B.C. Assessment set to take your home’s photo Morning Star Staff
Don’t be alarmed if your house is being photographed. Digital cameras mounted inside a clearly marked van will soon be on the residential streets of Vernon as B.C. Assessment uses innovation to update photos for property assessment purposes. The residential photo update initiative will take street-front digital photos of approximately 10,000 single-family homes throughout Vernon. The target start date is Tuesday. “As the Crown corporation
responsible for accurately valuing all properties in B.C. and many First Nations, we are always looking for innovative ways to provide more timely, accurate, equitable and fair assessments to all property owners,” said Tracy Wall, deputy assessor for the Okanagan. B.C. Assessment will photograph only the public street front of a home including the street address number. B.C. Assessment will not retain any personal information related to any images of people on the property, visible signage on a residence
including business signs, signs with the names of the people living at the property or any other signage that may identify a person, which includes license plates. The organization will not shoot the interior of a residence or the interior of an enclosed vehicle shelter such as a garage. This technology has already been used successfully in the Lower Mainland, parts of the Fraser Valley and Nanaimo. Visit bcassessment.ca for more information about the digital residential update initiative.

Society gets pets on the road home Jennifer Smith

n the case of an emergency, unfortunately our furry friends also silently suffer. Whether it’s a fire, flood, car accident or emergency hospitalization, animals are frightened and sometimes unable to be cared for. That’s where The Road Home Rescue and Safekeeping Society steps in. Formed in 2011 at the request of Emergency Social Services, the society is there to assist animals that are lost, displaced or temporarily without an owner. But the recent heatwave and fire risk has the society on edge – fearing they won’t have enough foster homes if a devastating fire were to break out. “That’s when we’re desperate,” said Judy Thom, society secretary/treasurer. “If we get a big fire, which very well could happen. “We just need people to step up to the plate when we’re in trouble.” Recently on call during the Ellison fire, the society is thankful firefighters were able to douse the blaze before it spread to the neighbouring Outback community. Society members are also thankful the region hasn’t had any devastating wildfires like 2003. But they were on scene in 2011 when the Skyline Apartment fire broke out near the hospital, as well as the Thanksgiving apartment fire, a house fire in Lumby, apartment fire on Easter and numerous other emergency situations. While they can’t stop devastation, they want to be prepared for it. Volunteers, foster homes and forever homes are being sought. The society generally only takes animals on a temporary basis (and asks owners to find homes if they cannot take them back). But in rare cases, they have

That is the case with a pair of displaced cats, who have been bounced between foster homes since January. “It’s getting critical. We don’t like moving them around because it’s very stressful,” said Thom, a former SPCA volunteer. “They are in need of forever homes.” The pair of cats (sisters named Apricot and Silver) are among a few others needing homes and who can be viewed at www.theroadhome.ca The society also recently started The Compassionate Program
– working with Interior Health they are notified when a patient has no friends or relatives to rely on and needs some temporary care for their animals. “The need for it came very quickly,” said Thom. To help with these and other emergency situations, the society is calling out to the community to see if there are animals lovers willing to foster pets. “We have a volunteer list but it’s getting shorter,” said Thom, noting that volunteers will be interviewed and a home inspection will be done. More volunteer homes would

also help ease the pressure of existing volunteers, like society director Georgena Trail. “My inn is full,” said Trail, who is now also caring for Apricot and Silver, among others and her own pets. But it’s not just cat and dog lovers that are needed. “It could be birds, it could be rodents, hopefully not snakes, but it could be,” said Thom, adding that there is also a data base of farms for horses and livestock if needed.

Trio of accidents overnight Series of incidents plague local roads in 12 hours roger knox Morning Star Staff
A broken leg was the most serious injury in three separate North Okanagan accidents in a 12-hour span from Thursday evening to Friday morning. Shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday, a Toyota Tacoma was turning left onto Kal Lake Road from The Shops at Polson Park when the driver turned into the path of a southbound Harley Davidson motorcycle. The impact threw the motorcyclist from the bike and the 36-year-old Vernon rider suffered a broken leg. He was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment. The driver of the Tacoma, a 64-year-old Vernon man, was ticketed for failing to yield to the bike. The motorcyclist also received a ticket for not having a driver’s license. The truck suffered about $3,000 in damage, while there was approximately $2,000 in damage to the bike. At around the same time, on Highway 97 one kilometre north of the Westside Road turnoff, police were called to a report of a collision between a semi registered out of Penticton and a van. Upon arrival, officers found the 2013 Peterbilt pulled over to the shoulder, still in contact with a
2012 Ford Van. The investigation revealed the driver of the van, a 71-year-old Kamloops woman, pulled out to pass the truck on a double-solid line. To avoid oncoming southbound traffic, the woman tried to pull in front of the semi, but the van hit the front driver’s side wheel and bumper of the semi. The woman lost control of the van and the truck plowed into the passenger side of the van. The driver of the van was ticketed for passing on a double-solid line. She was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with a hip injury. The 62-year-old male driver of the Peterbilt, from Edmonton, was not injured. Shortly before 6 a.m. Friday, police were called to a report of a head-on crash at the intersection of 32nd Street and 32nd Avenue. Police report a 2011 Mazda containing a Calgary family of five, including three children, was northbound on 32nd Street when it crossed the centre line. A southbound Dodge, driven by a 29-year-old Kelowna man with one passenger, was in the lefthand lane and tried to maneuver around the Mazda but could not. Charges are being considered against the Mazda’s driver, a 31-year-old man from Calgary, as the accident remains under investigation. The driver of the truck suffered a chipped tooth. The Mazda was totaled in the accident, and there was minor damage to the truck.
Kal Park trail losing support Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Coldstream is backtracking on its support for a new trail in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Professional trail builder Cameron Sorensen (also a member of the North Okanagan Cycling Society) is collecting regional support for a new multi-use trail in the Cougar Canyon area of the park. Called the Eight of Spades, the proposed 23-kilometre trail would loop in a figure eight between the lake and the canyon. It is projected to be
“That environmental assessment is kind of the road block right now.” — Cam Sorensen
built over the next three years at a cost of $185,000. Parking expansion is also in the works. In a split decision, Coldstream originally agreed to write a letter of support
which the builder could use in seeking funding. “Following that meeting I received a call from Friends of Kal Park notifying that they were not supporting that application,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. What many would like to see first is an environmental assessment, but Sorensen says he needs support before the assessment. Funding of upwards of $10,000 is needed to complete the assessment. “That environmental assessment is kind of the road block right now,” said Sorensen.

Search and Rescue pleased with launch Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Despite some concerns from neighbours, Search and Rescue crews confirm there were no problems accessing a local boat launch. Emergency personnel were called July 14 to assist an injured teen who was cliff diving at Rattlesnake Point. In order to get to the site, paramedics and Search and Rescue accessed Kalamalka Lake via the Kalavista Boat Launch. But some neighbours to the launch reported that the busy site hindered the operation of crews. When in fact, that is not the case. “As far as we were concerned, it was absolutely perfect. It was textbook,” said Pete Wise, search manager in charge at the scene that day. “We had no problems from our end whatsoev-
er, it’s a perception of what people see.” The Kalavista launch can be congested at times, but Wise says crews simply cleared one side of the launch while getting their boat in and out of the water. “We don’t want to impede the launching of boats.” Following neighbourhood complaints, some Coldstream politicians suggested that another launch might be more suitable for emergency situations. But after hearing from crews on the scene, now the district is going to install a sign at the launch identifying it as an emergency launch point. “That boat launch is the best launch in the region,” said Wise, also appreciative of the assistance from local boaters and Coldstream’s commissionaires.

Vernon pics make the cut Morning Star Staff
Three North Okanagan residents have captured a spot in the search for B.C.’s best amateur photographer. In the past month, hundreds of photographers have submitted their works into the 2013 Amateur Photographer of the Year Contest (159 photos were entered from Vernon). Bruce Borrowman, Rosemary Tingey and Lindsay Wagensveld have been chosen among the finalists who will have a chance to shine at this year’s Abbotsford International Airshow. The contest, sponsored by London Drugs, Black Press and the Abbotsford International Airshow received almost 2,000 individual entries from around the province. A judging panel has narrowed the field down to finalists from Vernon to Vancouver. “This is the first time we have coordinated such a large photographic promotion and we are delighted with the incredible response,” said Andrew Franklin, publisher of The Abbotsford News. “Some 73 finalists are excited about attending the Abbotsford International Airshow and competing in the final round of the con-

This includes pain from new or old injuries, and even pain from degenerative diseases like arthritis. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, pain is stagnant qi (energy) and blood in one or multiple pathways. You feel the sensation of pain when the qi and blood are trying to push through these blockages.

