Residents urged to be bear aware JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
If the bears don’t get it, someone else is lurking the streets of Vernon at night, on the hunt for garbage. WildSafe B.C. has deployed a new tactic to make residents bear aware – Tessa Coulthard. Thanks to the City of Vernon, the newly hired WildSafe B.C. ambassador is helping to keep wildlife wild and communities safe. Part of that job includes garbage tagging. She’s armed with a keen eye, education in the field and an arsenal of sighting reports so she knows where high target areas area. She will be out at night hunting for garbage each week in Vernon neighbourhoods which have had bear sightings (she doesn’t work in the outlying communities). Any garbage cans left out the night prior to garbage pickup will be tagged with an easily removable warning sticker that identifies the garbage as bear attractant. “People don’t understand their actions cause bears to stick around,” said Coulthard. Some Blue Jay/Goose Lake residents may have already pulled their bins in to discover the stickers, as Coulthard was out last week. “We find it’s the most effective way to get people to keep their garbage in a secure place until morning.” Coulthard has already been going doorto-door letting people know if a bear has been spotted in their area – and that includes almost every outer region of town. “In the last couple of weeks we’ve had bears up Bella Vista Road, out Old
Kamloops Road by Goose Lake, Eastside Road, Keddleston...,” she said, noting that while there are other wildlife sightings, bears are the No. 1 issue. Although bear sightings aren’t uncommon, the number so far this year is not unusual, according to conservation officers, whom Coulthard is in close contact with. “We don’t really like to see them out in neighbourhoods though.” As a result, steps to prevent animals from needing to be destroyed can be taken. “Once you see a bear in your neighourhood, it’s time to take down your bird feeders, manage your compost and keep your garbage secure until morning pickup. “It reduces the number of bears that have to be destroyed because we don’t relocate bears here,” she said, as once a bear gets a taste for garbage, it will continue to seek out garbage as a food source. Residents can assist WildSafe B.C.’s efforts by mapping their sightings through the Wildlife Alert Reporting Program. The interactive map shows sightings for particular areas. For example there was a cougar on Pinto Road (above Bella Vista) recently and someone spotted a black bear in Enderby Wednesday. “We live here because it’s beautiful and there’s lots of nature and wildlife and we have to respect that,” said Coulthard, who is working locally until August, when she returns to the University of Victoria.

Deep divisions wash in over Shuswap boat ban RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Regional District of North Okanagan is navigating turbulent waters over a proposed boat ban on parts of the Shuswap River. A range of opinions flooded in during public open houses in Enderby Wednesday and rural Lumby Thursday. “We’re hearing a lot of different views,” said Anna Page, sustainability co-ordinator. The proposed regulations for the river include no motorized vessels from south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuck Rapids Park. It’s also suggested that there be a vessel engine size limit
of 10 horsepower from Mara Lake upstream to Trinity Valley Road. “A lot are not in agreement and some are not comfortable with it but they recognize something must be done. Those in support were also there,” said Page. “It’s a good starting point and it shows us there’s a lot of interest and people want to be involved.” RDNO’s intent is to improve recreational safety, reduce bank erosion, reduce disturbance to salmon spawning grounds and minimize conflicts between river users. About 242 people attended the meeting at the Enderby Drill Hall and there were about 50 at the Mabel Lake Community Hall. “People had time to give their input and the (public)

process will go on until the end of August,” said Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director. Surveys can also be completed online at www.rdno.ca/ boating and they will be mailed to property owners adjoining the river in the affected areas. “The whole goal is to get a feeling for what the community wants,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. Halvorson insists that a final decision on the regulations has not been made. “We will then take a look at it and then see where it goes,” he said of maintaining the proposal as is, amending the plan or scrapping the concept altogether. If RDNO proceeds with some form of regulations, the final decision will be made by Transport Canada.

Enderby grads leave their mark Jennifer Smith

A.L. Fortune graduate Victoria Drabiuk uses a stencil to leave her mark on the road outside of the school Friday morning. Zack Moore (top right) isn’t afraid to be colourful as he takes part in the Fortune tradition. For a video of the event visit www.vernonmorningstar.com
espite missing out on most of the school year as he took up a college program, Zack Moore didn’t miss the opportunity to take in a long-standing grad tradition at A.L. Fortune Secondary. Armed with pink and green spray paint cans, Moore left his final mark on the institution that has helped shape him into the man he is today. Moore actually finished Grade 12 last year so he could take part in a college welding program. “I haven’t really been at the school very much,” said Moore, who is also doing a bit of forestry work but plans to end up in a welding career. Moore was one of the 49 Enderby graduates who decorated the street in front of the school Friday morning. “They certainly look forward to it,” said principal Gene Doray. Since the high school leaves a major impression on each of the students, it is a tradition that the graduates get to leave their mark on the school. “I was here a dozen years ago and at that stage it was already a longstanding tradition,” said Doray. “It pre-dates me, for sure.” But the colourful tags of names surrounded by Chevy bow ties, Ford power symbols and artistic expressions aren’t the only mark the Grade 12s are leaving. Throughout the year, they have been busy helping to shape future grads. “For the Grade 12s it’s a full year of fun stuff for them,” said Doray, noting more than just the prom. There’s the Grade 8 camp, where Grade 12s are the chaperones, then the grade 8/12 dance where the Grade 12s host a dinner and a dance for the Grade 8s. “This year, the Grade 12s have been fantastic because they’ve taken it and just sort of mentored grade 8’s all year long.” This year’s grad class is down
from last year by a handful, but not as small as what is projected for the class of 2016. “Next year will be our smallest class ever I think,” said Dorey of the 37 graduates. But, he adds: “while the school district numbers continue to drop, Enderby is actually starting to flatten out and then increase, which is nice.” The school was looking at 220 students this year, but actually ended up with 256.

Water review still on tap
WATKINMOTORS.COM

richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Local politicians insist their minds aren’t made up when it comes to Greater Vernon’s water utility. On Thursday, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee members considered 21 assumptions that impact the master water plan. “We have to look at whether the assumptions are still relevant and we’re not precluding anything,” said Juliette Cunningham, chairperson. The master water plan is being revisited after a majority of voters shot down borrowing $70 million in November for system upgrades. The assumptions range from filtration being a requirement of Interior Health to establishment of a water license on Okanagan Lake and treating all customers equally. While few changes were made to the assumptions, Cunningham says that doesn’t mean the scope of the master water plan won’t evolve. “Those assumptions can apply to any of the options chosen and it’s just the start of the process.” However, director Gyula Kiss questions the

steps GVAC is taking. “Who is directing it? It looks like staff is directing it,” he said. “There should be an independent review of the plan by an individual who knows about water or a company with no connections to the consultants (who drafted the plan). We always seem to be sticking to the options presented prior to the referendum.” A stakeholder committee will be formed as part of the process, but Kiss doubts he will be involved. “I am considered to be biased against the system. But anyone else is biased the other way,” he said.

“There might be some parks that would be required.”
Morning Star Staff
An event that kicked off 30 years ago in Vernon, could possibly be returning, and has gained another player in support. The District of Coldstream has joined the roster of communities supporting the bid for the 55-Plus B.C. Games, joining Vernon, ArmstrongSpallumcheen Parks and Recreation Commission and the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee.
— Doug Ross
A bid package is being submitted June 26 for Vernon to host the 2017, 2018 or 2019 Games, with preference for the Sept. 12 to 16, 2017 anniversary Games. It’s expected that the results will be known in
September. “There might be some local Coldstream parks that would be required,” said Doug Ross, Vernon’s director of recreation. Sovereign Park as well as tennis courts at Middleton Mountain,
Kalavista and Kalamalka Secondary are just some of the potential spaces being needed. “There is the opportunity that between now and when the Games are hosted another venue might come up,” said Ross. Pickleball is just one of the sports that would fill local courts if Vernon earns the Games’ bid. “They had about 220 participants in pickleball at the Langley Games,” said Ross.

Taste of summer on the menu Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
It’s a spoonful of goodness. Laid upon one of those white wonton soup spoons is a mini lobster Cobb salad topped with crispy prosciutto. Prepared by Inna Turchin, the co-owner and executive chef at Bourbon Street Bar and Grill, it is a sample of one of many appetizers Bourbon Street will prepare for its second annual Savour the Okanagan event. The wine and culinary experience, a fundraiser for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Tower of Care Phase Two campaign, takes place at the restaurant in Vernon’s Prestige Hotel July 25. “This is another example of the community locally and far and wide coming together for a great cause to support VJH and raise money for the top two floors of Polson Tower,” said Dr. Chris Cunningham, campaign co-chairperson with Richard Finn. With 100 tickets sold last year, organizers, including Bourbon Street co-owner Rick Reichelt, hope to sell 180 tickets this year. “Some winery events can get so packed; here people can talk to each of the wineries,” he said. “It is a happy and relaxed event, where people can walk around and stop at the cocktail tables,” added Lisa Grant, Vernon Prestige Hotel convention and sales manager. Not only will guests be able to taste a variety of wines from 23 different Okanagan win-
eries, there will also be a variety of beers from Okanagan Spring Brewery, spirits from Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery, and ciders from the BX Press. Turchin has many savoury appetizers planned, some of which include Cajun seared tuna and house smoked pork belly club sandwiches, oysters on the half shell, and a marble slab of charcuterie with local cheeses and smoked meats that, she says, will pair nicely with the wines and other libation. “We have so many different wineries with so many different wines,” she said. “There will be many different textures and flavours, cold and hot appetizers, and people can be the sommelier and pick the wines to go with them.” Vernon’s Olive Us! is also part of the event and Turchin will be using their olive oils and vinegars to create some of her hors d’oeuvres. “All our meat is exclusively from Helmut’s Sausage and the cheeses come from Happy Days Goat Farm in the Shuswap, Village Cheese in Armstrong and the Naramata Bench,” said Turchin. With entertainment supplied by musician Steve Todd, the event will also feature a silent auction of goods donated by wineries and other businesses. All proceeds from the auction and ticket sales are going to the VJH Tower of Care Phase Two campaign. “This may be the last fundraiser for this particular campaign,” said Sue Beaudry, with

The cause of these headaches is often overlooked because much of the pain can actually be referred from the neck. When I perform an examination, I often find that the patient may also suffer from neck pain, neck restriction, tight cervical muscles, muscular trigger points, postural imbalances, tingling in the hands, and sometimes arm pain. X-rays often reveal that the natural spinal curve and alignment of the vertebrae have been lost. When nerves in your spine get pinched, they alert you with pain. The relationship between such misalignments of the neck and headaches is so common that it is even given its own category: cervicogenic headaches. I am also alarmed at the number of children who suffer headaches that are told it is a normal part of growing. There is nothing “normal” about headaches or neck pain. The cause should always be sought. If these problems sound familiar to you or a child you know, one consultation with our office may change the rest of your/their life.

