Cultural groups want on the agenda RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cultural advocates are stepping up the pressure. The Vernon Public Art Gallery and Greater Vernon Museum are demanding a special meeting with the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to discuss going to public referendum for new facilities. “We want to continue on with our plans and set timelines,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, VPAG executive director. “We are still looking at timelines for a referendum so there is an urgency to sit down with them.”
“We want to continue on with our plans.” — Dauna Kennedy Grant
GVAC decided in February not to consider the possibility of a new gallery and museum until a review of cultural services is completed. That review has not started yet and Kennedy Grant is concerned the gallery and museum are on the political back burner. “We will keep pushing forward
because they are too important to have on the sidelines,” she said, adding that a special meeting is required because the issue cannot wait until GVAC’s regular session Aug. 8. Rob Tupper, museum president, says there is a need to start developing facility plans.
“We want to achieve results, and want our community leaders to share our vision and also to have the political will to move to the next steps of building expansion,” he said. “As expansion of cultural facilities will only happen with extensive volunteer efforts, we need certainty that our civic leaders are in full support of arts and culture in our community, and by extension, the groups of volunteers that make it all happen.” Mike Macnabb, GVAC chairperson, is willing to sit down with VPAG and the museum. “We are more than happy to
welcome any delegation and to be provided with information,” he said. However, Macnabb is reluctant to call a special meeting of GVAC when there is a meeting already scheduled for Aug. 8. “To collect everyone between now and then is not necessarily efficient. It costs a couple of thousand dollars every time we meet,” he said. VPAG wants to construct a $5 million facility on City of Vernon owned land on 31st Avenue, while the current museum complex could be expanded to provide more space.

Stamhuis tackles the English Channel Jennifer Smith

s he prepares to dive into retirement, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer is making a splash into one of the world’s most deadly stretches of water. Michael Stamhuis is taking on the challenge of the English Channel this summer, alongside four other Okanagan swimmers – Denise Cesselli, Tracey Sutton, Leora Dahl and Phred Martin, all known as the Okanagan Lake Monsters. The team will take turns, rotating in hour-long legs. “We continue to do that until we finish or the elements stop us,” said Stamhuis, who wraps up his duties with Coldstream at the end of the year. There’s a 10-day window, between July 29 and Aug. 7, where conditions are optimal in the unforgiving channel. “It can be challenging,” said Stamhuis of the frigid waters, fed from the Atlantic Ocean and North Sea. “A lot of swimmers fail. A number of swimmers have drowned due to hypothermia.” Along with battling water temperatures of about 15 C without wetsuits, swimmers must prove their endurance in the about 32-kilometre route (which is actually longer due to the tides and pull of the current). The fastest swim is a little over seven hours and the slowest

Stamhuis, of Coldstream, is taking on the English Channel this summer with his team, the Okanagan Lake Monsters. nearly 27 hours. “It could be rough, it’s a very rough channel,” he said. Then there are the sea creatures. While sharks are rarely seen in the channel, the larger concern for Stamhuis is the jelly fish. He is
hoping to avoid encounters with the long, trailing tentacles of the stinging sea creatures. There’s also boats to steer clear of. “It’s one of the heaviest shipping routes,” said Stamhuis. “There’s an awful lot of ships
we have to contend with.” Despite all the obstacles he’s up against, Stamhuis is eager to take on the challenge of the channel. “I’m quite excited,” said Stamhuis, who will be making the splash just before his 60th birthday in September.
Upper Room Mission closes in on goal richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There is light at the end of the tunnel for Vernon’s Upper Room Mission. The non-profit agency originally forecast that a new fire sprinkler would cost $100,000, but the price has now been fixed at $94,000. But the really good news is that through fundraising, $62,000 is already in place. “Everything is moving right along

but we still need a little bit of help from the community,” said Lisa Froom, general manager. Froom is confident the remainder of the money can be raised during construction, which starts in two weeks. “To see how far we have come is really encouraging,” she said. The $62,000 includes a $15,000 grant from the City of Vernon and Lisa Froom $31,000 from the Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser.
The fire sprinklers have been mandated by the city to meet building code. “We want to make sure we have high standards here and we provide our clients with a safe environment,” said Froom. It’s anticipated that installation of the sprinklers will take about six weeks. However, the mission will continue to provide meals during that time. Anyone interested in making a donation can drop by the Upper Room Mission at 3403 27th Ave. For more information, call 250-549-1231.

“It’s like climbing Mount Everest. It’s a challenge.” In fact, it’s the second challenge Stamhuis will be taking in while overseas. He is also competing in the World Masters in Italy July 27. Stamhuis has been swimming competitively since the age of eight. His oldest son is also a national swimmer and his mother is a masters swimmer. “My mother (81-years-old) will be competing in the world championship masters,” said Stamhuis. Stamhuis was the head official at the Canadian Masters Swimming Championships in May 2012. He also swam B.C.’s Georgia Strait last summer with Brent Hobbs, who became the first B.C. swimmer to swim the English Channel in 2008. “I recently competed in the B.C. Masters Swimming Championships in Vancouver. There I set two new Canadian records in my age group (60-64),” said Stamhuis. The first record was in the 1,500 freestyle, where Stamhuis smashed the old record of 20:21.11 with his time of 19:54.43. “I broke the record by 27 seconds and became the first Canadian 60 and over to go under 20 minutes,” he said. He also set the Canadian record in the 800 freestyle with a time of 10:23.39, beating old record of 10:33.81.

with insurance (by having barbed wire) and it keeps people out,” said Tom Kadla, administrator. “It’s a big risk at night if someone gets in there and drowns so we need to do something to prevent that.” Three surveillance cameras have also been installed at the pool and adjacent spray park to prevent trespassing and vandalism. “They are Internet accessible 24/7 and they can be checked out at any time,” said Roger Huston, parks superintendent. The cameras, which cost about $3,500, also provide full night vision for up to 20 metres. The advisory committee decided to install security cameras because of an ongoing problem with vandalism, including the fence being cut and broken glass being thrown into the water, which meant the pool had to be closed for half-a-day for cleaning. And in 2012, a picnic table was destroyed and a replacement cost about $2,000.

One recent firearms complaint and one from mid-May have been resolved by Lumby RCMP. On July 9, police responded to a firearms complaint near Bardoff Lake on the Coldstream Forest Service Road. “A sharp-eyed witness reported four adults shooting at targets with what appeared to be sawedoff rifles,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce. Police intercepted the four adults as they were leaving the area in their vehicle. Discussions with the quartet resulted in police locating a sawed-off .22 calibre rifle and a shotgun. Both were seized. “Once the barrels are shortened, the firearms become prohibited weapons,” said Proce. One of the men eventually accepted ownership of the weapons and faces a firearms charge under the Criminal Code. The driver of the vehicle was issued a 24-hour suspension as police said she was under the influence of marijuana. An investigation that began May 20 has led to three firearms offences against a Cherryville man.
“A witness reported four adults shooting.”
— Henry Proce According to police, a Cherryville resident confronted several young adults near the Kate Creek Forest Service Road because, the resident said, they were “riding on his claim.” The man allegedly indicated he was loading his shotgun and pointed it at the group. The victims were able to record his license plate number and called police. An investigation was conducted and have recommended criminal charges be laid as part of this case. Vernon Crown counsel approved three firearms-related charges against a 67-year-old man, who makes a court appearance July 18.

benches, walkways, basketball courts. The revitalized McLeod Park in Spallumcheen’s McLeod subdivision has also become a gathering place. “We are crazy about this park,” said Quin Whieldon, a subdivision resident, in between pushes for her two-year-old daughter, Bryn, on the swings at the park which was officially opened Friday morning. “It’s a great addition to the subdivision. It used to be we didn’t know any of the neighbours. Now, this park has brought young families together.” The township revitalized the area which once contained a playground with dilapidated equipment, thanks in part to a $128,000 grant from the B.C. Community Recreation Program and another $30,000 grant from Tire Stewardship B.C. which went toward the cost of the rubber safety surface surrounding the playground. Mayor Janice Brown praised the expertise of local contractors such as Urban Systems, Su Casa Landscaping, Rec Tech Industries, Western Safety Surfacing, Sunridge Design, Taber Services and Summer Scape Design. She also thanked McLeod subdivision residents for their input and suggestions regarding the redesign of the park. “We hope you are all satisfied with the outcome,” said Brown, who was joined by Couns. Christine Fraser and Rachael Ganson, along with township public works manager Ed Forslund at Friday’s official opening. “We anticipate the park will provide years of enjoyment for the many children and residents of not only McLeod subdivision but the township as a whole.” Newly appointed community minister Coralee Oakes of Quesnel was unable to attend the opening but did pass along best wishes and congratulations to the township. “Providing places where children can play and be active is such a great way to nurture good health and a sense of anticipation and fun for small children,” said Oakes.