Waving the flag, sort of
W
elcome to the B.C. Day long weekend, not to mention the halfway mark of what us Canadians like to call sum-
mer. I don’t know why but I’m especially happy to have a long weekend right about now, and what does it do, or at least forecast to do? Why, rain, of course. After a month of virtually no rain, in fact a record lack of precipitation, the calendar changes Thursday and it rains. Now, it seems pretty pathetic to whine about rain after a month (when usually it can rain a fair bit, so much so that I stopped booking my holidays for July and switched to August which is usually much more reliable, heavy sigh) of spectacular sumGlenn Mitchell mer weather. If one didn’t take advantage then, even without time off, then boo hoo on you. And we certainly need the rain. The forests are too dry for comfort, it would be nice to get rid of that pesky campfire ban (nothing worse than camping in the rain during a campfire ban) and my lawn’s starting to look like burnt toast (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Still, it could have waited until Tuesday to start raining...... ......the other good thing about B.C. Day, unlike some other statutory holidays, is that it’s pretty much guilt-free time off and there’s nothing to stress about (except maybe about getting a camping site or getting on the road in time to beat the holiday traffic etc.) Certainly we should be appreciative of our wonderful province and all Beautiful B.C. has to offer all year long but there’s no real obligation to wave the flag or set off fireworks (actually that’s banned right now anyway) or even organizing colouring contests for the kids. Of course we’re proud of our part of this country and we know we’re No. 1 in so many categories it’s not even funny but, to be honest,
MitChEll’S MuSingS
sometimes I wonder about our flag. I think I know why they don’t have colouring contests featuring the B.C. flag. It’s too complicated. Talk about fear of going outside the lines. That’s the beauty of the Canadian flag, a couple stripes of red, one of white and a maple leaf. Certainly the maple leaf has some detail to it but you know, even kids, approximately what it looks like and can wing it with some success. The B.C. flag has wavy blue and white lines and a setting sun and a British top half that all goes together to proclaim “enough already.” It would be difficult to trace, let alone draw. Now don’t get me wrong I’m a proud British Columbian and if anyone else knocked our flag I would take issue with it. And I get the British imagery, hey it‘s in our name, and even the setting sun as the western most part of Canada and I guess the blue and white lines signify the ocean or something but maybe we’re trying too hard here. Hey throw in a few trees and whales why don’t you? Simpler is usually better than cluttered anytime. However it’s not like the other provinces are doing any better with their flags. Ontario and Manitoba are virtually interchangeable and Nova Scotia is probably the best and most easily recognizable due to its simplicity (although I like New Brunswick too for some reason). I also like Newfoundland, even though it’s a bit of a salute to geometric shapes, which is the most modern, and the only one that’s actually been updated. Now I also know you don’t go around changing things just to look modern, tradition counts for something. I also understand some people are still upset about the Canadian flag becoming a salute to the maple leaf in the sixties, although I’m glad they did and it helped create a Canadian identity, separate from Britain. So good on them. However it’s just food for thought on this B.C. Day holiday weekend. I’m not here to launch a referendum or anything. Nothing to get stressed or upset about because that’s not what this weekend is all about. Just enjoy and stay safe B.C.
With Christy Clark firmly back in the premier’s seat, it’s time to see a “families-first” philosophy kick into overdrive. Much of what is found in the rhetoric-heavy B.C. premier’s Families First Agenda for Change are targets revolving around job growth. But if you’re part of a family with two working parents who are still just scraping by, Clark’s families first commitments to harmonize approval processes between federal and provincial governments, extend the Oil and Gas Road Improvement Program and harmonize bioenergy strategies offer little hope of immediate improvement. And, for many, improvement is needed now. Case in point: B.C. continues to have one of the highest child poverty rates in Canada. The poverty rate for children living with a single parent (mother) rose from 16.4 per cent to 24.6. A low annual income for this category, according to StatsCan, is $23,498, based on living in a large city. While Clark has followed through on her promise to finally raise the province’s minimum wage (previously another national low), statistics show median incomes have been stagnant since 1982. Meanwhile, the annual cost of living, particularly for families, has risen. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives states that families (two parents, two children) in the Okanagan need to be pulling in $75,000 (gross) annually in order to make a “living wage.” Gambling B.C.’s economy on liquid natural gas does nothing to quell the struggle families face now. ---Black Press

Bike lanes aren't the answer
n response to M. Lissau's letter in The Morning Star – whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s back this pollution-spewing bus up just a bit! How about you think of it as “You pay for what you use fee?” You want more bike lanes and paths but don’t want to be the one paying for it? You feel the others, who are already burdened with taxes and ‘fees’, too long to list, that they should pay for it? This seems also the wish of a few at city hall as well. Who changed the rules of common sense? Someone get me a drink! I drive around Vernon and it is hard not to notice the many designated ‘bike lanes’ on many major roadways and I swear I could fire a cannon down any one of them, at any time of the day, on any day of the week and never hit a soul. My best guess would be there are one in 100 people who actually use bicycles on any sort of regular basis. If my estimate is anywhere close that would amount to one per cent of the population. And just what monies do you think built and maintains that three-foot lane on both sides of the road? Well it would be partially paid by motorists' gas taxes, already. Consider that for a moment; all that money spent and six feet of endless road space for a handful people.
debate continues I must be one of those “highly vocal radicals motivated by emotion” that Rudy Bergen says that it is “Mr. Harper’s job to protect us from.” Except that my emotion comes from research of information and not what Mr. Harper tells me to believe. Mr. Bergen’s arguments are readily countered. There are many arguments against the success of Bt cotton, available for the reader/researcher on the internet, ranging from increased insecticide sprays (for other than those genetically targeted), increased water usage (depletion of the water table), increased fertilizer use (soil depletion), decreases in yield per acre, and increased social destruction (as farmers become indentured servants to GMO companies for their agricultural needs). As for the endangered papaya (only endangered as a food crop), Wikipedia says, “In 2011 Philippine researchers reported….had developed conventionally bred, nongenetically engineered papaya that are proving resistant to PRV.” This was the base of the solution to save the food crop. In his role as a member of the American
‘environment’ as their argument so that we feel a ‘guilt’ arguing it. Well I for one have had enough of that ploy. Pick pocketing us with user fees and taxes is counter-productive in getting any economy fired up. We are the ‘consumer’. Take away our money and we can’t buy things and when we stop buying things the economy stops, period. Put more money in our pockets and we will spend it on houses, cars, holidays, TV’s, etc. Viola! That is how an economy gets healthy and stays healthy! Its basic economics which you would think politicians could figure out but very few of them do. They are only good at dreaming up absurd ways and excuses to tax us more, and hence, discouraging true and real business. This, they have found, is much easier than actually budgeting smartly. My suggestion for bicycling enthusiasts? You want it, you pay for it. Enough of tagging everyone else for your hobby. And how about coughing up the cash for the three feet of un-used pavement that already exists? I’m sure city hall can figure out a hefty yearly registration system so that you can pay your fair share for the construction, maintenance and cleaning of the lanes reserved for bicycles. Can’t afford it? Neither can I. G. campbell
What a terrible waste of pavement. Years ago kids dominated the bicycling world. Every kid had one and every kid used them as transportation to school, play and work. Now children are bused or driven to school and if close enough they simply walk. The school grounds have not even tenth of the amount of bicycles parked there that use to be. Kids are apt to hop on a skate board rather than a bicycle. Basically, the few people I see using bicycles are not ‘kids’ anymore, but adults. Bicycles are not and never will be the answer to the environment. They were never a practical form of transportation. As history shows, the bicycle was fairly well skipped over from the horse and buggy to the automobile.
You then go on to say this somehow would attract tourists to town. Well isn’t that a bit contradictory? Just how do you suppose those tourists are going to get here? Do think that they are going to use up their limited holidays to ‘bicycle’ up from the States or over from Alberta? People, wake up. Certainly I can’t be the only person who feels like this. The only thing that we’ve done for the environment to give governments, at all levels, a blank cheque. It has turned into the greatest cash-cow in history and they’re bleeding it for all they can, right along with the corporations, gutting us for cash all in the name of ‘going green’, ‘save the planet’ etc. etc. Every time they run short of ‘funds’ they dream up another ‘fee’ (re: tax) and use the
Association of Cereal Chemists, he argues against the “helter skelter cross breeding which moves hundreds or more genes”, your basic hybridization process that has produced everything from chihuahuas and pugs to wheat and corn. Of course hundreds of genes are moved… that is what makes the next generation of living species possible. A single gene can be inserted scientifically, but the side effects, its ‘collateral damage’ will be unknown unless research is done before initiating the process. He then argues about an allergy gene in peanuts. No, the allergy gene is in the consumer, the human body, which is why the human has an allergic reaction, not the peanut. Bergen than argues about guns and cars, an emotional argument if there ever was one, as it has little if anything to do with GM foods. Finally, the real reason that “GMOs have not been proven to even cause a rash or sore throat” is because no research has been done on humans to even test that, and with the widespread use of GMOs it is probably impossible to have proper tests done now. However research has been done on laboratory animals
(mice) that has produced tumors, lowered growth, and birth defects. As for me, sorry to be emotional about all this, but I really do not think that - given Mr. Harper’s anti-scientific views – I would want him to protect me from anything. Jim Miles

