RDNO saves on employee payroll RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The amount of payroll has shrunk at the Regional District of North Okanagan. There were 30 employees paid more than $75,000 in 2014. That is down from 34 in 2013. Total payroll for RDNO was $5.82 million in 2014, down from $6.2 million the year before. There was also $433,996 in expenses in 2014. Rick Fairbairn “It’s way down and we set out to do that when we were organizing staff and the organization,” said Rick Fairbairn, chairperson. The top paid employee was chief administrative officer David Sewell with a salary of $146,469 and expenses of $5,780. Others on the list include Leah Mellot, electoral area services general manager, with a wage of $140,039 and expenses of $9,966, and Dale McTaggart,

engineering general manager, with remuneration of $135,714 and expenses of $1,389. RDNO’s 2014 annual report also indicates that $299,153 was paid out to directors, alternate directors and committee members, while there was $29,887 in expenses. Rural Lumby’s Fairbairn, who was chairperson last year, had a salary of $40,138 and expenses of $6,494. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, earned $25,569. “It’s somewhat around minimum wage when you add up the hours,” said Macnabb, adding that elected duties take away from his job as an engineer. However, Macnabb insists people don’t get into politics for the money. “The board reps are pretty committed and do an awful lot of work.” Macnabb had $5,492 in expenses, including attendance at provincial and regional conferences. “There were also trips to Kelowna for Okanagan Regional Library. There’s a lot of travel involved.”

Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, had remuneration of $25,420 and expenses of $4,439 while retired Cherryville director Eugene Foisy had a salary of $20,993 and $2,271 in expenses. Jackie Pearase, who was not re-elected as rural Enderby director, had a salary of $21,577 and expenses of $7,031 in 2014. “The majority of that (expenses) was related to mileage. It’s a long drive from Area F to the regional district office and once a month I was to Kamloops (for Fraser Basin Council),” she said. For those electoral area directors elected in November, Cherryville’s Hank Cameron had remuneration of $1,350 and expenses of $230, and there was a salary of $1,350 and expenses of $205 for rural Enderby’s Herman Halvorson. Remuneration and expenses were also paid out to directors appointed from the six municipalities. The full annual report can be found at www.rdno.ca/agendas/150617_AGN_BoD_ FULL.pdf.

Arson charge laid RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Authorities are adamant that a fire in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park was intentionally started. A blaze broke out near Cosens Bay Friday before 9:30 p.m. “With the certain things witnesses saw, it leads us to believe it was something other than a campfire,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. A suspect was taken into custody after the individual was detained by Coldstream firefighters who responded to the fire. At one point, it was reported the flames were about 20 feet high and covered an area 20-feet-by-60-feet. “Upon arrival, we found an area in a steep portion of the park with four to five citizens actioning the fire from the lake side. Without their quick action it would have been a different outcome,” said Dave Sturgeon, Coldstream fire chief. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for their help in the efforts as our biggest challenge was gaining access to the site.” B.C. Forestry firefighters also responded to the scene. The incident is not believed to be connected to other suspicious fires in Greater Vernon in the past year. Justin Rees, 24, appeared in court Monday on a charge of arson. His case has been put over until June 24 to consult with counsel.

CMHC reports that the situation isn’t limited to just Vernon. “Vacancy rates moved lower this spring as increased rental demand outpaced additions to rental supply,” said Carol Frketich, CMHC regional economist. “Most of the province’s 27 centres surveyed in April reported lower vacancy rates compared to a year earlier.” The vacancy rate in Kelowna is 1.9 per cent while it is 5.1 per cent

in Kamloops, 1.6 per cent in Penticton and two per cent in Salmon Arm. Cunningham insists provincial and federal governments need to take more responsibility for ensuring access to affordable housing. “We will have conversations on social housing. We need a national housing strategy,” she said. The City of Vernon has initiated some programs to promote attainable units, including grants for private

sector developers who construct affordable housing. “Habitat for Humanity also has a great project and we are trying to help them,” said Cunningham.

An Alberta man was found safe and sound after venturing out on to Okanagan Lake. On June 12 at about 5 p.m., Vernon RCMP received a report of a man leaving Ellison Provincial Park at about 4 p.m. in an attempt to swim across the lake. “He had removed most of his clothes and left them on a rock,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “They (friends) watched him until they couldn’t see him and they started to panic.” Members of Vernon Search and Rescue were called out and they located the 19-yearold man within several hundred metres of the west side of the lake. “Obviously he was a

decent swimmer,” said Molendyk. The man, who apologized for his actions,

was taken to hospital because his body temperature had decreased while in the cold water.

It’s believed the incident began over some drinks and an argument.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM PUBLIC NOTICE

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

While some concerns are coming from law enforcement officials, organizers are defending a popular event. The RCMP report that there was heavy traffic volume on Silver Star Road for the inaugural Foam Fest at Silver Star Mountain Saturday. “Vehicles were parked everywhere,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, adding that there were vehicles along the road from the Sovereign Lake turnoff to the resort. However, the resort says the event was a success. “Considering we had close to 2,000 vehicles and one less parking lot (three slides were staged in one of the lots), we managed as best as we could,” said Anne Haight, director of Anne Haight sales and marketing. “The line-up on Silver Star Road, short-lived and during the peak time, was due to event parking fee collection for racers which was facilitated by the event organizers.” Brad Baker, the resort’s operations manager, was responsible for parking during Foam Fest. “At no time was access or egress to any building or residence ever compromised nor any hydrant blocked. I personally spoke to the Silver Star Fire Department and they did not have a concern or issue,” said Baker. “We had six staff dedicated solely to organized parking as well as others assisting as needed. As well, we had two shuttle buses moving guests to the village from car park E to reduce traffic volumes at the village.” Molendyk says the detachment regularly has discussions with Silver Star resort and he anticipates Foam Fest traffic will be a topic. Police officers were also keeping an eye out for speeders on Silver Star Road. “The speed limit is 60 kilometres an hour and the average speed was 90, with the highest being 96,” said Molendyk.