Home sweet home
y parents went and sold my house right out from under me. Well, before you say I should consult a lawyer, I should probably explain a little further. My name wasn’t exactly on the deed of the house but I lived there for a good percentage of my life and it’s known to a lot of people I grew up with as my house, or at least my brother’s house, or my other brother’s house or even the other brother’s house. And yes, it was my parents’ house too, even legally if you must know, or maybe just the Mitchell’s house for nearly 50 years or so. You see it was built in 1965 for $21,000 when my parents and the three boys, later to become four, moved in and committed to this community, back when people at the Coast Glenn Mitchell thought this part of the world was, well, not really part of this world. Obviously we should have invested more in real estate at the time but we were too busy building our lives. And I can’t really fault my parents, well I can but it’s not really fair as they do have a right to sell their own home, as they are both in their 80s now and a condo does make sense on one level. But they are very healthy and very active and they could have waited for a few more years to make the big move, you know when I was more ready for it. Heavy sigh. Actually we’re all adjusting fairly well if you must know and I’ve driven up to their (my) house only once on auto-pilot before I caught myself a couple of blocks away from what is now the wrong destination. Of course we have yet to figure out Christmases and Thanksgivings and even birthdays and Sunday dinners, although we all went out to a restaurant for Father’s Day which felt weird but apparently other people do it because the place was packed. Who knew? Oh well, life goes on as they say, and my parents assure me the people that bought my, er, their
MitChEll’S MuSingS
house are nice and everything. OK, but do they know what they’re getting? Sure a big lot with an alley and a deck and all that physical stuff but what about the memories? Do they know who Sambo, Nadia, Marty, Mischa, Tiger, etc. are? Well they all lived there at one time, hopefully happily, and they’re all of the feline persuasion, OK? Do they know that one year we built a rink in the backyard and it promptly turned into the snowiest winter on record and all we did was shovel and water, shovel and water, and only donned skates a couple of times, although it was good with boots too? Or that the street that they live on used to be a dirt road and every spring the city would put a few tonnes of oil on it and each kid would take turns falling off their bikes and hurting themselves, not to mention getting really, really dirty, and our mom would call the city and......but they kept on doing it every year anyway? Or that one Christmas when we had no white stuff as I looked out the window, feeling blue, and I prayed for snow and we got over a foot overnight and we had to take a taxi to church the next day (at least that’s how I remember it and I’m sticking by it)? Or the Halloweens when we blew up firecrackers and fireworks back when having fun wasn’t considered criminal? Or the Ford Falcon, or the Chevy Malibu, or the Valiant Brougham, or the Viva Vauxhall, or the yellow Camaro, or my brother’s Mazda with the basketball behind the front seat to keep it secure, sort of? Or the ‘new’ bikes that I used to get that looked a lot like my brother’s old bike but a different colour? Or the road hockey games, sometimes with fights too, or the kick the can games, the parties, (both known about and maybe not-so-known about) and just generally all the countless people who came in that front door, well actually my friends usually came in through the basement, to enrich our lives? And, of course, the smell of fresh bread, and or cookies, when we came home from school? It truly was a wonderful place to grow up, thanks largely to the people who sold it out from under us, and I just thought the new owners should know what they’re getting. So there.
There’s no question that Greater Vernon politicians have ignored the plight of the community’s cultural amenities. Both the museum and public art gallery have been allowed to languish through inaction. The facilities are too small and in some cases, artifacts are in jeopardy because of the conditions. And the situation has worsened because elected officials and bureaucrats have been unwilling to give the museum and art gallery the same priority as the sports complex or other projects. As a result, the frustration from art gallery and museum advocates is completely understandable. However, at a time when finances are tight and taxpayers are feeling the pinch, those same advocates must appear to be reasonable and aware of the economic climate we live in. That’s why pushing for a special meeting with the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is a bad idea. First off, GVAC already has a regular meeting scheduled for Aug. 8. Every time a meeting is held, there is a cost for staff and politicians to gather, and it is taxpayers that fork over the cash. Based on that alone, cultural matters can wait three weeks. Secondly, GVAC has made it clear since February that it will not make any decisions on facilities until a review of all cultural services is completed. The goal of that review is to try and create efficiencies and that can only benefit residents and the cultural groups themselves. Yes, there is a need to avoid procrastination, and action is required on a museum and art gallery. But given that the matter has dragged on for years, three more weeks isn’t a major problem.

Gaps evident in health services
y wife, Kathleen Norah Hagman, suffered a debilitating right brain stroke April 24, 12, that left her left side paralyzed, unable to speak or swallow, and with complete loss of balance. She spent more than 100 days in hospital and, because she was, in my view, losing her will to live and was failing in the result, I brought her home even though she was palliative. In short, if she was indeed to die, she would do so at home and with family. As a result, she rallied medically and also began to regain some motor control of her left leg. While in hospital, she had feeding tubes placed in her in order to receive nutrition and medicines. During the course of this medical journey, it became quite apparent the serious gaps in the provision of health care services in our province. Gaps that, and in effect, are negative in their consequences for the population affected. Let me first say that while Kate was in hospital, she received not only medical care but also physiotherapy twice a day as a step towards her recovery and rehabilitation. When at home, she was, as a physician referral, given physio once a week as an outpatient. When I could no longer care for her at home and had her placed in complex care, she was no longer eligible for physio as an
Life of gratitude I witnessed a miracle, the quiet and hardly noticed kind of miracle I see from time to time that reminds me we are so much more than we make ourselves out to be. I watched the genuine smile and joy of a young autistic woman of barely 19 years as the kind and giving souls at First Choice Haircutters (Fruit Union Plaza) did her hair and makeup at no charge, but the miracle was just beginning. Despite a well-meaning system, this young autistic woman has done what a precious few believed she could do — to not only learn to speak, but to experience that once in a lifetime event that acts as both signpost and doorway to our adult futures – graduation from high school. It is easy to forget or look down in some way on those less fortunate than ourselves; as lost as we can be in our own “suffering” over finances, possessions, and accumulating stress. We forget the magnificent souls who
outpatient because, I was told, of government policy. I'm sure you are aware that complex care facilities do not provide rehab services. They are maintenance facilities only. In the result, there are undoubtedly, I'm sure, a sizeable population of post-stroke victims who have at least some potential to regain, at least in part, some use of their body affected by the stroke and thus gain some measure of independence and thus improved quality of life. But, instead, are being denied this potential because of the government's policies and priorities that do not provide the necessary resources. The net result is that people like my wife Kate, are in effect being written off and, as a
result, they simply vegetate and wait to die. As a result, they become simply another government stat which will be qualified and explained away as being old; suffered a debilitating stroke; bed-ridden; and eventually and expectantly, died in the result. No where in that government stat will there be a qualification that both the quality of life and indeed life expectancy could, or would have been, enhanced if rehab services had in fact been available and applied. One other serious gap and deficiency in government services for people like Kate is in those involving swallow rehab. In short, and unless the person is in hospital or there is some sort of spontaneous remission, these services are virtually nonexistent and thus of no real effect or benefit
stand often silent and unseen reminding us of how privileged we truly are. These people are reminders that we should live a life of gratitude. Gratitude for being born into a world of plenty when so many have little, gratitude for a sound mind and the ability to speak and be understood, gratitude that we have healthy bodies and opportunity where others have neither. In the short time I have known her, this young woman is more open and genuine than many I have met; more honest in her feelings, and able to communicate with a clarity words rarely offer. I wish you a wonderful future, my young autistic friend and teacher. You are beautiful, special and perfect just as you are. I wish that your life be filled with helping hands as those fantastic young women at First Choice, who rearranged their schedules and made sacrifices to accommodate freely and with shared joy.
Most of all, I wish you a world where we see your abilities despite your disability, your creativity and clarity despite your lack of proper speech, and your right to experience the fullness of life we should all share in. Sean rogders thank you I would like to thank, on behalf of the amazing kids at Alexis Park Elementary, a few locals who helped send the kids for some wonderful end of year activities. These people truly helped motivate our wonderful group of Grade 6 and 7 students towards the end of the year through their incredible teamwork and generosity. Without your incredible teamwork, our trips to Silver Star, Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park Park, and Atlantis Waterslides never would have been a reality. You have all made a difference in the lives of these students. We truly thank you for what you've done. andy Saunders, darrin hatt
to those in the community or in complex care and thus no real rehab will occur in the result. Kate's swallow is slowly coming back, but only because of her family in being with her and encouraging and allowing her swallow to develop. In short, staff shortages in this critical area mitigates against any real constructive positive outcomes. Simply stated, doing a swallow assessment every four to six weeks with no contact in between simply doesn't cut it, Madam Premier. It seems quite apparent to me, through my intimate involvement in the health care system over these past 14 months in Kate stroking, that the government's policies and priorities have contributed to serious gaps in services outlined above. And, in the result, people's quality of life and, indeed, longevity, is being seriously compromised and negatively affected. I write to inform you of these deficiencies in the hope that those same policies and priorities that have resulted in those deficiencies can in fact be reviewed and changed so those gaps will no longer exist and that sizeable population can in fact enjoy a better quality of life. They are the seniors of this province who helped build it to what it is today. We can do better for them, Premier Clark. robert (Bob) hagman (on behalf of kathleen hagman)

Sign upgrade encouraged kevin parnell
“There are exciting things happening.”
Black Press
The District of Lake Country will be asked to spend more money on improving the entrance signs to the community to make them more visible and unique, before they are installed. The district heard a presentation from its public art committee saying the signs they currently have are not big enough. The group will be asking district council to fund an improvement to the signs.
— Rob Geier
The district has signs to put up, but the art committee wants them changed before that happens. “We’ve done a fair amount of exploring of our options (on the entrance signs),” said Sharon McCoubrey, public art committee chairperson.
“It takes awhile to combine everything we want to add to the signs. We want to make them more striking and we are waiting on quotes to come in on what it will cost.” McCoubrey said a request for funding for the signs will be presented to council once
YOU AND THE LAW WHY AND WHEN TITLE INSURANCE? By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. If you’re buying a new home or recreational cabin in B.C., you might wonder if you should get title insurance. What protection do you get if you shell out the one-time premium for this? Title insurance started as a fix for problems with old-England style land transfer systems in some U.S states. It insures buyers or lenders against potential loss of title (i.e., ownership of the property you’re buying) and problems with the title. Now a billion-dollar industry in the U.S., it has also for years been available in Canadian provinces like Ontario and B.C.
So is title insurance worth it for you in B.C.? Banks like it. Recent high-level B.C. court decisions saddling mortgage lenders with the risk of mortgage fraud have given banks and lenders an incentive to get borrowers to opt for a lender’s policy. However, such a policy, though paid by you, only protects the lender. So if you’re getting a mortgage to finance your home purchase, the bank may allow you to buy a lender’s title insurance policy instead of a new survey, which could be more expensive. (Another alternative is having the bank accept a short-form “protocol” legal opinion – this too would save the survey cost and protect the lender.)
But B.C. has a government-backed, Torrensinspired land title system that “guarantees” your title. It’s like the Mercedes of land registration systems. In B.C., you can generally rely on the accuracy of the register in the Land Title Office as to who the owner is and what registrable charges are outstanding. To deal with the possibility of losing title through fraud, a provincial assurance fund pays financial compensation in appropriate cases (not an easy Kevin E. process though).
Still, you might want to consider an owner’s policy for yourself (for which you pay a separate premium). In addition to insuring your title to your new property, it would offer benefits, such as covering you in case of previously unknown defects that a new survey would have shown.
As well, title insurance would cover you for other problems you might run into – as a sampler, construction done by the previous owner(s) without proper permits (unauthorized accommodations or other “after-the-fact” improvements come to mind); zoning, land-use or building by-law infractions; and set-back problems. A new survey wouldn’t show most of these problems, which could be costly to fix.
Cherkowski
Before the arrival of title insurance here, the B.C. system worked well for many decades, and is usually considered just fine for everyday, normal transactions.
The occasional title and mortgage fraud cases get a lot of press. But they’re rare. In the last two decades, only some 17 title or mortgage fraud claims have reportedly been paid from B.C.’s assurance fund, out of 16 million real estate transactions processed by the Land Title Office. And as between innocent defrauded home owner and bank or mortgage lender, where (unbeknownst to the true owner) a fraudster transfers title to an accomplice (who then takes out a mortgage and disappears with the money), the lender now bears the risk of loss.
Kevin E. Cherkowski