poison ivy Recently my husband and I drove out to Echo Lake for a quiet paddle in our canoe. It was scenic and pleasant until I found myself with a wicked case of poison ivy in the following days. We parked at a pullout halfway along the lakeshore and paddled around the lake and then had enjoyed a little picnic snack. Please be aware that around many local lakes and mountain streams there does lurk this nasty danger and also if anyone picked up the oblong pearl drop earrings that I lost there please email me at melgud@hotmail.com as they are not very valuable but are of great sentimental value to me. Thank you in advance. Gudrun dekker

As a former firefighter, Vernon’s Reg Bardsley was used to helping people. When a form of muscular dystrophy took away Bardsley’s profession, he turned to help from Muscular Dystrophy Canada and Canada Safeway. Through the organizations’ Make Muscles Move campaign, they were able to help Bardsley purchase a wheelchair for his mobility. Now, as the North Okanagan’s volunteer muscular dystrophy coordinator, Bardsley is giving back. “Coming from a firefighting background, I was the person trying to help other people, and it’s very humbling to have to ask for help yourself in this circumstance,” said Bardsley, who turns 53 on Aug. 22, and who was diagnosed with fasioscapular-humoral dystrophy in 2002. The disease has affected his mobility in arms and legs, and Bardsley said he’s getting weaker as the years progress. Bardsley was on hand at both Vernon Canada Safeway stores Thursday to announce the launch of the Make Muscles Move campaign. Throughout the month of August, Safeway patrons will be asked as they go through the tills if they want to make a $2 donation to Muscular Dystrophy Canada. All proceeds go to the Make Muscles Move campaign which helps people stricken with muscular dystrophy purchase a lift-assist device for their home. The money can also help make a client put a down payment on a wheelchair van or, as in Bardsley’s case, help buy a wheelchair to help with mobility. “My chair cost between $5,000 and $6,000, and there’s absolutely no way I could afford it without Muscular Dystrophy and Canada Safeway,” said Bardsley. “I’d be stuck at home and wouldn’t be able to go out and volunteer.” Last year, the campaign raised between $40,000 and $50,000 in the North Okanagan, and around $95,000 in the Okanagan Valley. A first Walk for Muscular Dystrophy in May netted around $13,000, and the Vernon Square

Downtown Vernon Safeway store manager Craig Dickson (right) accepts a $2 donation from Vernon’s Reg Bardsley for the month-long Make Muscles Move campaign, sponsored by Safeway and Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Canada Safeway will host a community-wide garage sale on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. People can bring items to the Vernon Square store for the sale, and items to be purchased will be by donation. The Make Muscles Move campaign is not just about raising funds for muscular dystrophy, but to provide awareness about the disease which knows no age limits. “On that day of the garage sale, we invited people out to talk to clients, family of clients and understand what muscular dystrophy is all about,” said Bardsley. “The goal with raising funds is to bring the quality of life to a standard level. Most of the cases are very progressive. Every day, month or year, you’re losing part of your mobility. We want to have people understand the disability and that’s a big part of campaign, the awareness. This disease can affect children or adults later in life, like it did with me.” During the campaign, Safeway customers who make a $2 donation will receive a Safeway cart coin release key chain (while quantities last) or five Air Miles reward miles.

After more than two months, some Mabel Lake residents can finally drink water from their taps once again. The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) is informing Mabel Lake Water Utility customers that the Water Quality Advisory issued on May 21, has been rescinded. The RDNO has been actively monitoring the water quality and all bacterial tests have been clear. The water from the Mabel Lake Water Utility is rated as good. A good rating means the water is safe to drink for all customers with the exception of those customers with weakened immune systems. Customers with weakened immune systems should ask their doctor or specialist whether they need to take extra precautions. Check www. healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles for more information.

Study reveals gender differences in business Black Press
BMO Bank of Montreal has released a study that found clear differences in the motivations and characteristics of men and women business owners, and how they got where they are. The survey, conducted by Pollara, found Steve Murphy that male business owners are more likely than their female counterparts to have gotten into
their role by starting their own business (65 per cent vs. 56 per cent), according to the survey of 500 Canadian business owners. Women, on the other hand, are more likely than men to have become business owners through a promotion (13 per cent for women vs. seven per cent for men) or taking over the family business (21 per cent vs. 15 per cent, respectively). There were also differences when it came to the key factors for starting a business: n Doing something they are passionate about: men - 79 per cent, women - 89 per cent n Being their own boss: men - 78 per cent,
women - 78 per cent n Making money: men - 78 per cent, women - 71 per cent n The challenge of owning a business: men - 68 per cent, women - 82 per cent “The survey findings paint an interesting picture of the differences between male and female business owners in Canada,” said Steve Murphy, senior vice-president of commercial banking for BMO Bank of Montreal. “It’s encouraging to see that both men and woman are highly driven by a passion for their business - which is key to successfully running an organization or business.
“Women seem to be drawn to the challenge more than men. It’s clearly having an impact, with more women opting for selfemployment, according to the latest data,” added Murphy. There were also pronounced differences in the sectors where people operate. Men are more likely to be running businesses in the manufacturing (11 per cent vs. five per cent), construction (11 per cent vs. six per cent), or automotive (six per cent vs. one per cent) sectors, whereas women are more likely to be in retail (14 per cent vs. seven per cent) or hospitality (nine per cent vs. four per cent).

the elevation gain from this parking lot is 655 metres. There’s no way of disguising the length, but for the most part, this incline is gradual. Healy Creek weaves in and out of our view and while canopied by evergreens we bisect the occasional blueberry field, cross a few bridges and ogle at rugged peaks that pop into the backdrop. A primitive campground dots the 5.5-kilometre mark, a fork to Simpson Pass is just before kilometer eight and flowery meadows sprawl over the sub-alpine. We safely traverse the open meadow, elevate to Healy Pass and pan the expansive landscape. To the northeast, living up to its name, is the Massive Range, southeast is beacon-like Mount Assiniboine and northwest are the shimmering jewels of Scarab and Egypt lakes. We sit and try to take it all in before making the descent. “Going down will be easier,” Brent assures me, “we’ll even have energy for another hike tomorrow.” Kalli wags her tail in agreement. Little does she know, her legs will be getting a rest. We make arrangements the next morning for her to stay and play at Veronica’s, a doggy daycare that’s a short drive from our Tunnel Mountain camp-

