced with some beautiful ballads, but is also modern and poppy. People will remember the tunes.” Head Over Heels previews at Caravan July 23 and 24 and runs nightly, except Mondays, July 25 to Aug. 25 at 7:30 p.m. The farm is also offering pay-what-you-can, family and date nights with special rates.

n the first film, supervillain Gru (Steve Carell) had a change of heart about his nefarious ways, in the end choosing to be a good dad to three adorable little girls. Now Gru has been recruited back into the exciting, gadget-filled world of the Anti-Villain League, this time to save the world from a powerful new super-villain who threatens not only Gru and his Minions, but his family as well. We say, “It’s every bit as fun and funny as the first.” TAYLOR: I enjoyed Despicable Me 2. It has all the features that made the first film popular: cute kids, a

touching transformation of a questionable character, the bumbling Minions, (the little yellow pill guys.) By giving Gru a partner from the Anti-Villain League in the form of ambitious and pretty Lucy (Kristen Wiig), the subplot is provided the opportunity to pluck heartstrings by way of completing their family unit. So, not unlike the first film, there is a great deal of classic sentiment,

ing. I think it’s because of their bubbly French gibberish. There is more Minion action in this film than in the first. HOWE: I will agree with you on most of what you are saying. My problem with it is there are a lot of movies like this: Megamind, The Incredibles and even Cars 2. There’s not much new in the way of a storyline. There’s the bad guy who wants to take over the world, lots of gadgets and a love interest. I didn’t even find it that funny, and that’s a shame because you have two of the best in Carell and Wiig, but I guess they are limited to what they can do with the script. FENIN: I loved it. The Minions were very funny. I laughed and laughed at them. Dad, can I have one of those?

HOWE: Ask your mum. TAYLOR: I saw it with my wife, in a packed house full of excited kids. There was a lot of laughter. I’m pretty sure DM2 was funnier than Monsters University. I can agree we’re not breaking new ground here. Perhaps it’s the European touch on the suave cartoon spy flick that intrigues me more than the somewhat boorish American college comedy. Perhaps it’s because there’s a depth to this film not present in a film about teenage monsters, but I liked DM2 better. HOWE: I don’t know if Fenin loved it as much as he said he did. I found him getting fidgety after about the hour mark. Maybe this storyline was a little too old for him (he is only five), whereas, Monsters University, he sat through from start to finish, not saying a word. Out of the choice of the two of them playing right now, MU is funnier and more original. I found Despicable Me 2 only so-so. Fenin gives Despicable Me 2.5 cats out of 5. Howe gives it 3 jellies out of 5. Taylor gives it 3.5 blind dates out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

first of four performances in an intimate setting in Lake Country. The Orchard is a new musical venue in Lake Country that will host performers in a comfortable and intimate setting overlooking Oyama and Kalamalka Lakes. Owner Julia Reid says they hosted one concert last year and decided to increase the number of events this year at the venue, on Middle Bench Road in Oyama. “We’ve been in Oyama for a few years and we thought it would be really nice to have concerts in our orchard,” said Reid. “It’s an intimate setting. We had one concert last year and it went really well so we are having four this year.” Okanagan musician Gorden James will kick off the season at The Orchard this Saturday night. An accomplished singer/songwriter who describes his style as urban country, easy listening, with a touch of the blues, James’ debut album, Heart of the Matter, continues to receive airplay across Canada and overseas. James was recently featured on CMT Canada’s, Big in a Small Town. Other concerts this summer include Shari Ulrich (July 26), Windmills (Aug. 2) and Sherman Doucette (Aug. 17). All profits from ticket sales go the artist. Tickets are available at www.theorchardwebsite.com.