While you, as a buyer, should generally get a new property survey, title insurance may also be worth it. Being an insurance product, it has exclusions. Talk to your lawyer to get a better understanding of it and find out if it’s a useful product for your particular transaction.

the final quotes are in. With the district about to undergo a drastic change to the way traffic is routed through the area with the new Highway 97 coming online this summer, McCoubrey said it is important that the entrance signs are as visible as possible as motorists drive into Lake Country. Coun. Rob Geier sits on the public art committee and says there are many great ideas about the entrance signs, they just need to focus on one. “There are exciting things happening and we have discussed a lot of the things around the Pelmewash Parkway and the entrance signs,” he said. “Nothing against flowers but there are lots of entrance signs around with flowers. We want it to be something unique and different.”
Transit funded kevin parnell Morning Star Staff
A future improvement to the main hub for B.C. Transit buses that serves the Central Okanagan is expected to cost Lake Country about $1.5 million. Council has been told it will have to foot the bill for Lake Country’s portion of plans to replace the current location in Kelowna, where busses are stored. The current warehouse and storage facility that B.C. Transit uses in Kelowna is going to have to be replaced. It was originally thought that the current facility had a life-span of 10 years left, but B.C. Transit is now saying the life span is more likely five years before the building needs to be replace. B.C. Transit is currently in plans to try to find a suitable location to replace the current one. The expected cost of the entire project is between $39 and 53 million and is expected.

The ambrosia apple will be the focus of new marketing efforts across the province.
Ambrosia gets marketing focus Morning Star Staff
A relatively new apple that is gaining popularity in B.C. and around the globe now will be introduced to even more consumers. The New Tree Fruit Varieties Development Council, a group that represents B.C. ambrosia growers, is receiving $50,000 in Buy Local program funding to help promote sales of the apple in the province. “We are proud to be leaders in growing nutritious fruit for families right here in B.C. and $50,000 will go a long way to promoting fruit producers and supporting the local economy,” said Norm Letnick, Lake Country-Kelowna MLA, in announcing the funds. The council will be using the funds to educate consumers who are interested in locally grown foods on the benefits of ambrosia apples and the ideal ways to eat and serve them. The council will offer samples and recipe ideas at upcoming farmers markets this fall. Other goals include an updated web and social media presence and a plan to introduce British Columbians to the ambrosia apple farmers who grow this variety in the Okanagan.

Funds coming to towns Morning Star Staff
Local communities are receiving financial resources from the provincial government. The money is coming from the Strategic Community Investment Fund which restructures the traffic fine revenue sharing program and small community and regional district grants. “For small communities, these funds go a long way towards maintaining important dayto-day services for local residents,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. “The money and decision-making power is in their hands to put towards priority projects that benefit their communities.” Locally, the grants are going to: Armstrong $237,580 Enderby - $205,377 Columbia-Shuswap Regional District $75,719 Regional District of North Okanagan $80,452 Coldstream $202,507 Lumby - $174,377 Vernon - $290,186 “These communities can put these funds towards day-today operations, local projects, or public safety initiatives,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. “These grants go a long way in helping municipalities continue to provide important services to local residents.”

Spall pair battle bureaucracy roger knox Morning Star Staff
No more rotting floors. No more black mould. No more mice. And, most important for a Spallumcheen couple, no more red tape. Meg and Martin Fox will soon move what Meg calls her dream home from a property on Powerhouse Road to their own property on Eagle Rock Road. It was a move they claimed was threatened by Regional District of North Okanagan bureaucracy. “We’re thrilled with the decision (by the regional district acting on a Spallumcheen motion),” said Meg. “We have been absolutely drained by all of this.” It was 25 years ago that Meg borrowed money from her dad to buy the place she’s on now, on Eagle Rock Road, which contained an old mobile home when she bought it, and continued to live in it to the point it was falling apart. It was overrun with mice, the floors were rotten and insurance for the trailer was harder to get because of its condition. Meg came into some money to pay off the trailer mortgage and buy what she calls her dream house, which is located on blocks waiting to be moved onto her property. The Foxes say they started looking into moving the new home onto their property in September 2012 and were told by RDNO officials that the biggest thing they needed to do was get an appraisal done.

“We honestly believe we haven’t been treated fairly.” — Martin Fox
A 15-page report showed the house passed its appraisal and fit into the neighbourhood. “I was thinking I’m finally getting out of this God-awful trailer,” said Meg, who said she went up to the RDNO offices and told building inspector Dave Gardiner that gas to the trailer was being cut off, that furniture was being moved out, all in preparation for the dismantling of the trailer and the move of the new home onto the property. Fox and her husband were going to live in an old fifth wheel until the new house could be moved. The day after Fox attended RDNO, she said a message from Gardiner was left on her phone answering machine saying a moving permit will not be issued as the appraisal was incorrect. “He didn’t have the decency to tell us to call RDNO,” fumed Fox over the phone message. The Foxes appealed to Spallumcheen council. “We honestly believe we haven’t been treated fairly,” said Martin. “The appraiser told me the guidelines he was given by RDNO a few years ago were not specific to our property, but that all properties were to be included in the appraisal. That doesn’t seem to be the case in our situation.” The Foxes say the assessed value of the mobile home is $33,000. In a report to Spallumcheen council dated June 11, Gardiner said it was determined at this time that the appraisal did not meet the requirements of the RDNO building bylaw. “The average value of dwellings within the area indicated in the bylaw is $244,000,” wrote Gardiner. “The bylaw requires the building being moved to be appraised at one-and-a-quarter times the average value of the neighbouring homes, or $305,000. “The appraisal values the home after the move and improvement at $145,000.” The Foxes had support from three sets of neighbours at council. Gardiner told council that what the appraiser did if there was no dwelling on a property, he took it to have zero value. Eleven neighbouring properties fit into the criteria and five of them had houses on them. “He took the five houses, added all the values and divided by 11,” said Gardiner. Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven said fixing the new home and moving it onto the property will improve everybody’s value. “Common sense needs to prevail. We’ve got a crumbling trailer here,” said Van Tienhoven. Coun. Christine Fraser motioned to send a request to RDNO asking for an amendment to the building bylaw to allow each jurisdiction to determine its own property values for the relocation of a house. RDNO directors concurred unanimously.

Legends send five to nationals Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse Association is becoming a force on the provincial sporting scene. The association has had five players named to Team B.C. squads that will compete in national championships this summer. “That’s phenomenal,” said Chris Collard, association president. “It just goes to show the depth of lacrosse in the North Okanagan, and the commitment not only from our players to qualify, but also the coaching and the association as a whole.” The association has provided each of the players with $200 bursaries to enhance their nationals experience. Netminder Troy Cuzzetto will anchor the B.C. defence at Pee Wee nationals, Aug. 4-10, in Whitby, Ont. Shelby Connors and Amy Fox have both made the Bantam girls crew, which will travel to Halifax, July 23-28. In the Midget division, the Legends are sending Brayden Hoggarth and Tom Landels to Whitby. While relentless on defence, Hoggarth and Landels generated plenty of offence for the Legends. The duo attended a selection camp that included three teams of 18 runners and two goalies each competing against each other for the
Midget Cup. Hoggarth, who is wrapping up his Grade 10 year at Pleasant Valley Secondary, and Landels, a Kal Secondary student, helped Team Vancouver go 5-2-2, with losses to Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. “I’m just looking forward to the experience,” said Hoggarth, of going to nationals. This is the second time he and Landels have tried out for the provincial team. Hoggarth said there was plenty of good competition at the selection camp. “It’s difficult because we play A2 and they (Lower Mainland) all play A1,” he said. Added Landels: “I like how they just picked the best kids. It wasn’t politics of who made the team. They actually belong on the team.” Now that they have made Team B.C., they have been traveling to Delta every couple of weeks for practice. Cuzzetto, a Len Wood Middle School student, played up a division with the Bantam Legends this season, so he is already accustomed to facing high-calibre shots. “It helps because I get harder shots, and I get better shots,” said Cuzzetto, who takes a rather pragmatic approach to goaltending. “I just take up my position and move if it’s not going to hit me.” Despite playing Bantam, Cuzzetto said he was definitely tested by the Pee Wee sharp shooters at tryouts.
“It was hard; they were all really good,” he said. “I honestly didn’t think I was going to make it.” Fox and Connors battled against one another on the Bantam B Legends boys teams, and are now looking forward to being teammates for a change. Fox, who is finishing Grade 8 at Len Wood, is excited for a step up in competition. “I’m looking forward to being on a team where I can have all the commitment,” said Fox, who also played hockey last season with the Sladen Moore Lakers Pee Wee girls Rep team. “It pushes me to be a better lacrosse player, and not just laying back and having fun. I’m really focussing on my love of the game.” Connors, a Kal student, racked up plenty of offence for the Legends, and will be counted on to do the same for Team B.C. Judging from the talent at team tryouts in Port Moody, Connors said she will have some great teammates to work with. “There were a lot of good girls there; a lot of competition,” she said. Previously, NOMLA has only had two players represent B.C. at nationals – Brett Hawrys in the Midget division, and Chelsea Weisgerber in Bantam girls. To now have five going, Collard said it is a great accomplishment for the association. He also noted four Legends