After taking the fivekilometre bus drive from the lower parking lot, we gain 500 metres elevation and save an hour and a half treadtime on our hiking boots. More than 12 kilometres of gravel pathway score these upper meadows. Placards along the first section reveal information about the vegetation, flora and geography. We’re welcomed to the Continental Divide, a Rocky Mountain landmark that separates the water flow from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Our manicured path rises and falls as it slices through the rugged groundcover. And while meandering over this high country we’re privy to a postcard slide show. A massive granite wall called the Monarch, the craggy summit of
Mount Howard Douglas and the great Mount Assiniboine, is snowcloaked and poised like a faultless arrow-head. Some of these mountain masses harbor receded snow drifts, others wear striated age-lines and a number are home to tranquil lakes. At the base of Quartz Hill (five kilometres into the trek), we enjoy a snack and serenity. “We could keep going,” Brent says, after checking his watch. “Another hour or so and we’ll be at Citadel Pass where the vistas are spectacular. What do you think?” But we both know the answer. We have to pick up our pooch by 4:30 p.m. and time is running out. “Veronica also offers overnight care,” I pipe up. “Maybe next time we’re hiking Sunshine, Kalli would like to have a sleep-over.” Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Ogopogos sink Aussies in Italy Morning Star Staff
Vernon Big O Tire-Turn-Key Ogopogos bounced Australia’s Barbarians 2-1 in their Thursday soccer opener at the 2013 World Masters Games in Torino, Italy. The Ogopogos picked up several guest players from around the globe to fill their roster, and two of them found the net against the Aussies. Alan Blatler from Gibsons scored on a free kick from outside the 18 to level the score at 1-1 before the first half. “While the Aussies were arguing about the call, Alan took advantage of the unprepared keeper and put it high in the top corner from outside the 18,” said Ogopogos’ playing-coach Kerry Zubot. Blatler fed Gary Beckett of Australia, who beat the last defender, and from a tight angle on the left side, pushed the ball past the keeper. Striker Mark Wasylyk had several scoring attempts, while Jim Sparrow, in center midfield, created several stellar plays. Dave Hampton and Zubot were solid on defence. In Masters women’s play in Italy, North Okanagan United 2-1 to Calgary Canadian Ice before clipping Sol Cal (South California) 2-1 in Friday action. Player of the Match Wendy Stevens, unselfishly passed the ball in front of an open net to Dawn Lemiski for NOU’s goal against Calgary. Darlene Wiese made several clutch saves in net. Under the lights and battling Italian mosquitos, NOU defeated Sol Cal with center half Andrea Zubot
feeding Italian pick-up Federica Tamagnini, who carried it outside to about 25 yards and rifled a beauty over everyone’s head top corner. Just 15 minutes later, Tamagnini crossed to Kim Reid, who took a touch and buried a blast for a 2-0 lead at the half. An unfortunate hand ball in the NOU box resulted in a goal for California from a penalty kick and a yellow card for Edmonton pick-up Carol O’Kell, who was stellar in net. Velvet Beaumont at stopper andfeisty Kim Cooper on defence were tireless and fearless. “NOU played defensively as California pushed hard as they pulled their effective sweeper to get more offence,” said Andrea Zubot of NOU. “Edeen Ramsey’s speed on outside half created many opportunities and excitement for NOU.” The Vernon Controllers opened women’s play with a 4-1 loss to the Fraser Valley. Meanwhile, Sunterra Sistas came ready to play in the heat Thursday night with light new jerseys courtesy of Okanagan T-Shirt Company, and found rain and heavy winds instead. Despite the inclement weather, the Sistas toppled the OMG Chick Kickers 3-1 in Division 2 women’s play at Marshall Field #4. Sarah Ehman opened the 10-1-1 Sunterra offence on a breakaway run from the outside left. The Chick kickers used strong midfield play to give their forwards several chances to run the ball into the Sistas’ dynamic defence.

Tigers drop provincial opener to Saanich Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers were looking to run the table at the B.C. Junior B Lacrosse Championships at Copeland Arena in Burnaby. Vernon lost their opener 21-16 to the Island champion Saanich Tigers Friday night. Vernon faced the West Coast champion Delta Islanders Saturday afternoon and face the host Burnaby Lakers this morning to complete preliminary action. The final
goes tonight with the winner qualifying for the western Founders Cup, Aug. 19-25, in Winnipeg. Burnaby and Delta tied 8-8 Friday night. The Tigers struggled early and played much of the first 40 minutes shorthanded, trailing Saanich 4-1 and 11-5 by periods. “They had 10 powerplays and scored eight powerplay goals in the first two periods,” said Vernon coach Myles Brumpton. “Some of them (penalties) were for sure
legit, but some weren’t. I got a bench minor for politely questioning one of the calls. “We had no legs, but we woke up in the third, scored 10 goals and played our brand of lacrosse. We can play with anybody here. We win our next two games and we’re in.” Captain Ethan Garland supplied 5+5, while Cody Short added 3+2 for Saanich. Daryl Landels pocketed 4+1 to earn a lawn chair as Vernon MVP. Nolan Frame also scored four times, while Ryan Sarazin

Vernon’s Sarah Bailey will take her running routine from the University of Jacksonville Dolphins in Florida to the University of the Pacific Tigers of Stockton, Calif. this fall.
Stockton inks Bailey Graeme CorBeTT Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Sarah Bailey never drank coffee until she went to college. The day-to-day life of a student-athlete proved to be a grind for the Fulton grad, who recently finished her sophomore year with the University of Jacksonville Dolphins women’s track team in Florida. Her daily routine went something like this – early-morning practice, classes, after-school practice, study time, crash. Repeat. Caffeine was soon added to the regimen. “It’s (Florida) not as glamorous as people might think,” said Bailey, 20. “You’re so busy. By the time you’re done it’s nine o’clock and you just want to go to bed.” Bailey said the mental anguish of pursuing a mathematics degree was only outweighed by the physical demands of her workout schedule. The latter is part of the reason Bailey decided to transfer to the University of the Pacific Tigers of Stockton, Calif. this fall. “I went from running whenever I wanted to having a schedule and doing high mileage,” said Bailey, adding she was logging upwards of 90 kilometres a week. “I only run the 800 and 1,500 so I’m not sure I needed that.

“I didn’t have an official running break where you take more than two days off in a year. It’s pretty tiring so by the end of the school year you just want to sleep.” Bailey said Dolphins’ head coach Ron Grigg’s style worked for some athletes, but she felt their philosophies didn’t mesh. “The coach is a great guy, and we have a mutual respect. But I wasn’t doing as well as I wanted down there, and felt I needed a new training outlook; different types of training that I know work for me.” Bailey is looking forward to a fresh start under Tigers’ head coach Josh Jones. She is also excited about Northern California, as the Pacific campus, located in the San Joaquin Valley, is only about 90 minutes east of San Francisco. “He’s really willing to work with me and make me successful,” said Bailey, noting the Tigers don’t compete in the indoor season. “It’s only their (Tigers) second official year and it’s a young team and I like that energy. It’s going to benefit me. “The last two years haven’t been exactly what I wanted. I hope I can forget about it and move on and be fast again.” Jones is excited to be adding a veteran like Bailey, who won provincial gold in the 800 in 2011 with Fulton. He will be counting on her to offer leadership for the Tigers. “She brings competitiveness and depth to our young team,” said Jones. “We look forward to having her experience help propel our team as we enter the (NCAA Division 1) West Coast Conference.” In the cross-country season, Bailey recorded personal bests of 19 minutes flat in the 5-km and 5:04.76 in the mile. Her specialty, however is on the track where she posted a 4:38.99 in the 1,500 and 2:13.87 in the 800. Bailey’s development took a setback in her freshman year as she was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her fibula in December, 2011. It caused her to redshirt the 2012 indoor season. After going through rehabilitation, she was eventually allowed back on the treadmill three times a week for a whopping five minutes. “That really set me back,” said Bailey. “I didn’t start running again until March (2012), and I missed the entire indoor season.” Despite several low points in Jacksonville, Bailey enjoyed the atmosphere there, especially at events like Florida Relays. “You’re around people who are breaking records at the beginning of the season,” she said. “I’m going to miss the people down there.”

Danny dials Hillview ace
LLoyd lifts Kal Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
It was Beat The Pro Day for juniors Tuesday at Hillview and 13-year-old Daniel Shwaluk needed just one shot to top Keith Vandenbrink. Shwaluk used a seven-iron to ace the 115yard 17th hole. Vandenbrink, the longtime pro at Hillview, carded a par-3. “I flew it to the green and it just rolled in,” said Shwaluk. “I was pretty excited, crazy. I was jumping up and down.” Witnesses to his first-ever hole-in-one were Braeden Cooper and John Morley. “I come close to getting a hole-in-one every three rounds maybe and I’ve been close on 17 a few times,” added Shwaluk, who enters Grade 8 at VSS this fall. A 20 handicap in his fourth year of golf, Shwaluk received a commemorative pin and mug, with free unlimited soda for the day. He carded 33-32-65 in the fun tournament. A total of 30 juniors participated and Vandenbrink had three bogeys and two birdies, so there was quite a few juniors that were able to beat him on the bogey holes. Meanwhile, Mackenzie Barrie of Vernon shot a final-round 83 Friday to finish in a two-way share of 30th at the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship in Pickering, Ont. Barrie, 17, finished at 80-84-86-83-333. Brooke Henderson of Smith Falls, Ont. won at 283.