Kids invited on a ‘cruise’ Two Vernon churches are joining forces for vacation Bible school
Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Visitors to Knox Presbyterian Church this week are greeted by an unusual sight. A menagerie of stuffed tigers, unicorns and giraffes has gathered in preparation for A Zoo Cruise, this year’s theme for vacation Bible school, which the church is presenting in partnership with Peace Lutheran Church. “The idea came from a lunch I had with Pastor Rick Schulz at Peace and we were discussing how we both have great congregations but they were getting older, so how do we get children involved,” said Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton, pastor at Knox. “And we felt that by working together we could pool our resources, our time, our energy. “We are throwing our denominational stuff out the window and saying this is all about the kids.” A Zoo Cruise runs this week at Peace Lutheran Church, Monday to Friday, from 9 am. to noon; and Aug. 5 to 9 at Knox from 9 a.m. to noon. “I used to write VBS curriculum and there is lots out there, but a lot of it started to look the same,” said Charlton. “My mother was a primary school teacher, and I started thinking about going back to basics with cutting and glueing, almost retro. I have written an outline of a program but we will take it in our own direction.” The theme, said Charlton, is the Love Boat meets Noah’s
Ark, with Schulz playing the role of Capt. Stubing. The program is open to all school-aged children in the community, not just those who are members of the congregation. Kids will have the opportunity to hear the story of Noah’s Ark and then make props for a performance to wrap up the week. “Parents and grandparents are invited to come to the performance to see what the kids have been up to,” said Charlton. And, while her congregation tends towards an older demographic, Charlton said a VBS is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved. “There is pastoral care that happens as well, because we have some of our seniors who are happy to just hang out and watch the proceedings, and that can be very nurturing.” Charlton said with any VBS, part of the goal is outreach, the other is education. “And we’re also getting people in the door and so if they end up joining us, great. Meanwhile, there is a lot going on here and it’s a great opportunity for the congregation to get involved.” The first day of VBS is also the one-year anniversary of Charlton’s first day in the pulpit at Knox, a post she took up after arriving with her husband and three children last year from Richmond, Ont. Since her arrival, she said she has been overwhelmed by the support and generosity of her congregation’s members. “When I asked for people to bring in stuffed animals and anything else they had that would go with our theme, they were so generous and so enthusiastic. I think the congregation is enjoying the silliness.” While organizing a VBS requires a lot of time and energy — at the same time that both

Stork report
Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star
Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton gets ready for A Zoo Cruise, the vacation Bible school at both Knox Presbyterian Church and Peace Lutheran Church. pastors are going about their regular duties of writing sermons and making hospital visits — Charlton said it’s all worth it. She recalls a five-year-old girl who once arrived at VBS, having never been to church. “As soon as she walked into the sanctuary, she said ‘It’s a God place.’ If you want a motivation as to why we put ourselves through all of this — the spilled glue, the tempers flaring in the kitchen — that little girl expressed it beautifully. There’s no way to measure this, but that’s what has inspired me.” A Zoo Cruise will include
drama, games, songs and crafts, as well as snacks and the biggest ice cream sundaes in town. As well, every participant will receive a DVD of photos taken throughout the week, including one of each child being greeted by the “captain” at the start of the “cruise.” Cost to attend is $10 per child or $20 per family. If cost prevents a child from attending, subsidies are available. To register for July’s camp at Peace Lutheran, call 250-545-5787. To register for the August camp at Knox Presbyterian, call 250-542-8613.

Too much on the text, Grandmommie
ear Annie: This is my second marriage. My husband has two children from his first marriage and a stepdaughter. His first wife had several affairs. I feel it may have been due to his lack of support for her. He was always working and never had time for his wife and kids. We married five
years after his divorce. My husband and I are happy, and he is devoted to me. But he continues to work a great deal, and I am often lonely. I know it would help to have my own outside interests and hobbies and to go out with my friends, but I miss the closeness I had with my first husband. We did everything together.