not only at the individual level, but on a team level,” he said. “That’s really what the objective is – to promote the sport in the region.”
Raiders eliminate Shamrocks to reach senior men’s final The Kelowna Raiders rallied from one-goal deficits five times before they were finally able to eliminate the Armstrong Shamrocks from the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League playoffs. The Raiders swept the Rocks after taking Game 2 of the best-of-three opening-round series 13-10 Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. They advance to the league final against the top-seeded Rattlers starting Wednesday in Kamloops. Game 2 was a chippy, see-saw affair that saw two Shamrocks ejected. Kyle Versteeg was tossed for a fiveminute boarding major in the first period. Blake Fredrickson earned a match penalty for spearing in the second.
The lead changed hands five times, and it wasn’t until Kelowna’s Victor Wiens scored his second of three goals at 15:17 of the third that either team enjoyed a two-goal cushion. Wiens scored into an empty net in the final minute. Kelowna special teams were the big difference Friday, as the Raiders pocketed five powerplay goals on 11 chances and added two shorthanded markers. Armstrong was 2-for-5 on the man advantage and had one shorty. Shamrocks’ goalie Chad Pieper made 46 saves as Kelowna outshot Armstrong 59-42. Ryan Brabander and Graham Cousins shared the win. Wiens and Pho Heng (3+2) led the Raider offence. Joe Brown (2+2), Matt Gorges (2G), Jacob Illichman (1+2), Chris Phillips and Jordan Innes also got on the scoresheet.
Steven Clark paced Armstrong with 4+1, while Brennan Plante (2G), Pat Nelson (1+2), Kriss Yargeau, Chad Pounder and Devin Rodger also chipped in on offence. Pieper, whose mom, Anita Pieper, won the 50-50 ($101), had four assists. Rodger supplied the goal of the night a minute into the second period when he took an outlet pass from Pieper at the Kelowna bench, ran over Illichman, barrelled through two defenders and beat Brabander over the left shoulder. Armstrong played without head coach Glen (Stumpy) Mitchell, who was suspended for one game after being tossed from Game 1. Assistant coach Lance MacGregor handled the bench.

United U17s fourth at provincials Morning Star Staff
Vernon United had a tough start and never recovered at the B.C. Under 17 Boys Soccer Championships in Prince George. United suffered a 2-0 loss to Terrace in their tournament opener, and then fell 2-1 to Vancouver FC. Their only goal came from Nathan Gatenby, assisted by Ben Aspenlieder. Vernon’s lone win came against Juan de Fuca, with the game’s only goal supplied by Dylan Towns, who showed aggressive and talented play all week in both midfield and on defence. United then played the Nelson Selects to a 1-1 draw. Birthday boy Nathan Gatenby accounted for Vernon’s offence. The U17 crew wound up fourth overall after a 2-1 loss to Surrey in their final match. Surrey went up 1-0 in the second half, but this was answered by Lucas Ross, who, playing on a sprained ankle, dangled several Surrey defenders and ripped a top-shelf shot past the goalie for the equalizer.
With Vernon under a lot of pressure, Surrey snuck one past keeper David Weir, who had an outstanding performance in net all week. United nearly pulled even again on several efforts, one a spectacular effort by Matt Kreutz, who narrowly missed the net. The boys showed a lot of heart, playing with a short bench for the tourney, and most of the season. Vernon’s midfield was controlled well all week with strong play by Mike Bennett, while Menno Burnet, Liam Eddy and Aspenlieder performed admirably on the back line.

Sistas bottle up Capri Morning Star Staff
The Sunterra Sistas made the most of the firsthalf wind advantage as they breezed by Capri Insurance 6-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 action Thursday night at Marshall Field #2. Miranda Dalhuisen, the ‘Assista Sista’ Playmaker of the Game, started it all by drawing Capri keeper Shelin Morin out of position before dropping to Carmen Kinniburgh, who one-timed a tap in for her first of the season. Kinniburgh then orchestrated a switch play to Deanna Baker, who blasted a high one top shelf. Dalhuisen and Kinniburgh then set up Andrea Zubot for the 8-1-1 Sistas’ third tally. Nicole Williams sent a line drive to Kim Sylvester, who sniped one from outside the 18 to complete the first-half attack. Kinniburgh, on a through ball from Amy Fitchett, and a Becky Birbilis breakaway rounded out the scoring. Sunterra’s Lesley Williams and Cassandra Otto did everything they could to score, but were either stymied by the wind, or stonewalled by Morin. Birbilis and Sarah Ehman shared the clean sheet, Amanda Gaythorpe was steady during her spell at sweeper, and Tania Wirachowsky created some great plays in midfield. Capri slipped to 3-7. The Green Rockets and Centerline Attack ran to a 3-3 draw on Marshall #4. Sasha Haddow, Sam Audley and Lindsay Smith scored for the 6-4-1 Rockets, who had a bunch of close shots. Centreline are 1-7-2. In Masters Division play Thursday, Laureen Harris turned the hat trick as the Longhorn Impact brushed back Shuswap Kaos 6-1 in Salmon Arm. Janelle Smithson, Edeen Ramsey and Denise Bourdon chipped in with singles for the first-place Impact (16-0). Lisa Boer and Suzie Andrews were standouts on the Longhorn back line, while newcomer Stacey Cover was masterful at sweeper. It was a great conditioning match for Jodi Hawthore, Ramsey, Dana Hornibrook and Andrews, who are hooking up with local teams competing at the World Masters Games, Aug. 2-11 in Torino, Italy. The Kaos are 4-7-1. The Controllers harnessed the second-half wind to post a 4-1 win over Rosters at Marshall #5.
Going into the wind in the first half, the 7-7-1 Controllers’ Jacquie Nuyens made a late run down the left side and found Jenn Spitzer, who fired one past Rosters’ keeper Peggy Warnes. Rosters (1-7-3) tied it after the break when an unmarked Daralee Morris drilled one past Mickey Templeton. Emma Louie put the Controllers in front for good on a penalty resulting from a handball. Michele Wernicke added to the lead with a 25-yarder to the top corner on a setup by Ang Durfeld. Nuyens and Spitzer combined to set up Krista Backer for a one-timer for the final tally. The Controllers got strong midfield outings from Amy Schupe, Wernicke, Nuyens and Durfeld, who was named Lady of the Match. The Vernon Chick Kickers continued to make the most of a skeleton roster as they doubled Shuswap Merlot 4-2 at Marshall #1. Crystal Bergman started off the 5-3-4 Kickers’ scoring by cashing in a rebound off an Elisha Kittsen shot from outside the box. Taking a feed from Bergman, Colline Johnson slipped through the Shuswap defence and fed Jenny Sorochuck for a low shot to the corner. Merlot (3-7-3) got on board with a free kick after fill-in goalie Bonny Mann forgot she can’t pick the ball up outside the 18. Jenny Garnett and Johnson then worked some magic in setting up a wide open Bergman for a gift-wrapped strike before the half. Merlot capitalized on a Kicker defensive miscue to start the second half, but the Chicks settled down after that. Johnson, with her first of the season, capped the scoring on a penalty. Wendy Magnus seemed to be everywhere, giving Shuswap no room to manoeuver. She had great support from stopper Robyn Sherwood and Thatyana Chay on the outside. Second-half keeper Marilyn VanderDeen was steady, and hard-working winger Tania Sladen inspired her teammates with passion and drive. In a rare Friday-nighter at Marshall #3, North Okanagan United grounded Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas 6-1. The 1-11-1 Sistas were on the ball early as they opened the scoring when Dairy Queen/Dove/ Budweiser Woman of the Match Lisa Geary sent a through ball to Diane Neudorf, who beat NOU keeper Darlene Wiese. United are 5-5-5.

The Vernon Golf & Country Club member carded a par-70 on his last round at the co-host Copper Point Golf Club to earn a share of ninth overall at 3-under (67-77-67-70) in a field of 156.
Aside from a 7-over 77 in Round 2, Stead played lights-out all week, posting 20 birdies, 38 pars and 11 bogeys over four rounds. Seaton grad Conner Kozak, now a member of the UBC Thunderbirds men’s team, shot a 3-over 73 at Copper Point to place 18th at 3-over (75-72-67-73).

Armstrong creates priorities roger knox Morning Star Staff
Public transit and solid waste. For the City of Armstrong, those are the top two regional priorities. Council was responding to a Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) request for feedback from each municipality and electoral area for federal gas tax funds that would go toward significant regional projects. The province is divided into three funding tiers which are determined by population density characteristics. Tier two is made up of eight regional districts including the North Okanagan,
of which Armstrong is a member. “They are surveying tier two communities for what we feel are regional priorities,” said Armstrong Coun. Kelly Rowe. “They want feedback from the communities of that regional district, and all of that information from the communities plus the regional district gets consolidated and that’s how the gas tax funds will be spent. “We decided public transit and solid waste are this council’s regional priorities.” Municipalities can apply for gas tax funding but the application will be scrutinized at the regional level before it is review by the gas tax management committee.

Docks removed Black Press
About 50 derelict, abandoned docks will be removed from the Salmon Arm section of Shuswap Lake, and from Mara Lake this month. These structures can create safety issues for boaters, impede public access along the shoreline and reduce the esthetic values along the waterfront. “The removal of abandoned, derelict docks is a win-win idea. Nobody wants to see these abandoned docks creating hazards to navigation, and downgrading the esthetics of beautiful Shuswap Lake, so removing them is a big benefit to everyone,” said Paul Demenok, Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process Steering Committee chairperson. “It’s also important to note that this is the only dock removal program involving SLIPP. The provincial government is behind the semi-waterfront docks initiative, which has absolutely nothing to do with SLIPP.”