Vipers’ Klepp honoured Morning Star Staff
Don Klepp makes sure the Vernon Vipers are on the right track in education. Helps them line up the proper courses in high school or college and answers tough questions regarding studies. The longtime education adviser was awarded the Duncan Jamieson Award for his outstanding volunteerism and dedication to the game at the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame banquet last Friday night in Penticton. “The Vipers are very proud of Don who has been part of the Vipers organization since 2005.,” said head coach/GM Jason Williamson. “He helps our players achieve their educational goals in courses transferable to CIS and NCAA schools. “Don also is a chairman on the RBC Cup Committee for the 2014 Championship to be held at Kal Tire Place.” The award is presented in the memory of Jamieson, a longtime supporter of minor hockey in Penticton and throughout B.C. Jamieson earned lifetime memberships in the Penticton Minor Hockey and the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Associations. He was also a member of the B.C. Amateur Hockey Association and one of the founding members of the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame Society.
For Klepp, 69, volunteerism is all about making Vernon a better place. “Basically, I want to give back to the community, and partly because of my passion for hockey” said Klepp. “The players understand the need for education. While hockey is their No. 1 love, they are not fooled by the whole picture. They know the odds of reaching the NHL are against them.” Klepp, who was born in Canwood, Sask., was in teaching for 36 years. He previously was an instructor with Okanagan University College, teaching English and communications. He taught at the University of Saskatchewan before moving here. He will step down as colour analyst for Viper broadcasts to focus on his RBC Cup volunteer work this season. The 2013 shrine inductees included: Nancy Wilson, the first even woman to be inducted, former NHLers Mark Recchi and Paul Kariya, former Vancouver Canucks’ head coach and player Marc Crawford, amateur coach Colin Patterson of Cranbrook, and the 1994 and 1995 Western Hockey League (WHL) champion Kamloops Blazers. Wilson (London, Ont.) was captain of the University of Western Ontario and later played with Vancouver senior teams before embarking on an impressive coaching career.
Vernon Kal Tire got two goals from Mike Lloyd in a 5-1 win over Winfield in Okanagan Men’s 50+ Soccer League play Thursday night at Rieswig Park. Jenne Huberts scored once and fed gorgeous balls for both of Lloyd’s goals to earn the Burger King Man of the Match. Denis Chabot and an own goal completed the 13-3 Tiremen offence. Peter Butler fooled Kal Tire keeper Pete Richter with a 25-yarder through traffic. In other 50s play, the Vernon Silver Stars drew 1-1 with Kelowna #1 at Marshall Field #3. Keith Chancellor scored for the Stars with Wayne Aasen drawing the assist. Kal Tire will take on Calgary in a friendly today at 11 a.m. at Marshall #5. The two teams met in the series opener Saturday.

Wendy Nadeau. Play went back and forth before Baker passed to Kim Sylvester, who drawing out Nadeau, then dished to Tania Wirachowsky, who converted with finesse. Cara Main countered late for the 6-6 Kickers with a much deserved goal after many long runs up the left side. Solid defensive efforts for the
Kickers were turned in by Jenelle Woods, Nadine Danyluk and Char Johnson. In other Division 2 play Thursday night, the Green Rockets zapped Capri Insurance 4-0 at Marshall #2. Rachel Cross stopped everything her way for the clean sheets. Leah Willinger riverdanced her way to a hat-trick, while Natalie Forster supplied a single.

Habitat issues building challenge Morning Star Staff
Calling all local builders with big hearts. Habitat for Humanity is giving contractors and backyard builders a chance to showcase their talent, and help a worthy local cause. The Home Building Centre and Kaminsky City Furniture in Vernon are helping the Habitat Champs in an exciting and fun project to raise money – a home challenge. Start your skill saws and lend a hand to buy the land. Habitat is going to display
playhouses built by the city’s favourite local builders. “These play homes should be no larger than 4’ x 6’ in size, but we encourage you to go wild with your imagination to showcase your company’s skill,” said Cheryl Kaminsky, coordinator of the project. “We will display these homes for the month of November at the Home Building Center on 27th Street and they have joined our efforts by offering a builders discount on materials as well as coordinating the raffle of all homes. We expect hundreds of people to buy raffle tickets for the various playhouses (just in time for Christmas). It is our wish to have at least six playhouses to showcase.”
The Corporation of the
City of Vernon Notice of Property Disposition Notice of Assistance In accordance with Sections 24, 26 and 94 of the Community Charter, notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Vernon intends to transfer to the Regional District of North Okanagan the lands legally described below. The transfer of title to these properties is part of the restructuring of the Greater Vernon Parks function whereby parks designated sub-regional in nature will become the responsibility of the Regional District of North Okanagan. The consideration to be received by the City of Vernon for the disposition of the properties is $1.00 and other good and valuable consideration. The title transfers are proposed to take effect January 1, 2014 upon completion of all necessary documents for the parks restructuring. Location

Backyard builders take heart too. City Furniture has joined the action and is going to display and auction off homes of every sort. “We envision dog houses, bird houses, doll houses and more,” said Kaminsky. “This display of fun and artful homes will also be featured throughout the month of November at City Furniture on Anderson Way and there will be a silent auction sheet for each item (as well as a ‘buy it now’ price).” Call Kaminski (250-503-7898) for more details and join the Habitat Champs in thanking all participants and businesses who are working to see local families live in their own dream homes.

The largest single-day bocce tournament in Western Canada saw a record number of females taking part last weekend. The ninth annual Greater Vernon Open Bocce Tournament took place at Coldstream Park, with partial proceeds going to the Michael Schratter Ride Don’t Hide around-the-world bike marathon for Canadian Mental Health. Tournament organizers Bill Trickey and Ed Schratter, along with their official corporate sponsor, Okanagan Spring Brewery, saw 92 teams of two compete against each other for over $1,000 in cash and prizes. This year saw a spike in attendance by women showing that bocce is not just a gentleman’s game. “With over 60 per cent of the participants
being women, the girls kind of took over the place,” said Ed Schratter. “It was neat to see all the girls come out and play and do well. Three all-girls teams made it to the finals this year, that’s a record.” Close to 200 costume-clad participants competed for the $200 top costume prize award in addition to the Top Team and the Top AllFemale Team awards. Last year’s top placing female team of Roberta Rachwalski and Trish Martin took the costume prize this year with their Zombie Brides outfits. Okanagan Heat team member Neil Blundell enjoyed the company of all the colourfully attired women. “I love the GVO!” he was heard shouting.

People from all over B.C. and Alberta competed in the one-day event that was almost four times the size of the annual Vancouver Bocce-by-the-Beach charity event. “It’s nice to see that Vernon can bring in more people than a city of 1.5 million,” said Trickey. This year’s repeat winners were the Opp brothers out of Surrey. “Nathan and Ben, played a serious game,” noticed tournament regular Jason Webster. “Apparently they were ‘scoping’ out the terrain the night before and they took each game, one point at a time. It was fun to watch… until I had to play them.” The Greater Vernon Open (GVO) started in 2005 with only 10 teams and topped just over 90 teams of two this year. “Every year it gets bigger and better and we are proud to link the tournament with the fine, all natural products of our hometown’s most notable companies, Okanagan Spring Brewery,” said Trickey. As in the past, this year will see partial proceeds of money raised going towards a charity that is close to cocoordinator Ed Schratter. “Two years ago, my brother biked around the world to help raise aware-

First team to 11 wins the match. ness and money for Canadian Mental Health,” said Schratter. The Michael Schratter Ride Don’t Hide campaign is not only raising funds for CMHA, but is also breaking down the stigma that is often associated with mental health.
“It’s nice to see local corporate support for fun, social events like these that are linked to important charities,” said Trickey. “The support that OK Spring has provided us has allowed us to start donating to Mike’s charity for three years now.”

The sailing time is 20 minutes. “WaterBridge is proud of the fact that the new Upper Arrow Lake ferry will incorporate the most efficient, state-of-the-art engines and propulsion equipment,” said WaterBridge Steel president and CEO John Harding. “We are, however, most proud of the abilities demonstrated by our supervisors and crews who have been drawn from across B.C. to the community of Nakusp to successfully construct the largest inland ferry ever built in B.C.”