Some headache sufferers experience headaches so frequently and for so long that they begin to think it must be normal for them. CAT scans of the head in search of the cause frequently come up negative. Treatment usually ends up being some form of pain-killing drug, which can lead to unwanted side effects and may not address the cause of the problem.

Bargaining rights and wrongs
I
saw on the news that the euro is down compared to the dollar. “Europe,” they said, “is on sale. Tourists are flocking there to take advantage of the favorable exchange rate.” Then they showed an American woman shopping for shoes. “They’re a bargain,” she said. Yes, a bargain. Where else could she possibly have bought a pair of shoes so inexpensively? Why, all she had to do was cough up $1,000 for a round-trip plane ticket to Europe, then rent an average hotel room for $350 a night. What a bargain! At the mall 15 minutes from her house, she would have paid $3 more for those Jim Mullen same shoes. I am all for people travelling, but don’t tell me it’s a bargain. No one in Europe is giving things away. The euro’s not worth nothing; it’s just worth less than it was last year. Still, I hear the word bargain a lot. A guy at my health club was going on and on about what a bargain property in Florida is right now. “Why, you could buy an $800,000 house down there now for $600,000. It’s a bargain,” he said. Yes, I should go snap it up. If only I weren’t about $599,000 short. It seems that my house is worth a lot less than it used to be, too. The word bargain has been misused for a long time. When Henry Luce, the founder of Time magazine, travelled around Europe in the ‘60s, it wasn’t uncommon for him to ask his reporters and bureau chiefs to show him around and tell him what was going on. One reporter impressed Luce so much that, as he was leaving, the wealthy publisher turned to the reporter and said, “Let me give you a tip.” Expecting to hear something about the stock market, the reporter was all ears.
VILLAGE IDIOT
“Buy Rembrandts,” Luce told him. “They’re a bargain. The Picassos are overpriced.” It was good advice, but not of much use, even to a high-salaried employee. There is a store near us that Sue likes to shop at because it has such good bargains. Their price tags always seem to say things like, “was $60, now $29.99!” Something tells me these items were always meant to be sold for $19.99, but Sue keeps insisting she is getting a bargain. Would they be selling them for that price if they were losing money on every sale? Not for long. Why can’t she spend money wisely, the way I do? I only buy the necessities. Like that electric tortilla maker I bought yesterday for $49. Now we can make our own tortillas anytime we want, instead of buying expensive tortillas at the store. “For $49, you could have bought enough tortillas to fill the garage. We could eat them every night for five years and still have plenty left over,” Sue told me. “Of course, we’d have to build another garage for the tortillas, because ours is already full of junk you’ve bought that we never use. It looks like Ron Popeil’s warehouse. You’d think with all the exercise equipment in there, at least you’d be skinny. What do you do with the NordicTrack and the Bowflex? Sleep on them? You’re not getting buff; our FedEx guy is getting buff from carrying all that junk to the front door.” “Junk! I think the word you’re looking for is collectibles. These are savvy, wily purchases that will make our retirement dreams come true.” “My recurring retirement dream is to be living off your life insurance. Of course, I’ll probably have to move to Europe because the dollar will go farther over there.” Ha. The joke’s on her. I already cashed in my retirement fund to buy a few things on eBay. Where does she think I got the money for all those Beanie Babies? They don’t grow on trees. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
North Okanagan residents need to remember that we aren’t the only ones who call the region home. Besides us, there are a lot of four-legged creatures, whether it’s bears, coyotes, cougars or a host of other animals. In fact, they have been in the region a lot longer than we have. And while they are beautiful to look at, there’s no question that a shared habitat means conflicts between people and wildlife can occur. And that’s particularly the case as bears continuously look for food. That’s why the Wildsafe B.C. program is so fundamentally important, and particularly ambassador Tess Coulthard’s educating Vernon residents about how to deter bears from visiting neighbourhoods. “People don’t understand their actions cause bears to stick around,” said Coulthard. The biggest problem is leaving garbage cans out where bears can access them. Once they have discovered a veritable smorgasbord, they will return. As a result, there’s the potential for a bear to come into conflict with a person or a pet, and ultimately that means the bear must be destroyed as relocation rarely works when a bear is addicted to garbage. Beyond garbage cans, residents can help keep bears away by taking down bird feeders, securing compost piles and barbecues and cleaning up ripe fruit. All of this may seem like a lot of work but taking these measures could save a life — wild or human. “We live here because it’s beautiful and there’s lots of nature and wildlife and we have to respect that,” said Coulthard.

Area director defends decision
n response to the editorial June 5, I would like to offer the following comments. The editorial suggested that I was not being patriotic and also not acting in the best interests of the Greater Vernon community by voting against a City of Vernon motion to compel the chairperson of the board to contribute $2,000 from his discretionary fund to the Vernon Canada Day event. I am very aware of the close ties between the City of Vernon, electoral areas B and C and Coldstream. I am committed to working co-operatively with our Greater Vernon partners in many shared enterprises, especially parks, recreation, culture and water. It is not the Canada Day events to which I am opposed, but rather, the manner the City of Vernon directors, with Coldstream’s compliance, chose to extract the funds from the board chairperson’s discretionary fund through the process of a weighted corporate vote. Although the dollar values are relatively small, it
TRASH I totally support David Gregory's letter on garbage concerns. I was taught at a very early age by my parents to stuff my garbage into my pockets if there was no alternative. Of course my garbage wasn't sticky, however, I am so grateful for their teaching. It bothers me to hear of schools and other places having clean-up days. What is wrong with teaching children not to throw garbage down in the first place? If this happened, clean-up days would no longer be necessary. Littering is an offence and learning to look after our beautiful Earth is an important life skill. We all need to remember the importance of leaving a place in better shape than we found it. Times have changed and in many ways for the better. We now have plastic bags for garbage use and lots of garbage containers around the city. We all need to step up as mentors and teach our children respect, especially at an early age. Children also need to be recognized for their efforts. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child. Patricia Hesketh COMMUNITY GARDEN Well, tomorrow it's my shift to fill the rain barrels seeing that the rain man hasn't been around too much. You see, there are 50 gardens at the West Vernon community garden, which have had no water for a couple weeks now. These gardens are mainly rented by seniors and even with the barrels, it's not easy for them to carry the buckets, so some have given up or are just waiting patiently for some miracle to happen. There are rumours of

why the water line is broke or cut off but I won't get into that. These seniors not only grow crops for food, but also for socializing with gardeners. Timothy Presslaber HIGH TAXES We just received our 2015 property tax notice. The insert says there's a, "3.42 per cent overall increase in all property tax revenue." Our home is the same as it was last year, the year before that, and the year before that, but our property taxes are 14.64 per cent higher this year than last. Do you ever have the feeling that you can't win? Don Rollins WATER USE Perhaps someone can tell me why residential users are asked to water at night while the corn fields just outside of town are allowed to be watered during the heat of the day? The loss due to evaporation must be enormous. This is particularly galling when residential customers using the same water are subsidizing these users through the exorbitant rates they are being charged to the point we are paying twice as much as Penticton residential users and three times that of Kelowna residents. Given such wasteful practises, the subsidization of commercial users should end and water rates brought down to a reasonable level. Brian Sutch NORTH WESTSIDE WATER In 2010, the Regional District of Central Okanagan proposed drastic increases in the water rates to make funding “sustainable." In my case (Westshores), the annual rates would increase
and the other electoral areas all contribute to the Vernon event while at the same time paying for their own celebrations with no RDNO contribution. This is hardly fair. Also, I believe compelling the board chairperson to contribute just under half of his discretionary fund to this purpose shows disrespect for both the position of chairperson and to director Fairbairn himself. Perhaps a request could have been made instead. I believe Canada is the best country in the world and that we have the great good fortune to live in one of the best communities in Canada. By working co-operatively in local government and avoiding the type of bullying political maneuvers such as that which occurred, we can work towards making our community and the entire region, the best it can be. Bob Fleming, Area B director
from about $400 in 2010 to $1,200 in 2015 and $1,600 by 2030. Their projected rates for an average user like myself were similar at $432 in 2011to $1182 by 2015. These rates assumed a 100 per cent contribution by ratepayers with no grants available for the renewal costs. They also allowed a 90 cubic meter threshold per quarter before a 35 cent surcharge kicked in. In fact, my actual rates over the past five years are closely parallel to their projected rates. It was stated five years ago that the new rate structure would be sustainable and no more major increases would be necessary. Their math at the time stated we had 235 connections and about 250 unoccupied lots. It also stated we had average annual revenue of $166,000, (whatever that means - 235 x $400 = $93,000 + 250 unoccupied lots?) and operations and maintenance costs of $129,000. And we needed an extra $309,000 hence the need for higher rates. Their present day math says 250 connections of 520 parcels. The math gives 250 x $256 = $64,000 + 270 x $145.50=$39,339). About $103,000 revenue from average users per quarter. That is $412,000 per year! They say they only had $114,000 revenue (per year?) If it’s per quarter (be specific RDCO) that’s $456,000 per year (and your operating costs would be $668,000 per year). The stated operating costs were $129,000 in 2011. Give us a break, and take a reality trip — cut costs and expenses first. Maybe director, Carson could call a town hall meeting over such an important issue which affects all of us. Dave Robertson

Equipment gets the heave-ho Some considerable change is being spent to replace a hefty piece of machinery in Coldstream. A 1995 John Deere backhoe was scheduled to be replaced in 2016, but some pricey repairs have bumped up the need to replace the machine early. Indications are repairs could cost between $12,000 and $15,000. There is currently $160,000 allocated for this equipment replacement. “This particular unit is scheduled to be replaced next year anyway,” said Trevor Seibel, chief administrative officer.