Early payment for parking nears roger knox Morning Star Staff
Armstrong council is one reading away from adopting a new municipal ticketing infraction (MTI) bylaw which comes with a reward for early payment of parking tickets. Council gave three readings at its monthly July regular meeting Monday to the proposed bylaw that would see $100 parking ticket fines reduced by 50 per cent to $50 if paid within 30 days of the infraction. “By taking advantage of this provision with a 50 per cent reduction, there could be more of an incentive to pay the fine and negate attendance at a court hearing,” wrote Armstrong chief financial officer Terry Martens. In 2012, there were a total of 24 MTIs issued, 22 for parking violations, the majority of which came at the annual Interior Provincial Exhibition (there was MTI for a dog issue and one for an illegal sign). An alleged offender who receives a ticket currently has 14 days to dispute the fine in accordance with provincial legislation. The dispute process involves a provincial court hearing in Vernon with Armstrong’s bylaw enforcement officer acting as the prosecuting lawyer. Historically, the city takes part in oneto-two disputes a year.
Reducing the fine if payment is made within 30 days is a possible solution for ticket disputes. No other violation in the MTI bylaw is currently subject to a fine reduction. The proposed new bylaw contains two other amendments. There would be an addition of two fines under the water and sewer regulation establishment bylaw for $150 each for removing, tampering and/or bypassing a water meter and a backflow prevention device. A fine of $150 would be levied under the fire prevention bylaw for impeding or hindering a fire official. n Council also gave three readings to amend its unsightly premises bylaw, and to a bylaw that would allow the city annual revenue anticipation borrowing. The amendment to the unsightly premises bylaw adds a section that guides council in making a decision to exempt a property that has grass greater than the maximum allowable height of eight inches and/or has vegetation that could be considered overgrown. “Some people have beautiful, natural landscape grass that is more than eight inches,” explained Coun. Kelly Rowe. “This recommendation allows the city to make exemptions when it’s part of a

natural landscape.” In a report to council, Martens explained that many small communities are required to temporarily borrow funds to pay for lawful expenditures, especially during periods immediately prior to the annual property tax season
when cash flows are not adequate to pay for daily operating expenses. To legally borrow money, the city must adopt a revenue anticipation bylaw. Armstrong has not had to do this since 2003 because its cash flows have been more
than adequate during the months prior to tax time. “With this bylaw being adopted annually, there would be a higher level of comfort in having the legal ability to dip into the line of credit if that were ever necessary,” said Martens.

Depression is not part of aging
oredom, depression, just how strong is this link and does one necessarily lead to another? Does aging cause depression or is it the fact we have more Pat Black time on our hands and less of a purpose in life? Statistics tell us that up to one in five seniors have symptoms of depression and the rates of depression are even higher in hospitals and in long-term care homes where up to 40 per cent of residents may be experiencing depression. There is an interesting booklet available on the Canadian Coalition for Seniors Mental Health site (www.ccsmh.ca) called Depression in Older Adults: A Guide for Seniors and their Families that I found most helpful. If you have experi-
personal best
enced depression you know how debilitating it can be and how it can totally affect your life. Depression, despite the common concept, is not a natural part of aging, although life situations can certainly accelerate the condition. Chronic pain, losing a loved one, lack of money, lack of opportunities, poor housing, and poor social skills can contribute but the good news is symptoms can be successfully treated in almost all cases. Depression is more than having a bad day or feeling a little “blue.” Depression can be described as feelings of sadness, hopelessness and a loss of interest or pleasure in things you usually like to do. This is sometimes triggered by stressful events in a person’s life that impact their state of mind, their health, or their ability to connect with other people. However, sometimes it can happen for no apparent reason. When a person is severely (i.e. clinically) depressed, the chemicals in his or her brain may be
out of balance. Other symptoms often include sleep and appetite changes and anxiety. You might be worried about depression if you’ve felt this way for a couple of weeks or longer. If you think you, or a friend or family member may be depressed see your doctor for advice. This brings me back to the question of boredom and its relationship to depression. One of the many ways to cope with depression is to find meaningful and quality activities that give you satisfaction and joy. We need to look for activities that we are passionate about and that challenge us. Maybe learning a new instrument or taking up another language we always wanted to learn. Becoming a volunteer and helping out others can also give us a purpose. We need to look at our abilities and think how they could benefit others while being of benefit to ourselves. Check out the Volunteer Bureau in Vernon for opportunities. We are also fortunate to have two seniors’ centres in
Vernon to access, the Schubert Centre and the Halina Centre. Both offer myriad programs, games and activities that we can plug into to meet other people and develop social connections, which is another strong tool to counteract depression. Take the first step and give one or the other a try. Also consider taking courses to learn a new hobby or pursue a long-standing interest. Okanagan College and most universities offer free interest courses for seniors and there are some online courses available free of charge as well. A correction about the times of the Farmers’ Market is in order thanks to several of my readers. The Monday/ Thursday market hours are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Friday Night Farmers’ Market is 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. My informants tell me raspberries are now in abundance with apricots soon to follow.

Celebrating 50 years of marriage, Vladimar and Vera Tarasenko of Vernon were surrounded by family and friends during a special celebration. They were born in Kulja, China and immigrated to South Australia around 1960. The couple exchanged marriage vows in Adelaide, South Australia June 29, 1963. They had four sons in Australia from 1965 to 1972. In 1976, they immigrated to Canada, settling in Vernon in 1976. Their first daughter was born here in 1984. They raised their family here in Canada and haven’t had any desire to move anywhere else since.
Excellence
A new study indicates yet another benefit of living in health-conscious B.C. The recent findings from the Ontario Brain Institute support the belief that physical activity can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease or manage the progression of the most common form of dementia. It is also a reminder for British Columbians that there is help to proactively maintain brain
health through the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Age being the greatest known risk factor, the findings support the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s position that actively keeping your brain in good shape can help you stay mentally sharp as you age,” says Jean Blake, CEO at the society. “There are many healthy activities that can be easily incorporated into a person’s daily routines
and we encourage everyone to get started as soon as possible.” The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Healthy Brain program can help British Columbians to do that. Available online, the program guides an individual with ways to prioritize health goals that incorporate activities for mind, body and spirit. For more information, see www. alzheimerbc.org.

School proceeds in Lake Country KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
An interim middle school will open in portable classrooms in Lake Country in the fall of 2014. The Central Okanagan School District has decided to relocate Grade 7 students from three elementary schools into portables at George Elliot Secondary. That will create what the school board is calling an interim Grade 7-8 middle school program for 2014/15. “The bottom line is we don’t have enough room in our elementary schools to handle the enrollment,” said Deb Butler trustee Deb Butler. The school board approved the relocation last month and sent a letter home to parents laying out the plans. The board has also already acquired the portable classrooms and located them at George Elliot, something that set off alarm bells in the community, which had previously heard the district was going to build a new school. “The portables are the compromise no one wanted,” said Butler. “But they are a compromise so we can create a separate space for Grade 7 and 8s so they have their own space. They will go into the high school for specialty programs but for the most part they will have their own space.” Butler says the board is doing what it feels is the best for the community and there will be more public consultation over the next 14 months before the portables open. “We don’t have any intention of moving kids into the portables right away,” she said. “One way or another we need another school. But you just can’t snap your fingers and make it happen. You have to go through the process.” The school board has an interim agreement to purchase the Aspen Grove Golf Course for a future middle school once the provincial government approves the capital expenditure.

Growing and packing fruit for the world Linda Jenkins Special to The Morning Star
This former fruit storage and packing house at 3203-28th St. has served the community for more than 100 years. It has gone through many incarnations, being built in 1913 to serve as a storage and shipping facility for the Vernon Fruit Union. The industrial frame vernacular building is now known in part as the Case Furniture Gallery which has the south two thirds, and as Briteland Holdings in the north one third. The building is one of the earlier examples of storage and packing house facilities as used in the Okanagan. The building stored all manner of produce, from potatoes and onions to fruit and other vegetables. There was also an elevator and conveyor belt system to move the produce from floor to floor. With the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks running right by the rear of the building, it was easy to load the boxcars from the storage. The property was originally part of the CPR stockyards in the early years until it was leased for the storage-packing house about 1920. First use was by the Vernon Storage Company, an affiliate of the Vernon Fruit Union. This was followed by the Mutual Fruit Company in the late ‘20s and by Browne-Lander in the ‘30s. It appears to have been purchased by Dolph Browne in 1942 when he operated the packing house and was utilized by him until 1960. About that time Archie Fleming Wholesale occupied the south end. Antique Imports followed in part of the building, and was further followed by Sandy’s New and Used Furniture. Briteland Farm Supplies moved into their end in 1985. Case Furniture Gallery and the Case family took over in 2009 in the part they are now occupying. Commercial fruit growing was started in the Okanagan in the early 1890s with Lord and Lady Aberdeen on their Coldstream Estates. By 1893 Lord Aberdeen had 900 acres under cultivation and other farmers were soon buying the subdivided lands and were planting out orchards. Add to this the Land and Agricultural Company’s large acreage in the BX District. Very quickly the sheer volume of fruit being produced required storage facilities to be created, and markets found for the produce. Fruit and produce, including hay, was shipped to mining towns in the Kootenays and the Prairies. In the 1890s peaches were fed to the hogs since there was no way to bring the fruit to the market. In the ‘20s the fruit was so plentiful that the markets were flooded. Co-operative marketing came onto the scene and this too experienced many

The fruit storage and packing house on 28th Street has served the community for more than 100 years and the building is now home to Case Furniture at one end and Briteland at the other. problems and failures. Gradually the storage facilities were improved and strict quality grading gave the Okanagan fruit access to markets in the U.K., the States and Canada. Fruit growing used to be the Okanagan’s main economic driver. One of the cultural footnotes that came out of shipping fruit in wooden, 40-pound boxes, was the colourful labels used to identify the product. Between 1910 and 1965, the fruit was shipped with beautifully designed paper labels affixed to a box end; they were a distinctive and colourful depiction of life in the Okanagan. Some brands used were Silver Star by A. T. Howe, Ogopogo Brand by B.C. Fruit Shippers, and the OK Brand used by the Vernon Fruit Union and the Associated Growers of B.C. The Valley’s main overseas market was the United Kingdom, and terms denoting the Empire were British Columbia Apples, Canadian Apples, and the use of a star symbol with EMPIRE imprinted thereon. Who would have thought that shipping apples to parts unknown would have the effect of bringing new settlers looking for a more interesting lifestyle to the Okanagan. Transportation started to change after the Second World War with the advent of trucking and the new highways. Along with this came tourists and fruit stands. In 1976, more than 60 per cent of valley peaches were marketed by fruit stands. With improved road access to the Okanagan, tourists were flooding in to enjoy our climate and lakes,
our fruit products, and our enviable lifestyle. The Okanagan became a mecca for retirement living, and the increased need for more land to build housing forced the orchardists to cut back on production. Land in orchards has declined 10 per cent each decade since 1960. The high cost of land, and the conversion to housing and industry, has further pushed the orchardists’ ability to make a viable living at growing fruit. Dennis and Marion Case, and daughter Jody with husband Brad Swartz bought the old packing house in 2009. The family has a long record of running successful businesses in the community, having previously owned Ashley Furniture Stores in Enderby and Kelowna. The family undertook a complete renovation of the building, a massive undertaking requiring a total overhaul of all the plumbing, electrical wiring systems, repouring and leveling three floors of concrete, re-insulating, and modernizing the systems. Great effort was put into retaining the charm and original architectural details. The original exposed posts and beams were restored, and interior brickwork preserved. There are many places where workers have carved their initials into the beams, or the wood is notched with imprints of where the workers held their knives. Even two original walk-in safes that were bricked into the wall are still on display. Original apple boxes, and the haybaler, and the elevators and conveyor belts were donated to the historical society.
The renovation took almost a year, and now the building is open for business as Case Furniture Gallery. It is a stunning example of how a solid building can be restored and retain its charm and purpose. Dennis Case says he has always liked old buildings with character, and also was attracted to the industrial look of the building which is much in vogue today. The building’s original character and strength has inspired a wonderful transformation for a modern business, that will be part of Vernon’s landscape for many years to come. The building turns 100 years old this year, so drop in and enjoy a tour of Case Furniture Gallery, dressed up in a fine new (old) style. Linda Jenkins is with the Heritage Advisory Committee of Vernon. This article was edited by Ken Ellison, with assistance from the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives staff.