The problem now is his kids. We have not spoken to them in nearly three years. When his oldest granddaughter sent us a graduation invitation, I sent her a text thanking her for inviting us. She wrote back, “Who is this? I do not recognize the number.” That really hurt me. I gave nine years of my life to that little girl, trying to be a good step-grandmother. I wrote her back and said, “Once upon a time, you called me Grandmommie. I
still love and miss you.” I have heard nothing more from her. My husband’s children have no respect for their father because he was always gone. I tried to overcome that for many years, but it went sour. What can we do to get these problems corrected? Should we send a graduation gift? — Hurting in Oklahoma Dear Oklahoma: First, while your relationship with these children seems distant, let’s not mix apples and oranges. Unless your phone number is programmed into this grandchild’s phone, your name would not come up when you texted, and she would not have known who was contacting her. You can call the children and grandchildren
directly and ask how to warm up the relationship. But we can’t promise anything will change unless your husband becomes more involved, and he does not seem inclined. But please send a graduation gift. It’s a start. Dear Annie: I am at my wits’ end. I have tried every angle imaginable to stop an employee from showing her butt crack. I even bought her a long T-shirt. She wore it once and says she can’t find it. Am I wrong to think that she should not be allowed to dress this way? She says that I am the only person who has a problem with it, but I’m simply the only one willing to speak up. Firing her is not an option. —
Fairfield, Conn. Dear Fairfield: If there is no consequence for dressing so unprofessionally, there is no reason for her to change her clothes. Dress codes should be enforced. We recommend you talk to whoever is in charge and ask that a dress code be established and consequences spelled out — including termination for someone who repeatedly and deliberately refuses to adhere to the requirements of the job. This girl undoubtedly believes her exhibitionism is appealing. But it is actually a source of ogling and amusement at her expense. She should save it for after hours. Dear “No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky.,” who is addicted to alcohol,
criticized family members for being addicted to food. He said, “How is it more legitimate to grab a doughnut when under stress than to pour myself a cocktail?” There is a HUGE difference. I grew up in a home where both of my parents were alcoholics. Alcohol changes a person’s behavior toward others. Food does not. I would much rather have had obese parents than emotionally damaging alcoholics. I wouldn’t have needed so many years in therapy. — Lynn in Louisville Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast. net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
Ghost Tours celebrates 10 years of spooky stories Morning Star Staff
Spirit: The great purpose of God through Christ is to purify and perfect for Himself a glorious community of spiritually minded brothers and sisters, cleansed from all the unloveliness of the flesh, who have put away everything of this perishing world. And by the operation of the mighty power of the Spirit can stand before God holy and blameless in love. His indwelling Spirit provides moral guidance. We all are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Yet, this year, instead of offering the tour a couple days a week for the summer, the tours will be packed into one week of ghostliness. Starting, as always, from the steps between the Vernon Museum and the former library, the tour will run every day from this Sunday until July 20 at 9 p.m. The tours cost $10 for ages 13 and up, $5 for those 12 and under. “It is hard to believe that this will be my 10th year of holding the tours,” said creator and host Mr. Gabriel David Sumegi Newman the 2nd. Newman, a professional storyteller and performer, created the ghost tours as a way of combining the art of storytelling with local history. “You come for the ghosts, which there are many of, but you leave with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of the region,” he said. When Newman initially created the tours in 2004 he hoped he would get a few hundred people over the summer to cover his expenses, so he was shocked when on the third night of doing the tour he had just under 200 spectators. “It was insane,” said Newman, but it wasn’t something he was unprepared for. Years earlier he had worked with the St.
John’s Haunted Hike which quite frequently got hundreds of participants a night. “I knew large crowds were possible for an old city with hundreds of years of history and thousands of tourists but I wasn’t expecting it in Vernon. What I hadn’t counted on was the local interest and support,” said Newman, who at the time had only lived in Vernon for a couple of years. “It was a wonderful introduction to the community spirit in Vernon.” Newman said it is that local interest and support which has kept him going all these years, adding that his crowds now are much more manageable in number, and the smaller crowds make for a more personal tour and allow for more questions and exchanges. “In the beginning I was just struggling to be heard but now I can focus on the stories and the audience.” Newman reflects on the many strange things that have happened over the years. “Certainly the first couple of years were the most memorable where the large crowds would shut down an intersection for five minutes as everyone crossed.” An outdoor walking tour through the streets of town at night offers opportunities for many interactions with the living that provided for interesting evenings. “Sometimes someone might have too much to drink and try to join the tours. Thankfully they usually lose interest after a story or two but they aren’t nearly as dis-
tracting as when the police arrest someone near us or even cats. I don’t know what it is about animals but if there is an animal around I could light myself on fire and people would still just watch the animals. I guess it is because they are unpredictable.” Now, after 10 years, Newman has become a staple of the summer in Vernon and people are less surprised to see a man walking around in a black three-piece suit, a black bowler hat and large skull walking stick with 20 people trailing behind him. Many tourists return year after year to hear the new stories or changes Newman has made. Locals as well have come to count on The Ghost Tours to entertain and educate visitors. “I have had some people on the tour more times than years I have done the tour,” adds Newman, “I offered to give them a discount but they refused, saying they enjoyed it every time. I mean, what more can a storyteller hope for.” So, if you have never gone, or haven’t gone in a while, you have one week before the Ghost Tours disappear into the darkness again. Tours leave at 9 p.m. from the steps of the Vernon Museum from Sunday to July 20. It is an outdoor walking tour and runs rain or shine, so dress appropriately. Ticket price is $10 for those over the age of 12 and $5 for those 12 and under (cash only). No reservations are necessary unless you want to book a private tour for 20 or more.
We do it the light way. Looking to create the perfect mood? A good table or floor lamp can make all the difference and Teresa can help you make the right choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Spending time with people not in your usual crowd will give you a fresh approach on things. Additionally, conversing with these people will invigorate your thinking. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Seek out some quiet place where you’ll be able to sort out your thoughts. You need to carefully plan a campaign to further your ambitions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) One of your best attributes is the ability to recognize the worth of others’ ideas, and to use them in ways that could feather your own nest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) An important idea can be achieved if you slightly alter or modify your present course of action. One tactic might be circumventing an obstacle instead of attempting to destroy it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re likely to get an opportunity to win over a new ally by frankly discussing a matter of mutual importance. Point out how each of you might benefit by working together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Take some time to figure out new methods that could improve your standing at work. Your
concepts could turn out to be quite ingenious. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) This could be one of those interesting days when unexpected developments prove to be the most fun. Play it loose, so that you’ll be able to take advantage of any shifting conditions. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Any flashes of inspiration should not be treated lightly, especially if they concern your home or family. Follow up on your hunches and see where they lead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your mental faculties are extremely acute, giving you the power to solve all kinds of problems. Put this force to work on something that’s really important. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Accurately sizing up workrelated situations shouldn’t be too difficult. Chances are you’ll arrive at your conclusions intuitively, and logic will back you up.
Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder FINESSING CAN BE DONE IN REVERSE That well-known humorist A.N. Onymous said, “Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck.” One of those words is relevant to this Independence Day deal. West leads the diamond king against four hearts. How should South plan the play? After West opened one notrump, showing 15-17 points, South and North pushed into game. South faces a potential loser in each suit. But since only 15 high-card points are
missing, he knows that West has them all. South wins the first trick and plays a heart to his ace. If both opponents follow suit, another heart lead would endplay West. He could cash the diamond queen, but then would have to sacrifice a trick whatever he did. Here, though, West takes the second heart, cashes the diamond queen, and exits safely with his last trump, East discarding diamonds. South wins in his hand and plays a club to dummy’s king. West takes the next club and leads his last club. How can South avoid a spade loser? West is known to have the queen. But he will not have a doubleton -- why not? Because if East had five spades, he would have run
from one no-trump into two spades. South must try a backward finesse. He ruffs the third club and leads his spade jack, running it if West does not cover. Or, if West does cover, declarer wins with dummy’s king, then plays a spade to his eight, hoping that East has the 10.