Coldstream is hoping to cash in on Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation. The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program will invest $150 million over two years to support projects that will rehabilitate existing community facilities across Canada. The program will fund up to 50 per cent of projects up to a maximum of $500,000. Coldstream is hoping to get a share of that funding for the Coldstream Creek Road multi use shoulder project (from McClounie to Cosens Bay roads). “As the estimated cost to complete this pathway will be approximately $450,000 it is deemed prudent to achieve cost-sharing from senior government,” said Patricia Higgins, director of financial administration, in her report to council. The district’s portion of the project costs will be funded from the pavement management reserve. Part of the project would include relocating existing hydro poles. “They will need to be moved in order to accommodate the width,” said Trevor Seibel, chief administrative officer. But instead of moving them across the street, Coun. Peter McClean would like to see staff investigate whether there is a right-of-way B.C. Hydro has. “I would suggest that the property owners are approached to see if we can get those poles moved onto their properties.”

Okanagan-Shuswap Greens have reignited plans for the upcoming federal election after a setback. Vernon’s Keli Westgate and Notch Hill’s Chris George will seek the party’s nomination July 23. The position came open after candidate Dave Smith resigned May 24 over what he described as irreconcilable differences with members of the local party. Westgate works in multimedia, permaculture and composting and she is a director with O’Keefe Ranch and the Sustainable Environment Network Society. Keli Westgate “I am passionate about sustainable development, local small business, affordable housing, and creating ‘green’ jobs for young people in the North
Okanagan-Shuswap,” she said. George is a full-time university student with 25 years experience in small business. He ran for the provincial Greens in 2013. “I am very concerned about this government’s willingness to give away our resources and our children’s futures via a series of ill considered trade deals,” he said. Anyone wanting to vote at the nomination meeting must be a member of the Green Party for 30 days prior to the event. “Green support keeps rising”, said Greig Crockett, with the party’s local executive. “They are looking for green Chris George alternatives to our crumbling resource-based economy. They are afraid of Harper’s devastating attack on democracy. They want action on climate change.”

fter conquering the world as a kick boxer, cyclist and a member of the Israeli military, Leah Goldstein is now tackling the world of literature. Born in Vancouver, raised in Israel and now living in Vernon for the past 12 years training as a cyclist, her memoir, No Limits, hit stores at the beginning of the month. War stories, horrific bike crashes and championship fights; this book is stuffed with stories about her fearless life and the path she carved becoming the women she is today. Lori Moger “Everything I do is intense and extreme - beyond extreme. It’s pressure I put on myself and it’s what I need to do to accomplish my goals,” said Goldstein. “I put the same pressure on myself to make this book as real as possible.” Goldstein, more known for her competitiveness and drive to win, wasn’t the best writer for the job. She needed help and found it at an unlikely source. Lori Moger is a kinesiologist who used to own Breakaway Fitness. The two met when Goldstein was looking for some part-time work in between bike competitions. “We taught some yoga classes together and got along really great,” said Goldstein. Moger was a little hesitant when first approached to write the book. Her previous writing experience included her thesis for her masters and writing a few pieces for some scientific journals. “It’s totally different than anything I’ve ever done,” said Moger, who has been great friends with Goldstein going on six years. “Her story is stunning. I initially didn’t want to write it because I didn’t think I could do it justice.” At this point, Goldstein had already burned through two writers and six years of work. “It was either, I find the right person to do this story or the project wouldn’t happen,” said Goldstein. “I had a feeling she was the right person and once she started; I never doubted it for a second.” Moger started with few chapters at a

time, handing them out to her peers and Goldstein to test the waters on whether this project would sink or swim. “I still wasn’t sure I was the right fit at this point, but she liked my work and the way it sounded, so we kept going,” said Moger. The read is intense as an earthquake. Growing up with a muscle discrepancy in her leg and being told she could never play sports, Goldstein became a world-champion kick boxer by the age of 17. Shortly after, she enrolled in the Israeli military and became one of the few female instructors of the elite Commando division. From there, she tackled a 12-year professional cycling career with lifethreatening crashes and world record-breaking times. Dr. Trinity Smith and Dr. Carey Keith “She is a really private person, We Welcome you to visit us I needed to get all the details out of her to give this book some real at our new location colour and life,” said Moger. The two spent three years collaborating on the book, including a trip to Israel so Moger could learn more about Goldstein’s upbringing. “This book has a little bit of everything. It’s an intense roller coaster,” said Moger. “It’s scary, sad, heart breaking and power1901 Kal Lake Rd, Vernon • 250-549-0402 ful.

ing in disbelief of what Goldstein went through.” Wings Tap and Grill will be hosting a book launch Thursday. Goldstein and Moger will be on hand signing copies of the book and sharing stories. Linda Edgecombe, who has been named one of the top-60 motivational speakers in the world will emcee the event. Moger and Goldstein now run No Finish Line Living in Vernon, a company designed to motivate people into a healthy lifestyle through personal training and motivational speaking. “My pro days are behind me, but I have the knowledge from previous experiences that might be able to help people out with their struggles,” said Goldstein. With Goldstein’s pro-cycling days behind her, she stays busy by speaking at-risk youth groups and at the end of every nine-week Employment for Youth program with Community Futures, she speaks to the group for a few days. Goldstein and Moger will also be accepting donations for the kids in the Employment for Youth program during the book launch. “Who knows what will be next. Maybe if people like this book so much they will make a movie on me,” laughed Goldstein. When asked who would play her in the film, Moger jokingly said, “How about Sylvester Stallone?”

They played golf for 15-and-a-half hours in scorching heat. Tired and sore after 180 holes, Myles Johnson and Jesse Crowe were all smiles after raising $2,500 for the ALS Society of B.C. The longtime buddies and golf pros teed off Monday at 4:52 a.m. and completed their 10th round at 8:15 p.m. at the Salmon Arm Golf & Country Club. Crowe, a 35-year-old Vernonite and teaching pro in Salmon Arm, said he felt decent Tuesday morning. He has been working with a personal trainer for a few months. “Losing 30 pounds has helped a lot as I could hardly swing a year ago,” said Crowe. “My neck and ribs were a little stiff the next day but it’s nothing compared to what people who live with ALS have to deal with everyday. Some golfers get to play one round a year with their best pal. It was awesome to be out there and play that many holes with my best buddy.” Johnson, 33, is the head professional at Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. He was

2015 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
40
th
Anniversary September 17, 2015
Smart & Caring Community Campaign Update The Foundation’s Smart & Caring Communities campaign kicked off in October 2014 with a goal of raising $1 million per year for the next three years. Our sights are set on growing our endowment fund from $14 million to $17 million by 2017 and this would be a wonderful gift to our North Okanagan community on our country’s 150th birthday! We are happy to report that at this point in our first year we have surpassed the $400,000 mark and have spoken with many donors who intend to make their gifts before our year end September 30th. We encourage you to consider a gift of any amount at any time. Whether you are interested in starting a “Designated Fund” to benefit a favourite charity, or want to start a “Donor Advised Fund”, your gift will help us attain our goal of supporting our community. A gift to the “Smart & Caring Community Fund” is the perfect way to earmark your gift for our annual community grants cycle
and ensure your gift remains responsive to ever changing community needs. Regardless of size, all donations generate income. By pooling gifts within our endowed fund costs are minimized and the impact of each gift is maximized. The beauty of the endowment model is that by investing the capital of each contribution we can generate investment income for the charitable sector forever.
Tom Christensen, Smart and Caring Community Fund Campaign Chair.
It’s not too late to take advantage of our Matching Program! Gifts of $500 or more to the “Smart & Caring Community Fund” will be doubled up to a maximum of $10,000 per person. Congratulations to the following donors who have already ‘doubled their impact’: Gord and Linda Ball, Cheryl Gareb, Shell Duggan, Ruth Hoyte, Lloyd Davies and Janet Armstrong, Min Sidhu, Carol Lippert, Lisa Salt. For more information please contact Leanne at 250.542.8655 or Leanne@cfno.org
Getting Their Feet Wet The main reason Janet and Lloyd were attracted to the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan is the ‘one stop giving’ aspect the Foundation offers. Janet is a wonderfully creative artist who believes strongly in the inspirational and healing properties of the arts. Lloyd taught at Okanagan College for well over 25 years and is drawn to education and the possibilities if holds for students at all levels. They both believe in the power of education, the opportunities of innovation and the importance of poverty reduction. When Janet and Lloyd heard about CFNO’s “Smart & Caring Community Fund” and learned that by leaving their fund ‘open’ to respond to ever changing community needs they were thrilled.
As Janet, an avid volunteer in our area explains, “Over the years I have volunteered with so many local groups that have had the good fortune to receive a Foundation Community Grant. What better way to give back to the community Lloyd and I love than to make an ongoing investment to this wonderfully flexible and relevant fund!”
Janet Armstrong and Lloyd Davies start their own legacy
For Now - Forever
Janet and Lloyd recently started their fund with a modest donation that was matched by the “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” matching program. As Lloyd points out, “Not only were we able to make our initial gift, we also got to watch it double instantly. Now that’s an impressive return on investment!”

Community Foundation of the North Okanagan A Message from the President Philanthropy: “The effort or inclination to increase the well-being of humankind, as by charitable aid or donations”. We’ve all heard the “big” philanthropic stories – the billionaire who donates mega dollars to stamp out polio – or a social media-driven campaign like the “Ice Bucket Challenge” that raised millions for ALS. Quietly, behind the scenes, the same kind of generous giving is happening right here in your community. It might be your neighbours who, when doing their estate planning, made the decision to give back to community by setting up a directed endowment to a cause they value. It might be a group like the “Women to the Power of Ten” who decided to pool their resources, making a $50,000 commitment to the Smart & Caring Community Fund. Or it might Foundation be a simple act of kindness like twins start up value at Emma and Declan Ward donating their September 17, birthday money to help the programs of NONA and showing us that everyone can 1975 be a philanthropist.