When You Can’t Take Them With You
…bring them here for good times and great care!
With all of today’s technological advances designed to save people time, it would stand to reason that people are more relaxed than ever. Not so, according to Marc Tey. The Vernon healer and therapist said people are in fact suffering from more stress, fear and illness than ever before. “When I moved to Vernon from Toronto 34 years ago, you never heard about home invasions, bank robberies or seniors being mugged on the street, not to mention all of the natural disasters in the world, now you see and hear about these things all the time,” said Tey, who looks much younger than his 70 years, and ran a kung fu club in Vernon for many years. “Our problem is we are always looking outside and not inside, but we attract the energy that we give. “If you send out negative energy, you attract negative people into your life, so we know that, but we don’t know how to make it go away. To help guide people towards slowing down and healing, Tey is offering a weekly meditation workshop starting Thursday. “The ancient Chinese believe that your physical body energy, astral body
“Once you learn how to meditate, you can guide yourself.” — Marc Tey energy, casual body energy and the universal energy are inter-related,” said Tey. “If everybody could put aside around 30 minutes a day for meditation to give ourselves, our family, friends, neighbours, city, province, country, the world and the universe unconditional love, we could help to reduce the crime and make Mother Nature more peaceful as well.” As an internationally renowned workshop leader and lecturer, Tey applies methods of therapy that help people free themselves from what holds them back. His work is always presented in a loving and gentle way which provides warmth and safety for everyone present. “I’d like to share my knowledge by teaching people who would like to learn the technique of healing themselves and at the same time we will heal our community and our universe,” said Tey, who has studied under five masters.
“Every individual is part of the universe, what we call energy.” He said the foundation of Transcendental Meditation is that if just one per cent of the population can keep sending love to their surroundings, everything will be different. “We have to heal our bodies by increasing the immune system and the energy. The purpose is to help every individual, when you help yourself, you help your community and if everybody does that, you change the energy. And affirmation is also one of the tools we should use every day.” Drop-in meditation will be held every Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Trinity United Church, but Tey stresses this is not a religious event in any way. The sessions will include basic yoga to help participants release tensions from their everyday activities, followed by 30 minutes of meditation to help let go of all of the negative

I teach the correct breathing technique. It’s like kung fu: in the movies, they show you the moves, but they don’t teach you where it comes from. When you increase your energy, you help the immune system. It will help the energy in the body. “And once you learn how to meditate, you can guide yourself.” The best time to meditate, said Tey, is first thing in the morning or before you go to bed, while adding that the best time for meditation is also anytime it fits into your schedule. One of Tey’s favourite quotes is by Canadian-born author and mystic Manly Palmer Hall: “Enlightened unconditional love is the universal medicine.” Everybody is welcome, and the cost is by donation. Participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a blanket or mat, and water to drink. The class will run every Thursday except holidays.

The Artists at The Seasons, Linda Byrt, left, Margaret McSweeney, Linda Dorion, Sandra Rogers and Fran Evans, get ready for the arts and craft sale at The Seasons’ clubhouse on Okanagan Landing Road, Saturday, July 20.
Art for all Seasons Morning Star Staff
They are the opposite of fairweather friends. First of all, they meet indoors, but more fittingly, they share a common interest in art. And, most importantly, they support one another. For the past two months, artists Margaret McSweeney and Sandra Rogers have been meeting with fellow artists and those new to painting in the clubhouse at their residential community, The Seasons, which overlooks Okanagan Lake. Under McSweeney’s instruction, the group, which calls itself the Artists at the Seasons, has been learning the brush strokes and nuances of painting in acrylics. Although McSweeney has no formal training as an instructor, she is an accomplished artist and has been demonstrating the use of acrylic paints and all the associated mediums, moldings, and gels that go along with it. Some of the group’s resulting work is going on exhibition in the clubhouse at The Seasons on Saturday, July 20. “Sandra and I have been painting for years so we thought, why not see if we can get something going at The Seasons?,” said McSweeney, who paints primarily in oils and acrylics, and says her inspiration comes from
nature and the vastness of colour that surrounds her. “My goal is to bring this beauty, wildlife, and outdoors to your home through my paintings,” she said. Rogers, who started painting after retiring, now dabbles in watercolours, oils, pastels and acrylics, working in a loose, free style. “I find it amazing to paint for three hours and realize I have become so absorbed in the work that my mind is released from all the noise and chatter of day-to-day life,” she said. The Seasons exhibition will feature both arts and crafts, shown by both experienced and new artists in the community. Items include a large selection of paintings, in all mediums, plus quilts, handbags, photographs, woodwork and other crafts. A percentage of the profits from the show will be donated to the OK Quality of Life Society to help them purchase a new “Heaven Can Wait” boat to replace the old one, which has been taking clients around Okanagan Lake for several years. All are welcome to attend Saturday’s event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. The Seasons clubhouse is located at 7760 Okanagan Landing Rd. For more information, contact Rogers at 778-475-3694.
The Caetani Cultural Centre is about to buzz with activity when the first art market of the season, Viva d’Arte, takes place Saturday, July 20. Those who wander through the majestic Caetani gardens can take in original works by accomplished artists, galleries, performers, and other creative types, while enjoying refreshments such as Italian soda and frozen cappuccino. “Viva d’Arte is shaping up to be a must see-event for art enthusiasts in the North Okanagan,” said Marie Petrucci, the Caetani Centre’s new art and culture coordinator. Participants Saturday include Caetani resident and studio artists Melissa Dinwoodie, Destanne Norris and Virginia Dansereau, as well as Gaye Schultheis, Boho Chic and Beautiful, Jim McKillop, Vicki Hunter, Anita Lynn Herbert, Ron West, Sheila Campbell, Ashpa Naira Gallery, Tanya Strichert and Kara Barkved. Each participating artist is juried, so as to ensure excellence, added Petrucci. “The objective is to provide a fabulous and interactive venue in which local artists can exhibit and sell their work. The feeling we want to convey surrounding the markets is one of high quality, sophistication, yet something that is fun and accessible to all,” she said. Artists in the community are welcome to apply to be a part of the markets, which also take place Aug. 17 and Sept. 21. All run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition to vendors, this

Vernon artists Ryan Ryan and Michelle Loughery, former residents of the Caetani house, will be battling head-to-head to create a portrait of Sveva Caetani at 11 a.m. at the first Caetani art market, Saturday, July 20. Saturday’s art market will see current international artist-inresidence, Ellen Rogers, demonstrate her sculpture techniques and talk about her residency. At 11 a.m., a paint-off between former Caetani residents Ryan Ryan and Michelle Loughery will start. Both will be battling headto-head to create a portrait of Sveva Caetani, interpreted however they choose. “Audience participation in voting for the People’s Choice will be rewarded with a door prize sponsored by Athena Custom Framing. Canvases and art supplies have generously been donated by Nadine’s Fine Art and Frames, and funds raised will support the Caetani Centre,” said Petrucci. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Caetani resident Christine Pilgrim will be offering historical tours of the grounds. Included are the fascinating stories of the Caetani family. Cost for a tour is $2/person or $7/family. And from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Renee Leveille from Baby Bliss Photography will be offering a professional portrait session to raise funds for the Caetani Centre. For
$20 customers will have the option of one retouched image file. “Bring the kids, or pose with friends. Have fun with the props and make a memory that is sure to be cherished for years,” said Pertucci. And that’s not all. The Caetani Centre is a stop on the Open Studio Art Trails, as studio artists from around Vernon open their creative work spaces the same day as the market. Studios involved this Saturday include Baby Bliss Photography, Colleen Couves (visual artist), and Devon Muhlert (musician), all at the Caetani grounds. Ed and Debbie Goodon, June Seed, Virginia May, Denise Patrick, Susan Patrick will show their work at Metal Dream Design, while Linda Wadley is also opening her home-based studio. The Caetani Centre will provide maps to all the participants, and encourage people to travel from studio to studio around Vernon and area between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., said Petrucci.

Tonto (Johnny Depp) wonders why The Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) is wearing such a stupid hat. strong. You can tell who the bad guys are right away, you can see all the plot lines at least 15 minutes before they happen, and they didn’t use the quality actors like Tom Wilkinson or Helena Bonham Carter nearly enough. But saying that, it didn’t bother me or spoil the enjoyment. TAYLOR: Pocket watch mementos of past wrongdoings, the building of America via rail expansion, the blowing up of bridges, corrupt politicians with goons in their pockets, savvy prostitutes, ugly evildoers, we’ve seen it all before.