Travellers crossing Upper Arrow Lake are one step closer to having a new ferry, following the launch of the hull for a new vessel in Nakusp last Sunday. The launch represents a significant milestone in the project, which is the largest inland ferry ever built in B.C. Construction of the vessel is on time and on budget. It is scheduled to be put into service between Galena Bay and Shelter Bay in May 2014. “This is an important milestone for the new Upper Arrow Lake ferry,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “Aside from providing safe and reliable transportation to travellers in the area, this project is providing good jobs for skilled trades people right here in British Columbia.” With the hull now in the water, WaterBridge Steel in Nakusp will build the superstructure and install the vessel’s equipment and systems. The ferry is expected to be ready for speed and endurance trials and manoeuvring tests by February 2014. The final step will be Transport Canada certification next spring. Aside from improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, the new Upper Arrow Lake ferry incorporates enhanced maintenance technology that will result in a high level of reliability. The vessel is designed to enable underwater visual inspections, eliminating the requirement to lift the vessel out of the water every five years for an inspection. The vessel’s equipment and systems will be fully serviced from the car deck or inside the vessel. The new drive-on, drive-off ferry will replace two 40-year-old vessels and with a capacity to transport 80 vehicles and 250 passengers. The vessel will have wider lanes and improved ramp

The timing couldn’t have been better for Spallumcheen’s Valley Auction Ltd. Celebrating its 50th birthday in July, Valley Auction was recently chosen as the Canadian Angus Association’s Auction Market of the Year for its work promoting Angus and Angus cross cattle. “It’s a great honour, very prestigious and very rare for a market our size to win a national honour,” said Don Raffan who, along with younger brother Peter, operates Valley Auction which their father, Jim, bought in July 1963. “The timing for this award was perfect.” The Raffan brothers accepted the award with their mom, Margaret, and Don’s wife, Diana, as it was presented at the recent Livestock Markets Association of Canada annual convention in Calgary. Angus cattle, said Raffan, has come leaps and bounds with immense improvement over the years. He added that Angus producers are “great to get along with” and his family enjoys being involved with the breed association. Valley Auction had two Canadian Angus rancher-endorsed sales for Angus-tagged cattle last fall, and plan to continue their involvement. As an auctioneer, Raffan has seen Angustagged cattle increase in price and expects the trend to continue because breeders participating in the Angus-tagged cattle sales are doing their homework before they get to sale. “Today, there is a certain excitement when Angus cattle come through the ring,” said Raffan. “The Angus-tagged sales are fun to do, and we see great participation at them.” Cattle has always been the main focus of Valley Auction but the Raffans’ business also includes horse sales, machinery sales and on-site farm auction. The Auction Market of the Year award was introduced in 2006 to recognize and honour those auction markets that work hard to promote Angus cattle. The Canadian Angus Association is Canada’s largest purebred beef breed organization, representing 3,000 members nationwide.

Edna Tansony (left), June Cooper, Marion Selkirk, Isabel Peterson and Marie Kologie gather in Vernon June 14, 15 and 16 for their 60th anniversary reunion as nursing graduates of Grace Hospital, Winnipeg. Mary Monkman and Greta Bloomer are missing from the photo.
The years melt away for nursing graduates Graduates share laughter, tears and plenty of fun at Grace Hospital reunion Marie Kologie Special to The Morning Star
On Jan. 4, 1953 16 new students arrived at the nurses’ residence of Grace Hospital on Arlington Street. Our rooms are on the top, fourth floor of the residence; it is the first meeting of each other, and we look forward to living together for the next three years. Most of us are from rural areas, quite green behind the ears but very eager to experience life in the city and in nursing. During the next three years we also go to two other places to get our full training, the Children’s Hospital for children’s nursing and the King George for communicable diseases. Most of us graduated and are now scattered over the North American continent. And so it is with great joy that five mem-
bers of our class had our 60th anniversary and class reunion on the weekend of June 14, 15, and 16 in Vernon. We enjoyed the memories of our long friendships of so many years. Several members have left us, but we who remain are in reasonable health and delightful spirit, and are enjoying life to the full. Friday we spend visiting, playing Loreena McKennitt CDs in remembrance of Irene, Loreena’s mother, look at the old albums from previous reunions, and also the album Merle MacPherson’s mother made for her as a gift. Her mother added some of her poetic talent to the captions. We are quite impressed with all the good memories we’re pulling up, and the day is gone very quickly. After all, 60 years have gone by in a flash and there is so much we don’t even bring up. We’ve had about seven or eight reunions and we are quite close friends — it’s a beautiful friendship. There have been few disputes, some pranks, and much fun! Most of us have a younger family member here, to help with driving, phoning, photo
taking, and whatever we find to be helpful to us. The travelling has been good but we do tire easily, and a helping hand is great! My daughter Marjorie has sent a platter of cakes and goodies for our dessert and also for our picnic, which is planned for tomorrow when we go to the Kettle Valley Railway. Saturday is a full day, and by 10 a.m. we are on the road, convoy style, with Marjorie in the lead, two more cars behind her, on the two-hour drive to Summerland. It’s turning out to be a great day with the sunshine and gentle breezes. Now off to the train station! A friend, John Garland, is already waiting to join us on the trip. We’re in the Winslow car with the open windows. The train engine is #3714, smoke billowing, tooting the whistle, excitement is in the air! The wheels squeak and the cars jostle and bounce and we’re on our way. We pass a llama in the field, many flowers and baby’s breath gone wild on the hillsides, orchards, fields and gardens, many people waving to us as we pass by. While on the train there is also entertain-
ment, a man with a banjo, dressed the part in a red and white striped shirt wearing a straw boater hat, singing older songs. Marjorie and Isabel ask him to sing Tennessee Waltz, You are my sunshine, etc. He’s so willing to serenade us! Isabel is beside herself with joy and Marjorie is very happy too. We have a reservation for supper at Mission Hill Family Estate winery. The place is built like a fortress, with thick cement walls and very tall doors. There is a lovely courtyard and the open dining area under a roof with substantial columns holding it up. The view of the hillside and Okanagan Lake is spectacular! It’s a very pleasant evening and just before we leave, the bells in the tower ring. It’s a nice finish to our feast even if the bells are not intended for us! This our last day of the reunion. Isabel and daughter LaDona have left to go back to Los Angeles but the rest of us have another place to go: Sparkling Hill Resort for lunch. The place is decorated with many crystals, and in the lunch area where we eat there are many crystal balls. Very impressive!