Vital Signs 2015 Vital Signs: Signs of Life – although usually thought of in the context of the human body, Community Foundations throughout Canada have used a similar process to check on the “signs of life” in their community. A report that tracks data on specific issue areas, coupled with perceptions of community members, the preceding two issues of Vernon’s Vital Signs have provided talking points, food for thought and discussion on the future direction of the community.
Caring Community Grants (our discretionary funds). The report can also focus our government and local organizations on specific areas requiring attention and can generate discussion around the kitchen table as families decide who to vote for in municipal, provincial and federal elections: what are the issues that impact our future in this community – is it affordable housing, quality employment, concerns for our environment or school readiness for our children?
There is no doubt that we live in a great community – data and perceptions confirm this – so perhaps another way to look at this report is how can we build on what we have to make an even better community for all? The Foundation, for instance, uses the findings to determine the annual distribution of Smart &
The core thrust of a Community Foundation is to connect philanthropy with community needs and opportunities. Vital Signs can be a vehicle to determine those needs and opportunities so that donors and other stakeholders can connect their money and expertise to key issues in the community. As we work with community partners to undertake Vital Signs 2015, we want it to be more than a snapshot of trends and issues; to be more than a “so what” report, to become central to a “community knowledge centre” to drive innovation. And we want the report to give our donors confidence that their donations are directed strategically within their community.
Establishing Your Own Endowment Fund Is Simple It’s easy to set up your own endowment fund because the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan makes it simple for you. We do all the accounting, tax reporting and other paperwork, and we look after issuing your grant cheques. You just need to make three decisions: Timing You choose the timing. Do you want your endowment fund to be established immediately (and you can start giving grants right away), in a short time, through a savings program or later, through your estate. Type of fund Decide on the type of fund you would like: Smart & Caring Community Fund – pool your money with others to address emerging community needs Donor-Advised Fund – you select charities or projects that will benefit annually
Designated Funds - specify the charities you want to support in perpetuity Student Awards Fund - supporting students to reach their educational goals Finances You can choose any number of financial instruments to set up your fund. There are many options, including cash, securities, and life insurance. You can also set up a fund over time – it can be as easy as $1000 a year for five years.

…Create A Legacy Today
Sydney Ward Smart & Caring Community Fund Sydney Ward was a private man who worked his whole life and spent only what was necessary. He led a simple life, content to enjoy the outdoors and close family. At the age of 14 he was pulled out of school in England to help support his family. By the time he was 16 he was living on his own but decided to go back and finish his education at night school. He joined the air force because he wanted to fly, but as he didn’t have the ‘right education’ he had to settle for building planes instead. As with most things, Sydney picked up his trade quickly and ended up being sent to Canada to teach Canadian mechanics during the war. Whether it was building planes or buildings, Sydney was good with his hands. Sydney fell in love with Canada and later returned to BC. He married and found work as a carpenter and builder and eventually landed a position with the Vernon school board. Sydney had a bit of a stutter and was never one for crowds. He was a quiet man and didn’t say much, however, he was bright and competent and with the school district he quickly worked his way up. He gave many local youths summer jobs and was quietly proud as he watched them continue Sydney Ward visiting Vernon during WW II when he returned to propose to Helen
on to become lawyers and other well educated professionals in the community. Sydney believed that anyone who had the drive and ability should be given the chance at a post-secondary education. Whether academic or trades, he believed in getting the training needed to get ahead. Before the death of his beloved wife, Vernon-born Helen in 1986, the couple travelled all over the world. Sydney Ward died in July of 2012. Much to everyone’s surprise he left a significant gift to the community he called home. According to his niece and namesake, Helen Sydney Fandrick, he wasn’t one for recognition or fancy events. It didn’t surprise her that he made his donation in the form of a bequest. He likely wouldn’t have wanted the attention he might get if he’d shared his plans in advance. Other than a few modest gifts to family members, he left the bulk of his estate to four local charities, one of them being the Community Foundation.

Total number of CFNO endowments
The Board of CFNO is pleased to announce the “Sydney Ward Smart & Caring Community Fund” is the first fund to kick off our ‘Smart & Caring Community Campaign’. This $100,000 fund is named to honour a man who clearly loved his community and is an inspiration to us all.
2015 Smart & Caring Community Fund Grants 2015 Smart and Caring Community Fund Grants were awarded to groups doing important work to improve the quality of life throughout the North Okanagan Region. Many people think the focus is on Vernon, but the Foundation’s service area includes Vernon, Coldstream, Enderby, Armstrong, Lumby and Spallumcheen. Two of the largest grants went to the Cherryville Community Food Bank ($25,000) and Enderby Preschool Daycare Society (20,000). Vernon’s Schubert Centre Society also got a large grant of $15,000 for the Meals on Wheels Program. As Jack Gareb, of the Schubert Centre shared, “This grant means a great deal to the elderly and others who struggle to prepare a healthy, hot and nutritious meal. Appliance upgrades will allow the number of meals prepared to increase exponentially by making the process much more time efficient.” For a complete list of 2015 recipients please go to www.cfno.org.

The Power of Endowment The role of the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan in the community is to grow legacies that benefit the community, both now and for all the years to come.
Gift Giving Made Easy When Marion Hutchinson thought about what to give her grown nieces, nephews and grandchildren at Christmas she found herself wondering how she could ever find something personal when her relations were scattered all across the country. She wanted to send them some small remembrance, but keeping up with what they were all doing and their personal preferences seemed impossible.

The Foundation is like the awards. in their name. Problem solved, stress averted, tax receipt issued, and on to savings account for the community. enjoying the season for giving with the joy it was intended to bring! The power of an endowment fund is that it grows over time, while continuing to make grants to worthy causes for years to come. Your fund becomes a permanent resource for the causes you value in the community.
Directors
To demonstrate how powerful this can be, let’s use an example, The Smith Family Fund, whose value at September 30 (CFNO year-end) 2014 was $150,000, thanks to donations from friends, family members and members of the community. Because Foundation policy is to both distribute a portion of earnings and to return a portion to the fund itself, the fund is estimated to generate grants in excess of $150,000 in the next 25 years and grow to an estimated market value of more than $218,000 (based on an assumed 6% rate of return), even without further donations to the fund. The $218,000 remains invested and will keep on generating grants year after year, well beyond the 25 years. This is how an endowment fund turns a one-time gift into a gift that keeps growing and giving forever and, of course, continuing donations to the fund further enhance this process.

North Westside Road residents are being told to cut down on water consumption. From June 16 to Sept. 15, stage two water restrictions are in effect for customers of the Killiney Beach, Upper FintryShalal Road-Valley of the Sun and Westshore water systems. “That restricts outdoor watering to two days each week,” said Bruce Smith, with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “RDCO water customers Bruce Smith with even number addresses may irrigate outdoors on Saturday and Tuesday while those with odd addresses may only water outside on Sunday and Wednesday.” Customers with an automated irrigation system may only water if needed on their allotted day between midnight and 6 a.m., while people with manual outdoor irrigation must restrict their watering if needed, to between 6 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and midnight on their respective irrigation day. “If you don’t need to water outdoors on your allotted day or time period, please do not waste water,” said Smith. Between Sept. 16 and June 15, stage one restrictions are in place allowing customers to water outdoors on alternating days.
Habitat seeks families Morning Star Staff
Habitat for Humanity is looking for families who want a place to call home. The organization is currently constructing a triplex on 35th Avenue in Vernon and potential occupants can apply for consideration. “Successful applicants will buy a home with no down payment, no interest on the appraisal-based mortgage and monthly payments geared to your income,” said Terry Clements, with the Vernon Habitat chapter. Some of the criteria used by the selection committee includes the need for adequate shelter. “Is your present rent higher than one-third of your monthly family income?” said Clements. Families must also have the ability to pay for the housing. “Will you work closely with Habitat for Humanity volunteers to perform 500 hours of sweat equity during the construction phase of your new family home?” said Clements. The application deadline is July 7 and application packages can be received by e-mailing apply@ vernonhabitat.com. For more information, go to www.vernonhabitat.com.

Kreutz makes great first impression KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
As an amateur athlete striving to reach the next level, you never know who might be watching. For Matt Kreutz, a chance meeting with Minot State University Beavers’ head golf coach Randy Westby during spring break in California turned into a scholarship with the NCAA Division II North Dakota school. Kreutz, who turned 18 on March 13, was competing in the Maple Leaf Junior Tour Invitational when Westby caught his act. “I was in Las Vegas and decided to attend the MJT Invitational in Palm Springs,” said Westby. “It was there that I met Matthew. I watched him play a few holes and visited with him. I was very impressed by his demeanor and how outgoing he was. I then contacted the MJT office to get his e-mail address. After corresponding with him about college golf and attending Minot State, he committed to our program.” Kreutz and good buddy Austin Bosquet visited Minot State a few weeks ago and Westby is now further thrilled about coaching Kreutz next season. “I have followed his play in the Zone 2 junior tour (Kreutz has won six events this season) and am confident he can be an asset to my team.” Brothers Kowan and Karson O’Keefe, whose father Brian is a golf pro born and raised in Vernon, both played for MSU this year. Kowan, a senior, became the university’s first student-athlete to be named to the Capital One Academic All-America team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. “It was awesome; I loved it,” said Kreutz, of his recent trip to Minot. “He (Westby) showed us around. We played some golf with him although I played poorly. He beat me. We looked around the campus and town.” MSU is the third-largest university in North Dakota with 2,300 students. Kreutz will be on a partial scholarship, studying business management. The Beavers are rebuilding and Kreutz, a plus-one handicap, wants to contribute immediately. Ben McNiven of Merritt was a Beaver freshman last season. “They recruited two other players from the Beaumont (California) tourney and they’re both good,” said Kreutz. “They lacked depth last year so I’m really excited to see what I can do for the golf team. They’re gonna get better and better.”
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Vernon golfer Matt Kreutz parlayed a chance meeting with Minot State (North Dakota) University Beavers’ head golf coach Randy Westby into a partial scholarship with the NCAA Div. 2 school. A Rickie Fowler fan, Kreutz began taking shots in his backyard as a tyke. He carried his bag on a real course at age eight. “I was always average, but I worked at it two years ago and went from a seven to a one. The dream has always been to be a professional golfer like Rickie Fowler and all the other young, cool guys on tour. As I got older, the goal was to play university golf to get some tuition paid for and play the sport I love. Ever since Day 1, I’ve always been a hard worker. I like to work really hard at all my sports a lot because I like to be good at them and I don’t like losing very often.” He inserted a small grip change during a lesson from Sean Richardson at Predator Ridge three years ago and receives almost daily tips from Myles Johnson before he starts work at Spallumcheen. Kreutz swings a Ping G30 driver, hits Callaway irons and Cleveland wedges and also carries a Titleist hybrid three-wood.
“I don’t hit it particularly far but I think myself around the golf course. I hit in the middle of the fairways and look for an opportunity to go for it. I am a streaky putter.” Matt’s father, Norm, has won the Vernon men’s club title four times and his older brother, Alex, is a scratch golfer who is a business student at Camosun College in Victoria. Matt’s mom, Debbie is a manager at Winners and will occasionally play nine holes with the family. “My parents have definitely been heroes for me because they support me in everything I do. They’ve never said no to me. If I have a dream that I wanna try and obtain, they always helped to the fullest. Same with my older brother. He has been huge for my development in all sports and all games because he’s always been that competition for me. He’s always been good at everything he does as well, and he keeps pushes me to
get better and better at everything I do.” Kreutz has been consistent the last few years, able to keep his score under 77 even if he’s having a poor round. “It’s been a really good last couple of years because I’ve started playing well and reach my potential. I always had problems finishing before. I couldn’t quite get the Ws. I would come fourth place, but I’d be winning 16 holes in. Ever since last year, I learned how to close and got my putting down.” As a former downhill ski racer at Silver Star, Kreutz learned how to stay strong mentally through coach Andrew Lambert. “I don’t get too upset after having a bad hole because you can always come back in golf. If you make a double bogey, you can come back with an eagle or two birdies later on in the round. You can’t let those bad holes determine what your round’s gonna be. There’s always a way you can grind out a good score.”