I don’t know who this film is for, because fans of The Lone Ranger are dead. Fans of the western genre have seen it all before and it’s too adult a movie for kids. So although it’s not bad, it’s not nearly awesome enough to succeed. Thus, Disney prepares to take another hundred million dollar bath. Too bad? Not really. Who cares? Exactly. Taylor gives The Lone Ranger 3 copies of the Treatises of Government out of 5. Howe gives it 3 feedings out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Those wanting to be a part of one of the largest music festivals in the B.C. Interior now have a chance. The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is currently seeking volunteers for this year’s 21st annual Roots and Blues Festival, taking place at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds, Aug. 16 to 18. “The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is a non-profit group that brings in wonderful musical talent every year and puts on, with the help of approx. 900 volunteers, the Roots and Blues Festival in Salmon
Arm. This festival brings a lot of people to the area and benefits everyone,” said Sandra Huet, assistant volunteer coordinator. The festival is currently in need of at least 100 volunteers to serve as security/ambassadors (the largest volunteer area), as well as those to help with parking, administration (office skills and money handling), camping, set up/tear down, the volunteer party, performer transport (must have a class 4 license or higher), and merchandising (cashier, sales skills). Volunteers are required to give a 16-hour minimum commitment, with four hours dedicated to those in the set up /tear down area (new volunteers will do a tear-down shift). “Twelve hours will be split into three four-hour shifts, one on each day of the festival,” said Huet.
All volunteers will receive three-day entrance to the festival, a volunteer T-shirt, snacks and drinks at the volunteer lounge, one meal each day at one of the food vendors on site, and plenty of time to enjoy the festival and listen to some fantastic music, added Huet. Some of the artists performing at this year’s festival include Bruce Cockburn, Daniel Lanois, City and Colour, A Tribe Called Red, Harry Manx, Berlinski Beat, Ky-Mani Marley, Mississippi Heat, Skatch Bastid, Shred Kelly, The Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer, and so many others. New volunteers need to fill out an application form, while both new and former volunteers need to fill out a waiver. Forms are available at www.rootsandblues.ca, or at the office, located 490 5th Ave. SW, Salmon Arm, or call 250-833-4096.

More music at Gatzke’s Morning Star Staff
After holding the groovin’ Woodstock Revival Festival last weekend, Gatzke Orchards is bringing live music events to its Big Blue Stage throughout the summer. “Alan Gatzke and GO Events have been big supporters of Canadian music, especially sharing the stage with local artists. This year they are showcasing great talent from across the country,” said Joseph Pinheiro, event coodinator at Gatzke’s. The first artist to take Big Blue Stage, July 21, is Matt Masters, a guitar playing songwriter of original country and western music hailing from Calgary, Alta. “Matt is a great storyteller and a bit of a historian when it comes to Western Canada,” said Pinheiro. Next up is Shannon Lyon, who is currently on his Canadian summer tour, which will bring him to the Big Blue Stage July 28. One of Canada’s most prolific indie songwriters, Lyon has released 10 studio albums. After spending the last decade living and touring in Europe, he has returned back to his Canadian roots. Lyon plans to set up a recording studio in the Kootenays at the end of his summer tour. Word is out and Okanagan fans are excited to have Vancouver’s The Boom Booms back at Gatzke’s Aug. 18. The band just finished recording sessions with Grammy winning producer Chin Injeti. “This energetic sextet is going to make you shake it when they bring their feel-good rhythms to the Big Blue Stage,” said Pinheiro. And on Sept. 1, Vancouver Island’s Shane Philip is bringing back his positive vibes to the stage. “Shane is a local favourite at the Gatzke Orchards and an incredible multi-instrumentalist entertaining audiences with his folk, reggae, blues-infused music everywhere he travels,” said Pinheiro.

Live Well HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist IAN JOHNSTONE
Drug resistance is one of the most serious problems developing in health care now and will be into the future. Much of this is due to the over use of antibiotic drugs in some countries where people expect a pill for every ill they see the doctor about. Often this isn’t needed. Antibiotics are to be used only for true infections. Don’t feel bad if you demand a smoke-free hotel room when you travel. The idea of third-hand smoke is a real one. The term was coined a few years ago and refers to the residue that smoking leaves on carpets, sofas, walls and clothing. It doesn’t go away easily. The danger is much smaller than second-hand smoke but the exposures to third-hand smoke can be longer. How can you discourage mosquitoes from biting you? Avoid fragrant soaps and body lotions; avoid bright, floral-coloured clothing. Stick to the dull ones. Cover as much of your body as comfortably possible … less area to bite and get rid of body sweat because mosquitoes like that. Signing up to be an organ donor makes good business sense for saving health care dollars. For example, it costs over $70,000 per year to maintain one person on kidney dialysis. The initial cost of a kidney transplant is nearly $100,000 then followup treatment and medication costs under $22,500 yearly. In the long run, organ transplant saves a lot of money. Have you signed up to be a donor? The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. Let one of them serve you soon.

Falkland biologist and avid hunter Dean Trumbley is part of a new hunting and fishing show, Trigger Effect, currently being shown on Wild TV and the Hunting Channel online.
Local triggered for reality show Morning Star Staff
A biologist by day, Dean Trumbley can’t wait to get out in the bush to observe nature in all its glory. Trumbley, who was born and raised in Vernon, is currently appearing as a host and biology expert on the hunting/fishing TV show entitled Trigger Effect, which airs Canadawide on Wild TV and also throughout the world on the U.S.-based The Hunting Channel online. Trigger Effect showcases hunting and fishing adventures from all over the world with a main focus on the B.C. outdoors, said Trumbley, adding some of the episodes have been filmed within driving distance of the North Okanagan. “I am excited to showcase our beautiful province and most importantly the North Okanagan where I grew up,” he said. Now residing in Falkland, Trumbley currently works in Salmon Arm, but has been a professional wildlife and fisheries biologist throughout Canada and also dabbled in the big game guiding industry. Vernonites may also recognize his family’s name. He is the grandson of Smokey
Trumbley, who in the 1970s/’80s used to be an outdoor columnist for The Vernon Daily News, as well as a radio host on CJIB (now Kiss FM) and CKAL (Sun FM). “He even dabbled in TV,” said Trumbley, adding, “I am not just fulfilling a dream of my own but carrying on a legacy of my family, especially my grandfather, who had a real passion for the outdoors.” The first episode of Trigger Effect went out on national airwaves on July 1. “Season one features 13 episodes that cover outdoor adventures in B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Zealand, and is being seen in more than 11 million households just in Canada alone,” said Trumbley. Produced by Thunder Boyz Productions Inc., Trumbley and the crew have already started filming season two of Trigger Effect and says he looks forward to continuing to showcase the great outdoors. “Many of the TV show sponsors are local businesses, which is also another priority of TBPI,” he said. More information on Trigger Effect and Thunder Boyz Productions is available at www.triggereffect.tv or www.thunderboyz.ca.

Valley Auction celebrates 50 years roger knox Morning Star Staff
You don’t stay in business 50 years without building a good reputation. And for Spallumcheen’s Valley Auction, which celebrates its 50th birthday this month, its reputation continues to grow. Valley Auction was recently named winner of the Canadian Angus Association’s Auction Market of the Year, which was presented at the Livestock Market Association of Canada annual convention in Calgary. The Spallumcheen auction market won for its work promoting Angus and Angus-cross cattle. “Well, the timing was perfect with this being our 50th year. It’s a great honour, very prestigious,” smiled Don Raffan, 59, in his office at Valley Auction adjacent to Highway 97A beside Tolko. Raffan operates the business along with younger brother, Peter, 47. Cattle have always been the main focus of Valley Auction. It started that way when Raffan’s father, Jim, and partner Bill Tompson bought Spallumcheen Auction in July 1963. The pair changed the business’ name to Valley Auction in 1964. A new 9,100-square foot building was built on the current location in 1979 and officially opened Jan. 3, 1980. The company sold a then-record 31,260 cattle in 1988, and have sold as many as 58,000 head in a year. “We once had 2,200 head at a calf sale that went until three in the morning, and the last of the cattle sold for higher than the first cow sold,” laughed Peter. Added Don: “One time we had more than 20 cattle trucks lined up in a row to pick up the cattle. It was a beautiful sight
“Our customers and us all know each other.” — Don Raffan
and we stayed until we loaded the very last cow.” The Raffans say the period from 1980 to 2002 was the heyday for the company, selling thousands of heads of cattle and herds of horses. The new building opened in 1980 was built three times larger than the original metal building (which is still on site) to facilitate the crowds, which were always overflowing. A seat in the auction arena couldn’t be found, nor could a spot in Valley Auction’s parking lot. Cars and trucks were lined up and down Highway 97A for a sale day. Things began to change for the company and the auction business in 2003, the year the U.S. closed its border to Canadian beef. The days of selling 175 to 200 head of cattle a week are gone. In 2012, Valley Auction sold 13,000 head of cattle. “We’re just starting to see the repercussions of that border closure now,” said Don. “It’s had a huge effect on our business. We’ve lost so many producers and small farms. Where people wanted to have cattle once, now they don’t want them.” “The last couple of years have been demoralizing, and that includes talking with other people in the industry,” said Peter. Still, the Raffans and Valley Auction persevere.
The company that has produced four Canadian and world champion auctioneers (the Raffans, Keith Dinwoodie, Rod Burnett) sells horses, poultry, produce, machinery and conduct on-site farm auctions. There are two Thursday sales this summer, July 18 and Aug. 22, featuring farm and garden sales at 9 a.m., goats, hogs and sheep at 10:30 a.m. and cattle at 11 a.m. There are five-full time staff members, and the number swells to between 25 and 35 on sale days. And that includes Margaret Raffan, 86, Don and Peter’s mom. “She comes every sale day,” said Don. “She was part of the business until my dad passed away in 1984. She takes the customers coffee, puts the sheets in, helps the girls in the office. Everybody loves to see her.” And everybody, it seems, still loves Valley Auction. The Raffans get good wishes from former ArmstrongSpallumcheen residents when they’re conducting sales in Alberta or Saskatchewan, or people from the Prairies will pop into a sale at Valley Auction and say they saw the Raffans plying their trade in their neck of the woods. The Douglas Lake Ranch – Canada’s oldest operating ranch located west of Westwold – and the Chilco Ranch west of Williams Lake, both privately owned, sell their cattle through Valley Auction. “We have very loyal customers locally, and loyal customers who come from a long way away,” said Peter. “I still get excited to go and sell. That’s the fun part of the job.” Said Don: “We’re people-people. We love people. Our customers and us all know each other and from generation to generation we have done business together.”

The Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation has made some changes to its operations. John Kingsmith is leaving as chief executive officer and he will be replaced by Keith Carlson, a board member who was chairperson of the plant breeders’ rights management company. “My focus will be on business development and client satisfaction,” said Carlson. Office operations of PICO will be co-located in Summerland with the B.C. Fruit Growers Association and the two organizations plan to share some common services. “These changes are being driven by cost reduction and efficiency gains mandated by the BCFGA board,” said Jeet Dukhia, BCFGA president and Vernon orchardist. “While PICO is profitable, we want to ensure it has the greatest possible benefit for B.C. and Canadian growers, as well as be efficient in the

Staccato cherries are among the varieties promoted by the Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation.
PICO administers technical, legal and contractual items for the owners of the new fruit varieties and assists in ensuring the commercial success of promising new varieties of tree fruits and berries within the context of a Canada first policy. It also operates a budwood orchard that provides growers with true-to-type, virus-indexed budwood for grafting and supports scientific research and development in support of the tree fruit industry. PICO is currently agent for some of the most successful varieties in the world, including the ambrosia apple and staccato cherries. PICO is also agent for promising new varieties such as the salish apple (released in 2012) and the sentennial cherry variety. The BCFGA is an agriculture association with a membership of 550 commercial tree fruit growers in the province. It celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2014.

President’s Choice Children’s Charity granted more than $1.1 million in B.C. in 2012 to help children live to their full potential. Grants went toward supporting B.C. families whose children have physical or developmental disabilities, as well as nutrition pro-
grams aimed at fighting childhood hunger. The cost of administration and operations of the charity is funded by Loblaw Companies, ensuring 100 per cent of every dollar donated goes to the cause. Loblaw banners in B.C. include Real Canadian Superstore, Wholesale Club, Extra
Foods, SuperValu, Your Independent Grocer and nofrills. A total of 81 grants were provided for children with disabilities, typically supporting the purchase of assistive devices, vehicle adaptations, developmental and physical therapy, camp tuition, home improvements and
respite care. One of the largest corporate charities in Canada, it also supported 376 provincial nutrition programs, which helped more than 21,000 children across the province through its grants to Breakfast for Learning and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.
“We are very proud of the way Loblaw banner stores and their colleagues, customers and vendors have come together to raise funds for organizations and programs that are changing children’s lives and contributing to the health and wellness of our communities,” said director Marlin Krieger.

Spellbound over glaciers margaret deefholts Special To The Morning Star
ALASKA - A ripping sound, followed by a crackle, and the crowd holds its breath. A thick chunk crumbles and falls off the crenellated wall of ice with a thunderous roar, raising a spume of gray and brown flecked spray. A moment later, another whip-crack reverberates on the afternoon air, and further along the glacier front a second sliver breaks free and disappears into a foam of churning green water. A collective “Aaah” shudders along the ship’s rails. Like the other passengers paused before the Margerie Glacier in Alaska’s Glacier Bay, I am spellbound by what the Tlingit Indians call “white thunder.” I am also reduced to ant-like proportions before a mass of ice rising two hundred and fifty feet above the surface of Tarr Inlet. Silhouetted against a cerulean sky, the glacier is a fantastical sculpture of castle turrets, spires, battlements and ramparts. Stray fingers of sunlight, find their way into fissures, transforming the ice into turquoise crystal caves. Further away, to the right of the Margerie, the Grand Pacific Glacier cascades down the mountainside like an unfurled bolt of white satin. Glacier Bay National
NatioNal park service digital image archives photo
A boat approaches a chunk of ice in Glacier Bay. Park encompasses a tracery of fjords winding through 3,280,000 acres of primordial Alaskan wilderness. Our ship travels past four of its 16 active tidewater glaciers: the Margerie, the Lamplugh, the Grand Pacific and the Reid glaciers. The Reid Glacier from a distance resembles the ruffled jabot of a dandy at the court of Louis XVI, but as we move in closer the “ruffles” turn into jagged chasms, some of which fall precipitously to a depth of 80 feet. The water streaming by our aft deck is flecked with popcorn-like blobs of icebergs, but as we progress deeper into the fjord these become larger, and take on a blue-fire translucence — blown-glass sculptures which, with a little imagination, become long necked swans and leaping ballerinas. As we make our
way along Tarr Inlet on this sun-drenched May afternoon, the public address system on the aft deck crackles to life. “Folks, take a look at the lower slopes of the mountain on the starboard side…you’ll see a couple of mountain goats.” At this distance the goats are gray-white balls against a furze of brown gorse and, absorbed in their meal of spring-tender lichen, they are oblivious to the sound of clicking cameras. A little later, the dorsal fin of an Orca causes a stir along the deck railings on the port side. In a split second of magnificence, the whale surfaces, breaches and disappears below the waters with a flourish of its tail flukes. Further along a shoreline, a bald eagle soars on the wind. Moose, wolves, wolverines, lynx, Sitka black-tailed deer, marten and mink all inhabit Glacier Bay’s pristine
wilderness. Grizzlies too prowl through these forests, but for now they remain curled in hibernation, for the wind blowing hard across our ship’s deck still carries the bitter chill of winter on its breath. Looking out across the glinting waters, it is hard to believe that when Captain Vancouver arrived here in 1794 this arm of Glacier Bay was locked in ice to a depth of 4,000 feet. In the space of 200 years, some of these glaciers have retreated at the astonishing rate of ten feet a day. Geologists have determined, however, that the advance and retreat of glaciers is cyclical and, global warming aside, it is conceivable that this
fjord we are now cruising through could, in the distant future, be an ice-field once more. Later that evening, I stand on the aft deck and watch the setting sun turn the sky to copper. Chiffon trails of cloud wreathe the blushed snow-capped peaks. Other than the wash of water against our hull, the dusk brings with it a silence, accentuating the harsh beauty of these desolate towering mountains. Their immensity evokes awe which borders on the mystical. Perhaps that’s why the Hoonah Indians centuries ago, called it, the abode of God. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Manual meter readings to cost tom fletcher Black Press
Energy Minister Bill Bennett says there are about 60,000 B.C. Hydro customers who are still resisting installation of wireless electricity meters, and he wants the utility to offer them manual meter readings, for a price. “What we’re contemplating at this point is that maybe we can deliver a digital meter that has the radio turned off,” said Bennett. “We just feel that we don’t want to bully people into taking the smart meter if they don’t want it.” Modifying the meters for different customers and sending out human meter readers would generate costs that should not be borne by the vast majority of customers who accepted wireless meters, Bennett said.
black press photo
Digital meters are tested by researchers at a B.C. Hydro lab. He offered no estimate of the cost, but predicted that more people will drop their opposition rather than pay for extra service. Bennett said he agrees with B.C.’s medical health officer that signals from wireless meters are not a health haz-
ard, but he doesn’t want them forced on people who believe otherwise. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased the government has finally agreed with his position that people should be given another option. But he wants the issue
referred to the B.C. Utilities Commission to set the price, so customers aren’t “gouged” to pay for other cost overruns at the utility. “We said before the election that an opt-out provision was appropriate,” Horgan said. “It’s done in other jurisdictions. Quebec is leading the way here in Canada. It’s about time.” With 96 per cent of wireless meters installed, customers in some areas are receiving daily usage information on their B.C. Hydro customer web pages. Smart meters send a radio signal equivalent to a brief mobile phone call to report usage, and also signal when power is interrupted. Digital meters also detect when they are tampered with, and the quality of electrical supply.

Pot laws may be part of recall campaign tom fletcher Black Press
Elections B.C. has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminalizing marijuana possession. Larsen has proposed that B.C. go around the federal law with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax. Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections B.C. to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures. Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before seeking the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible B.C. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of reg-
istered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. If that threshold is reached, Elections B.C. would hold a provincewide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the harmonized sales tax. Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former B.C. Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado. The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected B.C. Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election. Larsen has had a
colourful career, including editor of Vancouverbased Cannabis Culture magazine and co-founder of the
Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, poppies, peyote and coca. Larsen resigned as
an NDP candidate in the 2008 federal election, after videos surfaced showing his drug use a decade earlier.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There’s a good chance you might be a shade too opinionated for your own good. Although you might feel that you’re making an impression, it’s the wrong way to do it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you’re not careful, you could easily let the cat out of the bag regarding an important secret. Be extra mindful of not only what you say, but to whom. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t allow an extravagant whim to gain control of your wallet, which could easily happen if you’re palling around with a big spender whom you’re trying to impress. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Usually, you have an appreciation for the virtues, abilities and desires of your friends. Today, however, you might feel that your way of doing things is the only way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) In your haste to promote something that you care about, there’s a strong possibility you could leave out pertinent information. Slow down a bit.
not do so if they think they are being manipulated. To be effective, you must be totally sincere. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Beware of becoming so unduly enamored with your own thinking that it blinds you to much better suggestions being offered by experienced people. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Resist temptations to team up with someone without knowing what that person’s plans or intentions might be. You may not like his or her ideas, or else lack the money to partake in them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone who is sincerely interested in your welfare might have some sage advice. Before settling on a plan or making a major decision, hear him or her out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you let another do a job for you that you can easily handle yourself, you could regret it. Be more self-reliant.
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 THE DEFENDERS CAN COUNT POINTS, TOO Mogens Jallberg from Denmark said, “In democracy, it’s your vote that counts. In feudalism, it’s your Count that votes.” The more that bridge players count, the better they will play. In yesterday’s deal, declarer placed the missing highcard points by referring to the bidding. Today, let’s show a defender doing it to advantage. East is defending against four spades, and West leads the heart 10. What should East do? There are several important points in the bidding. Some players sitting East would add a point for the five-card suit
and open one no-trump. But you should strive to find a reason not to open one no-trump when you have a five-card major. Here, having no minor-suit stopper is an excellent reason. South does not like to make a takeout double with 4-3-3-3 distribution, but his hand is a tad too strong to pass. North’s cuebid shows 12-plus points. East wins with the heart jack, cashes the ace, and takes the king, West discarding, say, the diamond three. What should East do next? If West had a minorsuit ace, he should have ruffed the third heart and cashed it (or discarded an encouraging card in that
suit). So the defenders are not getting a minor-suit trick. East must try for a trump trick by leading another heart. Here, when West ruffs with the spade eight and dummy overruffs with the 10, suddenly East gains a trump trick. It is a textbook uppercut.