The helicopter has landed
ne of the great aspects of vacations is time for conversations. Time to re-connect with friends and families or have a long conversation with a new friend. A recent conversation was around parenting styles and the helicopter parent, hovering parent, smother mother as I used to call myself. The conversation was about extremes in parenting, from those who overprotect to those who seem to ignore. I can laugh about it now, but sometimes Michele Blais I worried too much and it did restrict my children from play that wasn’t going to hurt them. Both have their drawbacks, from anxiety for one and our fear of safety for the other. I believe that a mom’s anxious behaviour will be picked up by her child, and her anxiety will interfere with her own joyful times with her child. Parenting is tough, our children are very dear to us, we love them a great deal, and I don’t believe the yardstick for measuring our love is over-protection. When the lads were about eight and 10, I read a story in a newspaper asking us smother mothers to back off. My own childhood was carefree, and I survived. Biking without helmets, biking 20 miles a day without telling my parents
The Way I see IT
where I was going — no safety plan, no cell phone, just off with my buddies on our one-speeds on a bike adventure. I grew up in a small town that was surrounded by farms, one of which we used to live on. I would share with them at dinner where I had been. “That’s nice, dear.” My mother and father were attentive but it was just different; you would go out and play and most times say where you were going, but sometimes we would just go on our bikes. We knew we had to be home for dinner, or in the evening when the streetlights were on. We rode in cars without seat belts, with eight kids piled in the back seat with dad driving, and we thrived. I would not have liked the lads doing that, however they could play in the yard with their friends without me suggesting the games and the rules. Kids need these opportunities to be leaders, followers, create rules, live with them, settle arguments, learn to play fair independent of the watchful eye of Mommy dearest. I could be in the house, front yard, and didn’t need to hover. As I learned to relax, I found this good for both the boys and myself. “Worrying about my children is disrespectful. Concern shows love — worry shows a lack of faith.” This quote came off a calendar and has hung on my wall for years. Another great conversation involved a young adult concerned that maybe he was missing something as he wasn’t always happy and feeling up. The daily routine of working, owning a home, playing sports
did not always match the TV commercials, or movies he watched, or the ideas he had created about adult life. That’s life, most times it is very flat and maybe we need to prepare our youth for the doldrums that is often a lot of daily living. At a certain age, or after a few ups and downs of intense life with marriages, babies, schools, illnesses, activities, job changes, career climbing, busy schedules, home maintenance, finances, dull is good. It’s why those moments when you share a great laugh, cry when you hear someone sing, smile so much your face hurts, or feel that overwhelming sense of love, pride or accomplishment, are marvelous. Which leads me to my next deep thought which involved another conversation about our fast world and instant gratification. In my kids’ world if they want to know something they Google it. Instantly they know pretty much the answer to any question. If I was to compare the quest for finding the answer to a question to a wrapped Christmas gift, they don’t experience a period of not knowing what is under the paper. No shaking, searching, guessing. All their presents sit under the tree unwrapped. Instantly they have the answer and miss the joy of the quest. Which leads me to my hope that this summer you make sure to unplug, have great conversations, ask questions, discuss answers, let your kids play. Take time to swim, hike in the woods, enjoy a view, the sight of trees, flowers. Unplug and connect with each other.
Friendships began at Grace Hospital continued from A28
Our stay at the Village Green Hotel has been wonderful. The court yard outside our patio was lovely and quiet, the pond and the water fountains bubbling happily, and the yellow pansies and mums and greenery are pleasant and restful. It’s been a wonderful time together, it’s done our hearts good. I wish everyone bon voyage, see you again, good health and God bless. With love, Marie, Marjorie, Cliff and family. nnn Marie Kologie’s daughter, Marjorie Harris, shares a few of her own memories and expands on some of her mother’s thoughts: “One of the nurses who passed away recently was musician Loreena McKennitt’s mother Irene McKennitt. Mom refers to this as a first night activity, remembering those who had passed. I remember playing with Loreena as a child in the southern Manitoba hot dry summer — she
played piano even then — but we liked jumping on the bed and running outside too! “When Mom speaks about being from a rural community and being green behind the ears it includes never having
seen indoor plumbing or using a bathtub — in those days you still had to share the bath water in taking turns — yikes! “As well, nurses had to live at the hospital, working so many hours each day, learning on the
job and doing so many hours of school. They had to live in a dormitory with a matron to supervise, to make sure there was no male contact! Times were quite different from going to university now.”

Silver Star pairs wine with art Summer Wine and Food Festival at Silver Star Mountain to include artists painting on site, silent auction Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Guests to Silver Star Mountain Resort are about to enjoy some beautiful sights while they sip some of the bounty of the region. The resort is hosting the two-day Silver Star Summer Wine and Food Festival Friday, Aug. 9 and Saturday, Aug. 10, and artists are playing a big part in the festivities. Visitors will have lots of opportunity to enjoy the natural and the artistically created beauty on the mountain, and incredible wine with the signature summer tasting event during the festival, say organizers with the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society and the resort. “The summer festival and the marquee event, Mile High Wine, is an opportunity to revel in fresh mountain air and enjoy awardwinning wines from across the Okanagan Valley,” said Ian Galbraith, summer business manager at Silver Star. “Come and experience the village, ride the chairlift to the top of the mountain, and explore our worldclass hiking and mountain bike trails.” This year’s festival includes a live and interactive arts event. Okanagan artists Glenn Clark, Elizabeth Moore, Destanne Norris, Wendy Hart Penner, Barry Rafuse and Julia Trops are being hosted by the mountain’s Gallery Odin to capture the beauty and serenity of Silver Star when they paint “live” from the heart of the village. The resulting paintings will go on auction at the event. The artists will work on their pieces starting Friday at noon and all day Saturday until 4 p.m., when the Mile High Wine tasting starts, said Kal and Maria Molnar, Gallery Odin proprietors. “This will signal the beginning of the silent auction bidding process for each art work,” they said. The auction closes at 6:30 p.m. and proceeds from sales will be split 50/50 between the artists and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. Gallery Odin is also setting up a gallery,

Destanne norris, who lives at silver star mountain, is one of six artists creating original artworks over the two-day summer Wine and Food Festival at silver star mountain resort, Friday and saturday. with artwork from the featured artists as well as many others from the region who they represent, in Silver Star’s Snowsports school building, located in the village, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the festival. In addition, the gallery, located at 215 Odin Rd. on the “Knoll,” will be also open during those times. Visitors can start enjoying libation from a number of Okanagan wineries at the Mile High Wine tasting, presented by Valley First, Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. Featuring more than 100 wines, Mile High Wine offers outdoor tastings, appetizers and live entertainment along Main Street in the Silver Star Village. Guests can travel to valley wineries all under the open sky as 30 establishments from across the Okanagan showcase their new varietals at the summer signature event. Also featured will be the culinary creations of Gumtree Catering, voted best caterer of the North Okanagan by the read-
ers of Okanagan Life magazine. “Our summer tastings have been tremendously popular, so we’re delighted to create Mile High Wine as a new signature event,” said Blair Baldwin, general manager of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society. “What could be more authentically British Columbian than enjoying B.C. wine in the picturesque mountain village at Silver Star with a great band, local caterer and fantastic cheese supplied by the Dairy Farmers of Canada? Mile High Wine is ideal to sample B.C. wines from across the Okanagan Valley in a fun and stunningly beautiful setting.” A series of wine master dinners paired with Okanagan wines are also set for Friday night. Diners can choose antipasto, tapas, barbecue or fine dining options presented at the resort’s restaurants: The Bulldog Grand Café, The Bulldog Hideaway Lounge and the Silver Grill. Over the two-days, the resort is offering guided tours of the mountain trails with a
grand tour and scenic ride up the Summit Sky Chair set for Friday and a shorter tour available on Saturday afternoon. Hikers will discover the unique wildflowers, wildlife, geology and history of the mountain with a new twist on tasting, comparing wild berries to wines. The Silver Star Mountain Bike Park will also be open. Fed by the Comet Express lift, the bike park features 18 dedicated mountain bike trails and jumps and a vertical drop of 760 metres (2,000 feet). New in 2013, the crosscountry biking trail network includes seven trails in total. Those who wish to stay on the mountain can book two-night accommodation packages at the Snowbird Lodge or FireLight Lodge, or an affordable one-night stay at the The Bulldog Hotel. For tickets and information, phone 1-800663-4431, e-mail info@skisilverstar.com or visit www.skisilverstar.com.

Victoria band The Chantrelles bring their original ‘60s-style tunes to Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek Wednesday.
Chantrelles grow from the Island Morning Star Staff
Not to be confused with the edible orange-coloured spongy fungus that grows in abundance in the rainforest of Vancouver Island, The Chantrelles (not chanterelles) are a group of likeminded individuals with one goal in mind: to make you shake your tail-feather to their original ‘60s-style soul music. Hailing from Victoria, these soulrevival masters do their forebears proud. The seven-piece band’s horn section fills out a groovy rhythm section loaded with brilliant pocket players while Chance Lovett’s smoky, seductive vocals entice and excite. Currently on a Western Canadian tour, The Chantrelles stop by Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek Wednesday. Their stylish stage presence complements a tight but gritty sound that is reminiscent of Stax- and Volt-era bands. The Chantrelles are far from a nostalgia act, however. Their original tunes are said to be so well written and soulful that they revitalize rather
than just recall their influences. With the release of their first seven-inch vinyl/digital single last summer, the band has since toured the highways and byways of their dearly beloved Canada to play for fanatic soul fans of all ages. There’s a lot on the horizon for this promising young band. A sold-out show at the Rifflandia Festival, glowing reviews on CBC Radio and in Discorder and Feedback magazines, and a performance at the 2013 Squamish Valley Music Festival are just some of their recent successes. They are hard at work preparing their first full-length release and to get the word out they’ve hit the road this month to beautiful places across B.C. and Alberta. So come get out and join ‘em for the shimmy, boogaloo and maybe even a camel walk or two. The Chantrelles play Lorenzo’s Café, 10 kilometres east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Road, Wednesday at 8 p.m. Call the café at 250-838-6700 for reservations.