Knight stings Badgers Morning Star Staff
Jesse Knight is making a push for the scoring title. The Vernon Kal Tire FC forward added three more goals Thursday at MacDonald Park, giving him 11 on the season, as the tiremen cruised to a 4-0 Kelowna Men’s Soccer League Over 35 Division win against the visiting Salmon Arm Beer Badgers (and their new all-brown uniforms). Knight trailed Kelowna’s Nico Boesten of ENCO/Executive Flooring by two goals for the league scoring lead entering play Thursday. Knight had two goals in the first half, both with Salmon Arm scrambling on defense. In the second half, Knight took on the Badgers’ keeper and went around him for the easy finish. Geoff Straight finished the scoring when he danced in for the fourth goal. Ian Butler recorded the shutout with a couple great saves for Kal Tire, who improved to a league best 9-1.

Vernon Kal Tire scored a 3-1 win over host Beasley F.C. Thursday at Reiswig Park in Lake Country. Birthday boy and Cialis Man of the Match Gary Dill scored on a 25-yard high shot following a through ball from Jenne Hubert, who picked up a second assist on a header from Denis Chabot. Terry Lowe’s sweet finish from a Glenn Jones cross rounded out the Vernon scoring. Peter Butler had Winfield’s only goal on a 25-yard free kick. Kal Tire is 5-1-2 on the year while Beasley F.C. drops to 2-6-0. At MacDonald Park, make the final Paul McCardle 4, Kelowna 2. McCardle was on fire for the Vernon Silver Stars, scoring two goals in each half including what is being termed as a natural soccer hat-
trick: one right-foot goal, one left-foot goal and one header goal. McCardle’s header came off a Colin Greveling 30-yard pass for the Stars, who improved to 5-3-0.
North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Div. 2
Kim Sylvester’s second goal of the game, set up by Carmen Kinniburgh, snapped a tie and gave OTC/Sunterra Sistas a 4-3 win over Sir Winston’s Attack at Marshall Field. The Sistas jumped out to a 3-1 first-half lead on goals from Krista Gutknecht, assisted by Diane Neudorf, Sylvester, who blasted in a shot following set-ups from Amy Fitchett (just returning from injury) and Angela Otto, and from Neudorf, who took a pass from Andrea Zubot over the Attack’s defence and caught the Sir Winston’s goalie too far off her line. The Attack made things interesting with two second-half goals, setting the stage for Sylvester’s winner. In a game that featured wonderful sportsmanship on both sides, the Fantastic Four and Green Rockets played to a 3-3 tie at Marshall Field Thursday. Fantastic keepers Taylor Weixl (first half) and Suzyn August were both solid. Weixl stopped a one-on-one from the left side while August, returning from injury, stayed strong after being bowled over once. Fantastic Four’s three goals came from Brooke Hackle, on a bomb from just over centre line, Jessica MacNeil, following great pressure in the six-yard box, and Lorinda Jackson, who fought outside the 18 to score her first of the season, followed by a little happy dance after.

Career path makes new impression LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
When Kim Nasipayko’s mom suggested she and her husband Aaron buy an engraving business to solve their job search, after moving back to the Okanagan, they laughed. On second thought, they decided to check it out. It turns out Kim’s mother was right. Armed with an entrepreneurial spirit, but no experience in engraving or graphic design, they knew there would be an extreme learning curve, but they saw potential in the niche business that had been around for 22 years. “You can learn anything so we thought we would try and if we hated it we could sell the business, but we loved it,” said Kim. Caufields Engraving recently celebrated its 30th year of business, and in the last eight years, of their ownership, the Nasipaykos have doubled the size, the staff and the revenue. It was named small business of the year 2015 by the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce and was a finalist for employer of the year. “It has been a lot of work, I’m not going to say it was easy and we had two kids in there too,” said Kim, who brought both of her children to work with her after they were born. “I came back to work with my son after three months, he was first, and then with my daughter, my husband had started a new job with SunLife, so I had to come back two weeks after having my daughter,” she said. “When you have your own business you don’t have a choice you just do it and get through it. We are on the other side now and we are better for it.” They have worked hard in the last eight years, receiving training, attending trade

Kim Nasipayko, owner of Caufields Engraving, makes adjustments to a wooden door she is working on with a laser engraver in her shop at the Alpine Centre. shows, upgrading equipment and mastering the programs and technology that goes into the business. “We definitely wrecked some stuff but that is part of it, that’s how you learn. We just always have a little extra product in case we need it,” said Kim. She has taken to the creative side of engraving, designing most of the graphics. She designed and donated the medals for the Women2Warrior adventure race for Easter Seals.
Caufields has a laser engraver that can engrave photos onto most surfaces, including stone. “Monuments traditionally had the graphics engraved using a plotter, which uses two knives. The problem is they can’t cross, so the graphics turn out very simple. We can take a picture of anything and put it on stone,” said Kim She loves the various applications they are able use the engravers for, such as steel, wood, glass, doors and even surfboards.
“Engraving is the most permanent way to mark anything,” said Kim. Caufields is a national company with 70 per cent of its market out of town. It supplies 50 stores across Canada in the equine industry with tack tags and stable plaques as well as suppling stainless steel signage for industrial applications like mine shafts and mills. “When people think of engraving, they think of awards, and jewelry. We do so much more than that,” said Kim.
Building permit activity adds a boost to Vernon economy RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Despite the public perception of slow economic recovery, City of Vernon officials insist activity is moving ahead at a steady pace. In a report to council, economic development manager Kevin Poole says $28.3 million in total building permits were issued from January to May, up from $20 million during the same period in 2014. “We’ve seen some strong numbers for the first part of the year,” he said. Kevin Poole And when single-family units are looked at specifically, there have been 47 units at $19.7 million so far this year, compared to 35
units at $12.6 million during the first five months of 2013. Major commercial/industrial projects since last year include a $750,000 building permit for Okanagan Spirits’ new distillery on 24th Street and a $500,000 permit for Central Animal Clinic on Kalamalka Lake Road. An April 27, 2015 permit was handed out for a 27th Street medical clinic for $575,000. The Tim Hortons, which is under construction next to Beairsto Elementary School, has a permit value of $1.2 million. But overshadowing all of these projects is a $29 million building permit for seven buildings covering 120,000-squarefeet at the B.C. Hydro compound on Kalamalka Lake Road. “That includes 83,000-square-feet of regional office. It’s a significant investment,” said Poole, adding that construction is expected to begin this year and be completed some time
in 2017. On the tourism front, the city’s two per cent hotel room tax generated $535,756 in revenue in 2014, up from $438,496 in 2013. The tourism department’s total 2015 budget is $776,587, with $600,000 coming from hotel tax and the remainder coming from city taxes. Poole estimates that tourism generates about $100 million in economic activity in Vernon annually. And Poole believes tourism’s impact could grow as national media focuses on what the community has to offer. “It’s third-party verification. It really helps readers and viewers get influenced,” he said.

Oscar Wilde said, “A pessimist is one who, when he has a choice of two evils, chooses both.” Whether a pessimist or an optimist, a defender cannot choose two evils at the bridge table -- at least, not on the same trick. Usually, when following suit, your choices are to play high or low, although occasionally a middle card will be correct. Which is the right option in this deal? South is in four hearts. West leads the spade nine. After declarer calls for dummy’s four, should East play high, middle or low? Note that South should not open one no-trump despite 17 points. When 5-4-2-2, do not open one
no-trump if the five-card suit is a major. North has 12 points and four-card heart support, which would often be sufficient to force to game - but not with 4-3-3-3 distribution and such a soft hand. East must decide whether West has led a singleton or high from a doubleton. East needs to ask himself what each would give South. If West has led a singleton, South started with five spades. That is most unlikely, because with 5-5 in the majors, South would have opened one spade, not one heart. And if he has a good 5-6, the contract might be unbeatable, or South might have made a slam-try. So, West has led from a doubleton. East, to
keep communication with his partner must signal encouragement with his eight - not the seven. Soon, West will get in with his heart king and lead his second spade. East will win with his ace and give his partner a spade ruff. Then West can cash his diamond ace to defeat the contract.

A 50th anniversary celebration The family of Karl and Susie Ernst are pleased to announce their 50th wedding anniversary. Karl and Susie met at a hotel at the Sun Valley Ski Area in Quebec, where Susie worked. Karl was living in the hotel as he built a new ski lift at the ski area. They were married June 12, 1965 and lived one year in Quebec before heading west to live in Vernon. They bought a house and land in the beautiful BX area in 1967, and have lived in that home now for 48 years. They raised their two children, Mike (Val) and Kathy (Duane) and enjoy their four grandchildren, Max and Avery, Maria and Faith. Karl worked in the ski lift and avalanche
control business until his retirement. Susie was a stay-at-home mom and was always there for her kids.
Now they have settled into a not-so-relaxing retirement where both of them are as busy as they were before

Morning Star Staff
Creative Chaos is helping the Salvation Army stock shelves. This year’s craft fair raised $3,485 in cash donations and 4,872 pounds of food for the Vernon food bank.
“The response from the community over the past 12 years of partnership with Creative Chaos is wonderful. We are so grateful for the continued support and to see how people responded,” said Capt. Jean-Curtis
Plante, with the Salvation Army. “We were extremely short on a number of necessary food items like tuna and baked beans and we are incredibly surprised to see that most people brought in exactly those items
that we were short on to build nutritious hampers for the food bank.” Overall, the food donations exceeded last year and the financial donations received were close to the 2014 total.