March 30th, 1921 – July 7th, 2013
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wes Johnson, at his home, while tending the rose garden he planted a few months ago for his beloved wife, Rosemary. She preceded him in death by two months and they are now reunited with their son John who died in 1999. Wes will be lovingly remembered by his three daughters, Bernie, Marilyn (Blain) and Laurie; his grandchildren, Christa (Mike), Rob and Myles (Katrina); and is the much loved Great Papa to Calleigh and KaƟe. He is also survived by two brothers, Dave and Herb (Ollie); and one sister Ruth. He was peceded in death by two sisters, Fanny and Alice; and two brothers, Ted and Jim. Wes was a hard working man, always had a beauƟful smile and he provided his family with a home built on love, strength and duty. He was a Veteran of WWII, a proud BC Dragoon – the last survivor of his Regiment in Vernon – a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #25 as well as a Whiz Bang member. He spoke very liƩle of the Įve years he spent overseas. The coƩage at Mable Lake brought many years of resƞul happiness for a hard working man. Fishing, swimming and happy singing around many campĮres are precious memories of Ɵmes spent there. For many years Wes and Rosemary enjoyed travelling to various places in their 5th wheel, taking in the beauƟful scenery wherever they went. Over the years they also picked pounds and pounds of huckleberries for pies and jam. CremaƟon preceded a CelebraƟon Of Wes͛ Life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, July 13th, 2013 at 11:00 A.M. with Padre Richard D. Schulz of the Royal Canadian Legion oĸciaƟng. A RecepƟon will follow in the Bethel Tea Room.