A history of Japanese culture
Museum celebrates Japanese pioneers and their family’s contributions to Lake Country For The Morning Star
The Kakonosedai exhibition, opening Saturday, Aug. 10, is the third of the Lake Country Museum’s special exhibitions. Kakonosedai: A Century of Community celebrates the Japanese pioneers of Lake Country and their descendants, with a look at what they brought with them from Japan to Canada in the late1800s and early-1900s. The exhibition showcases the efforts by Japanese pioneers to blend the old and new to end up with a new way of life in their Canadian home. On display will be a collection of original artefacts, photographs and personal documents to supplement

A European and Japanese crew work at the Rainbow Ranch, circa 1920s. The photo is part of Kakonosedai: A Century of Community, opening at the Lake Country Museum in Okanagan Centre, Saturday. the existing stories of these courageous people. “One of the most important aspects of this exhibition is that almost all of the pieces that will be on display have been provided by the Japanese-Canadians of this area or their family members,” said Lake Country Museum curator Dan Bruce. “It is safe to say that none of the objects will have ever been shown before.” The museum has worked in partnership with the Japanese-Canadian community for more than a year to develop this compelling exhibition, with contributions from descendants across Canada as well as those who still live in Lake Country or the Okanagan. “This is a significant project for the museum and for the community as a whole,” said Dr. Duane Thomson, president of the Lake Country Heritage and Cultural
Society. “The opportunity to present this rich history of Lake Country’s settlement has been incredibly rewarding.” Kakonosedai: A Century of Community is a continuing series of events to tell the story of the first JapaneseCanadian pioneers of the community and their experiences during the period from 1899 to pre-First World War (1939). Funding for the exhibition has been provided by The Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation, Vancouver, B.C. “I am grateful for the enthusiasm with which the idea of the exhibition was received by the JapaneseCanadian community and their whole-hearted participation in sharing their artefacts and personal stories,” said Bruce. “The visiting public will gain an appreciation of what it was like to be born and grow up in a very
distinct cultural tradition. It was especially different from Canada in every sense of the word.

Coroner urges safety on area waterways Morning Star Staff
With the British Columbia Day long weekend underway, the BC Coroners Service is again urging residents and visitors to take care while enjoying recreational water activities, especially boating and swimming. A new review just completed by the Coroners Service shows that boating is significantly the highest-risk activity for drowning among recreational water users. A total of 37.5 per cent of persons who drowned in recreational cases in the five-and-a-half years from Jan. 1, 2008 to July 29, 2013, were engaged in some type of boating activity at the time. This included powerboats, rowboats, sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and pontoon boats, and also those who were fishing from a boat when things went wrong. The single most effective step to take while boating in any small craft is to wear a properly-fitted personal floatation device (PFD) at all times when on the water. A study from the University of Washington suggests that as many as one in two recreationalboating deaths would be prevented by this one step alone. Another study, from the New York state health department, found that more than 70 per cent of recreational boating deaths occurred when the person became separated from their water craft, either through falling overboard, the boat capsizing, or even deliberately choosing to go for a swim. In all those cases, the fact that
a PFD was aboard the boat was of no assistance to the person. The Coroners Service review shows that the second-most risky activity in recreational water use is swimming, with 28 per cent of the deaths occurring amongst swimmers. The total number of
accidental drownings from Jan. 1 to July 29 this year in B.C. is 45, exactly the average of the past five years and a slight decrease from 2012 figures. However, August is historically the month with the highest number of drowning cases, prompting a need for ongoing vigilance.
Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist marcia beley
it is a myth that you must have a bowel movement every day. For some people, three times daily is normal. For others, it would be every second or third day. Some people believe that “toxins” will build up if you don’t evacuate your bowels daily. That’s another myth. There has been much information about 3D printers in the media lately. The applications of this new technology is being investigated by medical scientists and one of the first body parts there are trying to produce is a human ear. it is early for the medical uses of 3D printing but the future looks very exciting. medications can have side effects but most cause no problems. Some classes of drugs can affect your sense of balance and that can be a problem especially in the elderly. These drugs include drugs to treat depression, high blood pressure and heart problems, sleep problems and anxiety. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist if you care concerned about the side effect of any drug you are taking. in Wales, back in april, there was a marked increase in the number of cases of measles. mass vaccinations took place to prevent the spread of this disease. it points out that many parents are not vaccinating their children against measles and other preventable diseases. immunization really does work! For questions about immunization, drug side effects or other health-related problems, talk to our pharmacists: a great source of reliable health information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you feel that you have to make an important decision that involves others and could have far-reaching effects, it’s important to have the courage of your convictions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A situation in which you’ve worked hard for something that is being denied you is likely to be rectified today. It pays to keep the faith. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Although you have established a valuable contact, thus far you haven’t handled a relationship to the best of your advantage, or even to the other party’s. Try to make up for lost time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t give up on something worthwhile that you’ve been pursuing. The results you’ve been hoping for could be much closer than you think. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your mental acuity can be your greatest asset. If you think resourcefully, there’s no doubt that you’ll have the ability to interest the right people and get the help you need. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You’ll have the rare knack of being able to turn an unusual development to your advantage. Once you get on a roll, you might do this in two or more instances.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t delegate an important chore to a lesstalented person. This can be a rewarding day for you, provided you select the right person to do the job -- it might have to be you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Allow your extremely perceptive mind to spot where your best chances for making a good profit lie. Your instincts should be right on the money, so pay attention to them. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Because you’ll work effectively in most group involvements today, try to avoid solitary pursuits. When all is said and done, the results will be exceptionally gratifying. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t be hesitant in attempting to fulfill an important ambition. Numerous challenges will awaken all kinds of latent talents that you may not have known existed.
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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder READ THE LEAD TO MAKE THE CONTRACT Mark Twain said, “A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.” That can also apply to bridge. The player who does not pay any attention to the opening lead has no advantage over the player who sees it but fails to work out what information it imparts. Sometimes declarer can work out what to do just by analyzing the opening lead. In this example, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest spade five? This is surely the most common two-bid auction. It is true that on this deal, three no-trump can be
defeated if West is inspired enough to lead a heart, and five diamonds can always be made with a good guess in the trump suit. But if you try to get to five of a minor with two balanced hands opposite each other, you will be a big loser in the long run. Go for the nine-trick game unless you are sure it cannot make. South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, two diamonds and three clubs. And if the diamonds run, there is an overtrick waiting in the wings. But if the diamonds are 3-0, who has the tripleton? Read West’s lead. How many spades did he start with? Since South can see the two, three and four, West must have led from exactly
a four-card suit. And if he is void in diamonds, he must have at least five hearts or five clubs and surely would have led from that suit -length rules in no-trump. So only East can be void in diamonds. Declarer should take the first trick and cash the diamond ace. Flyers, coupons deals and money saving tips all in one place!

Jack Cole July 8, 1941 – August 1, 2013 At 4:30am on Thursday, August 1, 2013, exactly 50 years to the minute from the date and time of his dad’s passing, Jack Cole slipped peacefully from this life with his wife and children at his side. Jack believed in hard work, honesty and laughter, which was evident in the number of good friends he made throughout his life, but his priority was always his family. This sense of family commitment was a factor when Jack completed his electrical apprenticeship and joined the workforce. From 1969 to 1992 Jack worked with his brother Marv at Gateway Electric. After moving to Vernon, he started JC Electric with his son, Bob in 1992. They worked hard to make JC Electric the success it is today. Jack and June opened Westside Pro Hardware in 1997, which they ran together until it closed in 2011 when Jack retired at the age of 70. The hardware store was one of Jack’s great adventures. He had a true appreciation of his customers and was often heard saying how great they were. Jack was happiest spending time with his family boating, fishing, playing cards or enjoying some time at the casino. His kind, generous spirit showed in his ability to make everyone in his presence feel welcome and appreciated. Jack will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 48 years, June, his daughter Lorrie-Rae (Mike) Flynn and his son Bob (Nicky) Cole. Jack is further survived by his sister Dorothy Turick and his brother Jim (Sharman) Cole. He was predeceased by his mother and father, Jim and Annie Cole and his brothers, Norman and Marvin Cole. Prayers will be held on Friday, August 9, 2013 at 7:00pm. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 11:30am, both at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home (4303 Pleasant Valley Road). Following the service, the Cole family invite Jack’s friends and family to join them for refreshments in the reception room. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation in Jack’s memory.