Elder abuse focus of event RACHAEL ZUBICK Special to The Morning Star
Violence against seniors is a topic we hear about from time to time, but as a community do we really understand how prevalent it is? A Statistics Canada survey done in 2010 of 5,000 Canadians (35 per cent of which were over 65) observed that 22 per cent of people felt that they knew seniors that were being abused; 96 per cent believed that abuse and neglect was kept secret; and 90 per cent thought that abuse and neglect got worse as a person aged. As a member of the mature population, do we know how to protect ourselves from becoming victims? How do you know when you are being taken advantage of? What are the signs of neglect or abuse? How do you protect yourself from becoming a growing statistic? With the elder population increasing, the subject and the consequences of ignoring the growing concern of elder abuse, and strategies to avoid being a victim, is the central theme behind Elder Education Awareness Fair Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. Vernon Community Policing, Nexus BC – Seniors Services and the North Okanagan Community Response Network is hosting the fair in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
The Elder Education Awareness fair is meant to provide participants with information related to safety, preparedness and personal well-being. Information tables, workshops, and mini-presentations assure that there will be plenty to see and learn. Feature presentations are planning For incapacity and beyond and estate planning with lawyer Tom Christensen, and medications review by Nolan’s Pharmasave. It’s a free event with refreshments, lunch and door prizes. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is a United Nations event which was developed and launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA). WEAAD activities are intended to bring greater recognition of abuse and neglect of older adults in B.C. or wherever they live, and to highlight the need for prevention and community involvement in a response to the issue. We work to give abuse and neglect of seniors a relevance that will sustain and move prevention efforts forward throughout the year and for years to come. Please pre-register for Elder Education Awareness Day by calling the Vernon Community Policing Office at 250-550-7840. Rachael Zubick is the co-ordinator for Vernon Community Policing

Splatsin elder back in class Morning Star Staff
Forty years is a long time to be away from a classroom, but for Splatsin Nation elder Edna Felix, it proved to be the opportunity to change her life’s course. After her husband died, Felix found herself struggling to balance working odd jobs with the responsibilities of caring for her four children and two foster children (who are also her grandsons). Finding it difficult to secure work with only a Grade 8 education, Felix turned to social assistance. She credits a social worker who mentioned the Stepping Forward program offered at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus for broadening her horizon and leading her to gainful employment. “I was nervous heading into the program but through learning I understood that my life experience in and of itself had been an education,” said Felix. “The program teaches essential skills for the work place, and also valuable life skills including goal setting. I realized I already had many of these skills, but simply needed to hone them.” Within the classroom, Felix took a role in mentoring the
younger students, her peers. For an essay assignment she wrote about the history of the Shuswap people, her husband, and the land, culture and her family tree. Upholding the tradition of oral story telling, Felix mentored the young students in teaching them the stories of her family, land, and people. Nothing written down, just passed down with the word from an elder to the younger generations. Some of her fellow students, it turns out, were relatives. “Okanagan College is openly interested in preserving, honouring, and advancing aboriginal culture, which made me feel comfortable and welcome,” said Felix. The 21-week Stepping Forward program, offered through the Continuing Studies department at the college, provides pre-employment skills and essential skills training, as well as adult basic education upgrading. It incorporates traditional First Nations heritage teachings and culture through Aboriginal work history, Medicine Wheel, and drumming workshops. According to Felix, the qualifications and certifications she received during the program were crucial to her finding employment.
She is currently employed as a dishwasher and prep cook at the Wicked Spoon in Salmon Arm. Felix has set a long-term goal of opening and managing an elders’ home. She has already applied to Okanagan College’s health care assistant program and is building her work experience to encompass all aspects of owning a care facility, including as a cook and janitor. “If I am to be a supervisor, I need to know what needs to be done and how to do it so that I can say I understand the roles of the job.” The Stepping Forward program originated through a partnership with the Okanagan Indian Band. “This program truly is transformative and benefits such a diverse array of students,” says Caroline Chartier, aboriginal transition planner at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus. “Some have been through residential schools, some not, some are mature students, others still in their late teens. Our focus is on supporting students through the whole process, and giving them opportunities that extend beyond the support they already receive from their bands.”

Picturing moments in time Since 1974, Martin Vegt’s camera has captured milestones in the lives of North Okanagan residents
Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
The natural world finds a place in many of Martin Vegt’s photographs. “I started with photography in the 1960s when I was working with the Greater Vancouver Water District and was outside a lot. I loved taking pictures of wildlife,” he said. He moved on to photographing people, and his photos of weddings, casual family and formal portraits often have an element of nature in them. He’s always looking for places that might make good background settings. “Those trees have beautiful colours in the fall,” he said, pointing them out on a walk around his property on Silver Star Road. “When I first came to Vernon, the photographers were doing their work in studios. I wanted to make use of the beautiful natural settings. The evening light at Kalamalka Park is outstanding.” Cameras were not a part of Vegt’s early life. “I grew up in Holland in the 1950s and everything was in short supply. The family didn’t have a camera and we have only a few photos my uncle took,” he said. The family, with 10 children, came to Canada in 1960 and Vegt completed his education. He had a camera and darkroom in his 20s and started to win local competitions. He took a chance on his skills and attended NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) in 1972. One of his best memories of his training was the opportunity to work photographing the Alberta Ballet over a season and he still likes to take pictures of dancers. He moved to Vernon in 1974, and did surveying and landscaping before starting his professional studio downtown in 1974. He and his wife, Frances, raised their four children, Jennie, David, Jonathan and Paulina, in Vernon. Vegt likes to talk with people before

Photographer Martin Vegt in his Vernon studio with some of the cameras from his collection. Vegt is retiring from professional photography, but is not hanging up his cameras. photo sessions, getting an idea of who they are, what they want and how to best capture that. “I have a casual style but there is always directing going on, noticing the light, the posture, the background. The camera has
to be an extension of your fingers and your head so that you don’t waste time looking at the camera all the time. “I started digital in 2004. Digital has made photography more fun with what you can do. You still need a good photo with
light and composition but no one minds if you fix them up a little,” he said. “They used to say a photo couldn’t lie but a picture can lie now.” He’s proud of the series he took of wellknown area citizens, including Jimmy Antoine, in his ceremonial First Nations headdress. While he always gets his photos, there have been challenges along the way. “Once when I was taking wedding photos at a golf course the sprinklers came on, and an organ player keeping warm with a space heater set his hair on fire. Another time, we had to save the bridesmaids from going up in flame by moving them away from the candles,” he recalled. Vegt went on to gain more accreditation, win numerous awards and keep his equipment current. He’s pleased that he can now get digital accessories for the classic cameras, like the Hasselblad, in his collection. For now, he’s busy getting the garden ready for his daughter’s July wedding and looking forward to a biking trip in Holland with his wife. He will still be available for photography by appointment, particularly for former clients.

Hydration in Dogs Just like you and me, water plays a very important role in our overall health. Every major body system requires water and without an adequate supply, your pet will become dehydrated and ill. The purpose of water is to carry nourishment from our pets’ diets into the cells of their body, aids in the digestion of food and keeps the joints cushioned and lubricated. It also regulates the temperature of their bodies preventing overheating which is critical considering the only way for a dog to cool down is either by panting or sweating through the pads of their feet. Make sure your pet has fresh, clean water available at all times. A rule of thumb is 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. There are many factors that can affect the amount of water that your pet should be drinking. Depending upon the environmental temperature and humidity, your pet may require more water. The hotter the day, the more your pet pants and salivates, creating a greater thirst. When out on long walks or hikes, make sure you have clean water with you for your pet. To check your dog for dehydration, pick up a fold of loose skin over the top of the shoulder blades, pull it up gently and release it. Watch the skin fall back in place. Under normal circumstances the skin should quickly return to its normal state. However, if the skin is slowly returning or if it stays up for a time, your pet may be dehydrated and you should seek veterinary attention.

The pickleball phenomenon
W
hat the heck is pickleball? It’s a funny name for a sport. But it’s no laughing matter. Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in North America. In a nutshell: it’s a hybrid racquet sport. Emphasis on “hybrid.” The uniquely named sport is often described as a fusion of tennis, badminton and ping pong. It’s Cheryl Witter played on a smaller court than tennis and with a lighter ball (whiffle ball). The paddle is similar in size to those used in racquetball. Pickleball is finding a growing audience which started out attracting seniors. But the baby boomers are taking part and it’s even trickling down to the younger generations. An attraction is that it’s easy for beginners to learn in addition to being a very social game. But it has also developed into a fast-paced competitive game for the experienced player. The sport is an overall good body workout. It demands coordination, balance, strength and good smarts. It’s a game of strategy and finesse. Some aging players prefer it over tennis, as speed and strength matter less.
spine & sport
Because the court is smaller there is less running around. And the ball is lighter so less strength is needed. However, despite pickleball being kinder to our bodies, injuries still occur. There are usually three ways players hurt themselves: FALLS Players backing up and reaching for a deep lob often can end up on the floor. Backing up is a high-risk movement and often a fall on an outstretched hand causes a broken wrist or shoulder strain. Improper footwear can also cause falls. Court shoes should be worn, not running shoes. Running shoes have a higher heel and often players roll over on the ankle and sprain ligaments. Court shoes are made so the player can move in all directions. In court shoes feet don’t get “stuck” while your body propels over them. REACHING FOR A SHOT Whenever a player lunges or stretches for a shot they are not physically capable of getting, trouble will happen. Worst case? They fall (see above )! If they manage to stay upright, often a body part is sacrificed. The calf muscle and Achilles are commonly strained this way. You lunge, reach, go for it. And then pop, snap, rip... ouch! The inside knee ligament can be sprained by a sudden twisting. The hamstring can tear by overextending or reaching for a ball.
The shoulder rotator cuff tendons strain by an out-of-position overhead smash. TOO MUCH TOO SOON We all know this rule: start new activity slowly. Wean into the new demands of the sport. Yes, it’s common sense. But some sports are just too addictive and too much fun! These pickleballers are crazy for their sport! As a physiotherapist I see this and try and honour their dedication. But occasionally “less is more,” especially when pain starts to hang around too long. The elbow tendons love to react to a new sport which involves holding a racquet or golf club. The muscle and tendons on the outside of the elbow don’t work too much in daily life. Now pick up a racquet and swing it thousands of times? It’s going be sore. The lower back is the same. Twisting and bending are movements that take a bit of time to build up to. Be patient. The body needs to be respected, paced and trained. Or it will rebel. In summary, pain and injury is a fact of life with any sport. Don’t let the fear of hurting yourself stop you. Just warm up well. And seek attention for any nagging injuries. Or they may sideline you. Don’t get yourself into a “pickle!” The sport is too much fun to miss. Cheryl Witter is a physiotherapist at Spine & Sport North End in Vernon.