His long and courageous baƩle with cancer inspired many. In his life he managed to touch everyone that had the pleasure to know him. Darrel was predeceased by his mother Martha Lillian, dad Ole, and sister Lucille. He is survived by his ever loving wife, Pauline; sons, Ryan (Grace), and Dave (Paƫ); granddaughters, Kayla and Kelsie; brother Dwayne (Bev); AunƟe Ruth; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was born and raised in Lacombe, AB. Between working at a sawmill camp in Tete Jaune and farming in Lacombe, he eventually made his way to Vernon and worked at Riverside Forest Products (formerly Steele, currently Tolko).
As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donaƟons in memory of Wes to the Drs. McMurtry & Baerg Cancer Centre, 2101-32nd Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 5L2 or the B.C. Heart & Stroke FoundaƟon, #4-1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 9M9.

SLATER, Lloyd
March 19, 1955 – July 7, 2013 With disbelief and heartbreak we announce the passing of Timothy Lee. Tim was born in Outlook, SK, to Elmer and Amy Lee, the youngest of five. In 1976 he married Karen Reinhardt; they soon added 4 children to the family – Rollen, Logan, Ehren and Heidi. His family was a source of immense pride and joy, and with his wit, playfulness, and endless energy, he played, worked, chauffeured, camped and parented. He delighted in watching his children mature, pursue careers, marry and begin families of their own. How he loved his grandchildren! He worked hard to provide for his family: In the summer of 1974, he entered training at the RCMP Training Depot in Regina, SK., graduating in 1975 to postings in Pincher Creek and Medicine Hat, AB. In 1978 he requested an honorable discharge, and moved to Saskatoon and finally to Vernon, BC. He took great delight in his eventual work in reforestation, serving as Manager of the Vernon Seed Orchard Company until his death, and also on various provincial committees. His abiding faith in God, shaped and formulated from birth, was paramount through all of his days; he was always active in his church. Music played a big part, whether listening or singing. In grade 12, he sang his one and only solo role as Captain Corcoran in HMS Pinafore. His enthusiasm extended to the barbecue, for backyard groups of 30 – 40. He finally had time to golf, a sport first enjoyed with his brothers in Saskatchewan. Travel became more and more frequent, whether on business trips to Europe, Asia, or New Zealand, and holidays to sunny and warm places. Left to mourn are his wife, Karen, and children Rollen (Jenny), Logan (Deborah), Ehren (Kaela) and Heidi (Gordon), and grandchildren Sebastian, James, Luke, Grayson, Kysen, and Henry. His passing is also mourned by his brothers and sisters: Carol (George) Mooney, Sharon, Victor (Linda) and Robert (Barbara), and Karen’s family Janice (Joe) Mezynski, Cliff (Lorraine) Reinhardt, and Annette (Greg) Harvey, nephews, nieces, and extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Elmer and Amy Lee, brother-in-law Roger Williams, and Karen’s parents Friedrich and Erna Reinhardt. A celebration of Tim’s life will be held on Saturday, July 13, at 2 pm at Peace Lutheran, 1204 30 Avenue, Vernon, V1T 1Z5. Memorial donations may be made to the BC Children’s Hospital (bcchf.ca, Tribute pages), or Peace Lutheran Memorial Fund. His warm and generous smile, twinkling brown eyes, patience, and positive outlook were just a part of who he was. He adored his wife, children and grandchildren, who always came first. That mighty heart, so full of love, simply stopped beating. We cannot imagine life without him. He left us far too soon.