Jade sculptor off to China Vernon’s Deborah Wilson returns to Suzhou, China for a second year to participate in an international jade exhibition and competition Morning Star Staff

Vernon sculptor Deborah Wilson has been invited back to China for a second year to participate in the Chinese Jade Carvers and International Jade Artists Exhibition.
A highly acclaimed artist from Vernon has been invited back to China for a second year to exhibit her jade sculptures alongside the work of Chinese masters. Last year, Deborah Wilson became the first woman from the west to participate in the Chinese Jade Carvers and International Jade Artists Exhibition in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China. Her work was so highly thought of by Chinese jade carving masters that she won a gold medal for her life-size carving of a western painted turtle. “The turtle has special significance in Chinese mythology. It is one of the four sacred animals. The others are the dragon, Chinese unicorn and the phoenix. The turtle is considered as a symbol of wisdom, endurance, wealth and long life,” said Andrew Shaw, a former BBC journalist, who is now an award winning carver with a gallery in Shanghai and a studio in Suzhou. Shaw is serving as liaison to the visiting artists in China as he has a strong command of the Mandarin language. Wilson is returning to Suzhou, which is known as the “Venice of the East,” with its beautiful gardens
and many canals, to compete yet again for a coveted gold medal. “It was an exciting first visit to China, where I felt very much at home,” she said before leaving. “The people involved in the exhibition were gracious, and very professional. We learned at the end of the show that we had received medals for a number of our entries. Needless to say, I was thrilled to have won gold for my western painted turtle.” Most of the exhibition takes place in a modern museum, which is located amongst artist studios and galleries on the outskirts of Suzhou. Last year, the carvers were kept busy after the show, touring the many studios belonging to masters in the field. “This was the most intriguing and instructive of our missions and forays,” said Wilson. “Shopping for diamond tools was also a priority for our entire group.” The artists that invested in new and classic equipment from Suzhou have clearly benefited in the ensuing months, added Wilson. “There has been a ripple of interest and appreciation coming from the global jade carving community after seeing the results on
social media pages,” she said. “This is only the beginning of a new era where new ideas and exotic jades from all over the world will be viewed and celebrated by those that carve and collect jade in China.” The competition is an important component as well. This year, participants from New Zealand, the U.K., Europe, Mexico, Russia, and the U.S. as well as Canada will travel to Suzhou to take part in the exhibition and competition. “Deborah is blazing a trail for female artists,” said Shaw. “Last year, she was the first western woman to exhibit. This year, at least three other women will also show their work.” The exhibition is organized by the Suzhou Arts and Crafts Association. Suzhou is one of the main carving centres in China. “Thirty thousand people in the city, which has a population of about 10 million, work in the jade industry. It is estimated that there are approximately a quarter of a million people in China involved in the jade trade,” said Shaw. “China is also the biggest customer for Canadian jade. Tons of it are exported to China every year.” Every year, hundreds of carvers from around China exhibit in Suzhou at what has become one of the main jade festivals. Last year, a dozen westerners also exhibited. “This year the number of foreign artists will triple,” said Shaw.
‘Harp’ on down to Oyama for some wailin’ blues Harpdog Brown brings his Travelin’ Blues Show to The Orchard Morning Star Staff
It’ll be a night of wailin’ blues amongst the fruit trees when Oyama’s The Orchard hosts Harpdog Brown and his Travelin’ Blues Show for the first in a series of outdoor concerts this summer. Co-hosted by the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan, the award winning harmonica player and blues belter is bringing his all-new show to The Orchard June 27. The Travelin’ Blues Show is Harpdog Brown’s latest ensemble, consisting of Jordan Edmonds on guitar and Pat Darcus on upright bass, who lay down the sounds of early-1950s’ Chicago – Chess Records, to be exact. “This is a show not to be missed, my friends,” said Harpdog Brown, who tied this year for Blues Harp Player of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards. Born in Edmonton and based in Vancouver, Harpdog Brown has been a part of Canada’s

He’s crossed tens of thousands of miles playing club dates and festivals in Canada, the northwestern U.S. and Germany.
Harpdog leads his own trio and quartet of Vancouver players, churning out blues on the mellower jazzy side. He also leads The Harpdog Brown Band, which is a traditional
Chicago blues band with John R. Hunter (drums), Jordan Edmonds (guitar) and George Fenn (bass). In 2014, the band released What It Is, consisting mainly of new originals and a few classic covers. The album has been nominated for Best Blues Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards. It has also received some far reaching accolades. Legendary producer Mike Vernon, who has worked with Otis Spann, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, Eddie Boyd, Freddie King, and John Mayall, told Brown, after seeing his video of Facebook Woman (single off What It Is): “I’m happy I listened to it... (It) made me go back in time to Frank Frost and Papa Lightfoot... Doesn’t get much better than that, but you have come pretty damn close.” As CBC Radio’s Saturday Night Blues host Holger Peterson also said on the album jacket, it’s “Harpdog’s best work yet.” Harpdog Brown and His Travelin’ Blues Show play The Orchard, 14924 Middle Bench Rd., June 27. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. and music starts at 7:30 p.m. To purchase tickets or for information on future events, visit theorchardwebsite.com.

to play everywhere and anywhere. One day we’ll be doing an arena show with Corb Lund and the next day we’re playing in someone’s backyard,” said Hus, who names his fellow Albertans and label-mates Lund and Ian Tyson as influences. In September, 2013, Hus released his highly anticipated sixth CD, Western Star (his third for Stony Plain Records). The album reached No. 1 on the Roots Music Report chart and No. 3 on iTunes Canada in sales. Like Lund, Hus is part of a new generation of Alberta-based songwriters who have been nurtured on the tapestry of sounds that country music served up in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Hus also singles out Woody Guthrie and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott as folk icons he admires, not only when it comes to the content of songs, but in the manner in which they are delivered from the stage. Hus points to many life experiences and the influences of family and specific musicians when it comes to assessing his own make up as an artist. “I look up to Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and road dogs like Fred Eaglesmith. Then there’s all the people I meet out on the road and the stories that come with those introductions,” he said. The summer of 2009 saw the lanky and likeable artist back another one of his influences, the legendary Stompin’ Tom Connors, on a number of dates across the nation. “It’s not a secret that Tom is one of my heroes and it was quite the time out on the road with him. I could tell you all sorts of stories, but we’ll leave those for another time,” said Hus. Connors made his appreciation for Hus’ songwriting skills known as the two parties played before large and enthusiastic crowds that were served up a doublebarreled blast of true-blue Canadiana. On many occasions Connors, who died in March, 2013, let it be known to friends and fans that he believed Hus to be the man he was passing his mantle on to. Doors to Hus’ Saturday performance at the ANAF Club open at 6:45 p.m. with the show starting at 7.30 p.m. (no minors will be permitted). Tickets are $20 ($15 for VFRMS members) available online at www. vernonfolkroots.com, at the Bean Scene or at the door.

spy
IA analyst Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) has been working a desk job her entire career. She is the voice in the ear of debonair secret agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law), watching over him from drones and satellites, keeping him safe, developing a crush. When Agent Fine is murdered by a Bulgarian arms dealer Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne), who knows the identity of all the CIA’s top agents, Cooper is reluctantly sent in to complete Fine’s mission, stopping the sale of a nuclear bomb. Along the way she’ll have some help from rogue agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham). We say, “Spy starts out strong and then

turns into The Heat without Sandra Bullock.” TAYLOR: I had high hopes for Spy. It looked in the trailers like it was going to feature McCarthy as a likeable, soft-spoken cat-lady type, thrown into a world of danger and intrigue. But as is explained in the film, her character, Cooper, has a dark side that comes out in times of stress. Such is it that she becomes a foul-mouthed slinger of insults and is completely adept at handto-hand combat. Once Cooper is in
the swing of things, Spy stops being a spoof of James Bond and becomes simply another Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) movie with its improvisational crudity. An elderly couple walked out. HOWE: It did feel like a James Bond movie, complete with the musical opening with colourful graphics. There was also a little twist of Johnny English thrown in. Where in the past I have complained about the amount of swearing in a McCarthy movie, this time I felt all the words were a necessity and in the right places. It may have to do with the fact the movie has a couple of Brits in it, Law and Statham. When they swear, it comes across as natural, whereas, in The Heat Bullock’s
cursing seems forced. TAYLOR: Brits drop verbal bombs on daytime TV, true, but Law used an American accent. I’m not against cursing per se, but this particular dialogue, I presume, is meant to be funny and fails, crudely or otherwise. It’s not that the film is made poorly, and it certainly made other people in the audience laugh aloud, senses of humour are subjective. I’ve just already seen this movie a couple of times recently. But that’s the way Hollywood works. You spray some comedy up on the screen and make more of whatever sticks. HOWE: I will admit I am not a huge fan of McCarthy, but I can say this is the most entertaining role/movie I have seen her in. The jokes are funny, she doesn’t
come across as overbearing and she’s not as annoying as usual. The supporting cast is outstanding, most notably her spy sidekick Nancy (Miranda Hart), who made me chuckle whenever she said or did anything. For once and I can’t believe I am saying this about a McCarthy movie, I hope they make a sequel. Wow. TAYLOR: Meh. – Howe gives Spy 3.5 frying pans out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2.5 prying bars out of 5.

Arts Comedy legend coming to Kelowna Morning Star Staff
Legendary comedian Norm Macdonald is about to have the Okanagan in stitches. Best known for his five seasons as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, Macdonald performs at the Kelowna Community Theatre Sept. 11. Born in Quebec City and raised in Ottawa, Macdonald began his stand-up career in comedy clubs throughout Canada. Early in his career he moved to L.A., where he currently resides, to write for the popular ABC Norm Macdonald sitcom Roseanne and star in The Norm Show from 1999 to 2001. He would eventually find his way to SNL, where for three years he served as anchor on Weekend Update. Aside from his notable characterizations of Bob Dole and Burt Reynolds, Macdonald proved that his acerbic wit and writing were not contained to the small screen. In 1998, he co-wrote and starred in the comedic film Dirty Work. Directed by Bob Saget and released by MGM, the film became an instant comedy cult classic. Macdonald also played the voice of “Lucky,” the dog in all three of the Eddie Murphy remakes of Dr. Doolittle and was seen in the hit comedy Billy Madison with Adam Sandler
in 1995. In 1996, Macdonald played a network reporter in Milos Foreman’s Academy Award-nominated film The People vs. Larry Flint and also appeared in Foreman’s 1999 Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon, which grossed $45.6 million worldwide. In 2000, Macdonald rejoined Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, (The People vs. Larry Flint and Man On The Moon) and starred alongside Dave Chappelle in the film Screwed. He also joined former Billy Madison costar Sandler in the hit comedy Grown Ups. Back on the small screen, his Comedy Central series Sports Talk premiered in April 2011. The show focused on current events in sports and was taped in front of a live studio audience. In addition, Macdonald was featured in the one-hour Comedy Central standup special, Norm Macdonald: Just Me Doing Stand-Up, which debuted in March 2011. This spring, Macdonald, who also hosts High Stakes Poker, returned to New York to appear in the SNL 40th anniversary special, where he reprised his role as Burt Reynolds in the Celebrity Jeopardy skit.

Pedal power in Puglia CHERIE THIESSEN Special To The Morning Star
ITALY - At the heel of Italy’s stylish boot, the southeastern part of the region of Puglia, is the Salento Peninsula, consisting of historic towns, olive groves, fields, broad plains, vineyards and low lying hills. My companion David and I like low lying hills because today we need to cycle 60 kilometres of them en route to the easternmost town in Italy, the Roman town of Otranto. We’ve got off to a late start: we had bikes to acquaint ourselves with and Carlo Cascione
from Bici Tours to meet. He delivered our wheels, patiently explained the GPS, described our 263-kilometre, seven-day route, and started us off on our way through the twisting, skinny streets of the Baroque town of Lecce, on the Salento Peninsula. On this hot late May morning, we wobble past tables encroaching on the already narrow streets and locals who sprawl contentedly at them, sipping ice coffee with almond milk, Latte di Mandorla. No ice coffee for us just yet. We’re soon rolling on country

roads fringed by red wild poppies, blue cornflowers, yellow daisies, purple thistle and the red ripening fruit on the ubiquitous prickly pear cactus. Birdsong feeds the ears and the tantalizing licorice aroma of abundant flowering wild fennel fills every breath while the soft air under the olive trees cools our faces. After an idyllic hour we enter Acaia, a medieval village with its iconic castle, old walls and deserted streets. Now where’s an ice coffee when you need it? The village is somnolent, however; we’re on Italian time now.

Tour 25 – Limit is 25 people
So we carry on, following a sylvan stretch of trail through a wildlife refuge with boardwalks over reeds and marshes to a lake, and beyond that, the Adriatic is winking its baby blues. So far, only three cars have passed us. Carlo told us of the many weekends and holidays he and his compatriots had spent exploring and charting the quietest routes through Salento — a job well done. We stop at San Foca on the sea. We’re hot and hungry and our kickstands drop at a impromptu café where several tables are set up under an awning, and the Adriatic wafts cool kisses at us. The smiling waiter tempts us with the local delicacy, sea urchin, but he has to settle for bringing us a selection of antipasto: pizza rustico, Polpette di carne, (meatballs) and fizo di zucca in pastella, (zucchini flowers in a tempura batter). Still ahead, carved into the Adriatic coast, the Bronze Age Ruins of a Messapian village dating from 3000 BC bring us to an abrupt halt. These ancient IndoEuropean peoples spoke a language called Messapian, which became extinct after the Roman Republic conquered the area. We wander in a landscape of wildflowers playing hide-and-seek with prehistoric ruins, while the sea licks sugary sand
nearby and the mountains of Albania waver beyond. Moments like this — just the two of us in a quiet piece of the world — surface time and time again on this Puglian pilgrimage. We see Neolithic cave paintings, splash in both the Adriatic and Ionian seas, peer inside Byzantine crypts with traces of colour from frescoes painted on the rock walls, roll through the largest ‘megalithic garden’ in Europe at Giurdignano, and sample local foods in Specchia Gallone. Now in Gallipoli on Puglia’s Adriatic coast, with our circle almost completed, we stare up at the ceiling in our own little Sistine Chapel in the old town, a huge room in an 18th century home with an enormous painting across its high expanse. The artist may not be Michelangelo, but you wouldn’t kick his work out of the art gallery. Before beginning the last 50 kilometres of our journey back to Lecce, we feast on an al fresco breakfast of fresh strawberries, pastries, cheeses, pizza rustico, local breads and cappuccinos while chatting with the Bici Tours representative, who has come to collect our luggage and our thoughts. “Make the tour longer, we say, and slow it down even more.” Cherie Thiessen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

News JCI dives into training, picks up awards Morning Star Staff
Some of Vernon’s own joined JCI members from across the province to soak up a weekend full of training, inspiration, awards and success at Fairmont Hot Springs. The annual B.C./ Yukon regional convention was held May 29 to 31, and Vernon also picked up some honours. “JCI Vernon is proud
to have received recognition for its 2014 JCI Hospital Gala – Old Hollywood Glamour – as the local project of the year, and an honorable mention for overall membership growth,” said Sue Solymosi, Vernon chapter president. Congratulations also go to JCI Vernon member Kelly Kedrosky for her honourable mention for 2014 rookie of the
year. Dan Proulx was also the winner of the 2015 B.C./Yukon effective speaking competition. He will have the opportunity to compete at the JCI Canada national convention in Calgary in September. “Our annual conventions provide our membership the opportunity to find inspiration from members outside of their own chapter. We
return from conventions with the motivation to be better, in everything we do,” said Solymosi. “This organization is full of extremely driven and ambitious individuals. JCI Vernon is proud to have a healthy and thriving membership,
whose members are constantly striving to create positive change in our community and the world around us.” Visit www.jcivernon. com, or contact JCI at info@jcivernon.com for more information on the organization.

Harold Gillette With sad hearts the family of Harold Gillette announces his passing on Sunday June 7th 2015 after a brief illness in VJH. Dad was predeceased by Mum (Honey to most), his wife of 72 years, in December of 2012. Dad was born on March 7th 1920 in Bateman Saskatchewan, the seventh of eight children, to Frank and Dorothy Gillette. He will be sadly missed by his five children, Bill (Carol), Lynn (Lanny), Gary (Arlene), Don (Heather) and Wendy (Gary), 13 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends. The Gillette family moved to Vernon in 1927 where Harold attended Beairsto School. Harold was only 16 when he met the love of his life Honey, who moved with her family to Vernon. They were married August 10, 1940 and spent 72 wonderful years together. Dad was a veteran of WW2 and after discharge from the service in 1946 began his job with the City of Vernon where he worked for 33 years. Dad joined the Boy Scout movement with his sons and stayed on for over 50 years as a leader, trainer and mentor. He was a founding member of Vernon Civil Defense, a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 and Trinity United Church.

Winnifred Sarah Callas
“Wynne” or “Winnie”, as she was known to her family and friends, was born on March 7, 1924 to George and Louisa Gould and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. Wynne met the love of her life, Ed Callas, and they were soon engaged. Ed joined the RCAF during World War 11 and Wynne joined WRENS (Royal Canadian Navy), hoping to be sent overseas so she could see Ed. Instead, she was stationed in Shelburne, N.S. On March 27, 1945, Wynne married Ed at Bissell Memorial United Church in Edmonton, Alberta. They moved to Toronto where they both attended watchmaking school at Ryerson Tech., and subsequently opened their own jewellery stores, first in Edmonton and later, in Wainwright, Alberta. Wynne was appreciated in her life for her value and love of music, education, books and sewing. She sang in many church and community choirs, played violin and piano, loved word games and crossword puzzles, and sewed clothing and costumes for “The Singing North” and “Powerhouse Theatre”. Ed and Wynne recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary with their children and “new family” at Orchard Valley. Wynne was pre-deceased by her daughter Louise, and leaves behind her devoted and loving husband, Ed, two children, Chic and Dolly and their spouses, 7 grandchildren and 3 great–grandchildren. There will be a Celebration of Life for Wynne at Orchard Valley (2829 34 Street, Vernon) on Tuesday, June 16th at 3:00 p.m. If you wish, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Annette, beloved mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother and especially “aunty” of so many. Annette died suddenly and peacefully on April 22, 2015 at her home in Columbus Court in Vernon. She is survived not only by her very large extended family but by the hundreds of friends whose lives she touched over her 87 years. Warm of heart and generous of spirit, Annette was always there for friends and family in need. From bowling at the Lincoln Lanes to lawn bowling, to the Red Hats society, to volunteering at the Schubert Centre, Annette’s passion and presence were well known in Vernon. There will be a Celebration of Life luncheon held in Annette’s honour at the Schubert Centre at noon on Saturday, July 18th 2015.
PETERS,
Stuart Kenneth It is with profound sadness that the family of Stuart Kenneth Peters announces his passing on June 5, 2015, surrounded by his children, close family and friends. Stu, as he was known, was born on October 27, 1959 in Abbotsford BC and was predeceased by both of his parents, William and Susan Peters, and his youngest sister, Charlotte. Stu will be deeply missed by his children: Tabatha, Brian, Stephanie (Zac), Sarah (Kyle), and Joshua; and his grandchildren: Taylor, Austin, James, Carter, Devyn, and Jax. Stu is also survived by his longtime friend and mother of his children, Carol Dunnill, his 8 siblings, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and an infinite amount of friends. Dad spent as much time as possible with each of his children and grandchildren, was an avid hunter and fisherman, and especially loved playing poker. His favourite phrase was “I’m All In”. We spent childhood summers camping, fishing, hunting and making memories that we will cherish forever. His house was our gathering place; whether it was a family/friends BBQ, poker nights, or coffee talks, the door was always open to anyone and everyone. A service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Epilepsy Foundation. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333. Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

PHIL & BETTY BLACKALL Married June 3, 1945 On behalf of the citizens of Enderby and surrounding area, I would like to thank Phil and Betty Blackall for their generosity to others in the 12 years that they lived in our community. Phil for picking bottles and donating the money to people that needed help and a friendly smile. We hope that the both of you will be happy in your new home in Armstrong. You will be missed by all that know you and others who just needed a chocolate bar. With love from all the family.