An apparent break-and-enter turned out to be something completely different for Vernon RCMP. On Saturday at about 9:50 p.m., officers received a report of intruders at a compound in the 4200 block of 30th Street. “A security company reported that there were two people sitting inside a motorhome in a compound and they appeared to be drinking,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

The sound of silence

he elephant in the room was silent. A week ago today, a capacity crowd of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce gathered to hear from the mayors of Coldstream and Vernon and the chairperson of the Regional District of North Okanagan. During their presentations, the politicians provided an update on their jurisdictions, with particular emphasis on the economy and trying to meet the needs of the public. Now as someone who has lost count of how many chamber events I have covered, I know the real action at these events is not the speeches but the question and answer period. Generally, someone in Richard Rolke the audience throws out an issue that can cause discomfort for the VIP. However, this time around I was proven wrong. Except for an inquiry about the future of the Welcome to Greater Vernon signs, there wasn’t a peep out of those present. The lack of interaction with the elected officials was surprising given that the chamber of commerce has been a vocal critic of the current governance structure in Greater Vernon. The organization’s executive enthusiastically endorsed a citizens’ campaign last year to have amalgamation of the jurisdictions studied, and more recently, the Greater Vernon chamber had a motion regarding governance supported by the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. The GVCC policy resolution calls for changes that would enable the provincial government to initiate a study even if only one jurisdiction is interested in exploring the business case for changes in regional governance. “We appreciate that there are pros and cons related to different governance models but those can’t be examined if there is unwillingness by local governments to explore those ideas or

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

if there is a lack of financial resources from the province to undertake such reviews,” said Matt Davidson, chairperson of GVCC’s policy advisory committee, in a media release in late May. So if governance is so important to the chamber, why didn’t the issue surface during last week’s breakfast meeting? They had the three most senior politicians for the area in the room and they could have put them on the spot, or at least heard from them first-hand as to why the officials believe the current structure is the most effective. But instead of championing the cause, the chamber’s executive and rank-and-file members didn’t take advantage of the opportunity. “That’s not the only thing we’re dealing with,” said Dan Rogers, chamber manager, when asked why the elected officials weren’t challenged about amalgamation. And that’s obviously the case as the chamber is multi-pronged and is focused on a broad range of issues critical to its membership and the community at large. However, it was just surprising that an organization that has made so much fuss about governance and is lobbying the provincial government over the matter wouldn’t corner local politicians when they are present in the same room. But then again, perhaps the reason the amalgamation debate didn’t erupt is because the civic leaders were in the room. Mayors Akbal Mund and Jim Garlick and Rick Fairbairn, Regional District of North Okanagan chairperson, presented themselves as team players who are willing to look beyond boundaries if it’s in the best interest of their residents. “We will continue to work with our partners for the betterment of the region and its citizens and businesses,” said Fairbairn. Maybe the politicians provided the chamber with some perspective and new information to consider.

It sometimes seems that in her quest to seem hip, Christy Clark forgets that her job as premier requires a certain level of decorum and respect. Clark once again demonstrated how oblivious she can be, creating another fracas with her attempt to host an International Day of Yoga event. Om the Bridge would have seen Vancouver’s busy Burrard Bridge closed for several hours June 21, and set the province back $150,000. June 21 is also, as many people are aware — though apparently not Clark — National Aboriginal Day. Clark apparently still hasn’t learned a lesson that most people learn in their childhood, that showing respect creates respect in turn. When it comes to dealing with B.C.’s First Nations, showing respect is a key piece of the puzzle. It would be hard to describe how much disrespect Clark showed by organizing and planning to attend this event on the same day. And she didn’t stop there, taking to Twitter to mock the people expressing concern over Om the Bridge. The whole sorry mess fell apart June 12, when Clark announced she wouldn’t be attending Om the Bridge. It’s worth noting that in Clark’s 220word announcement that she wouldn’t be attending the event, only 23 words were dedicated to Aboriginal Day — the rest was about the wonders of yoga. One Twitter user, Peter McCartney, summed up Clark’s attitude pretty well when he suggested the premier was “showing all the maturity of a 12-yearold.” Though perhaps that is doing a disservice to 12-year-olds. Most of them have a better idea of what respect for themselves and others entails. Perhaps we could find a 12-year-old to offer Clark some basic lessons? — Penticton Western News

Respect our veterans

he letter in the May 24 edition dealing with veterans' matters begs for further comment. There is a saying that says, if you enjoy your freedom, thank a veteran. The current definition of a veteran includes, among others, anyone who has served in the forces of this country. They do not have to have served in a theatre of war. Just within my own family, my father, two uncles, an aunt and a grandfather all served in one capacity or another, and they all did more than their share for this country as we now know it. To even consider a new veterans' charter in the form proposed is nothing less than a total insult to these people. Over the last number of years, I have

TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE I would like to respond to Cathy Widmark’s letter published May 13. I suggest that in fact everyone who is eligible to vote, does vote one way or another in every election. Most people will go to the polls to express their feeling about government according to their political feelings or experience. They will either support the status quo, or try to make a change. Others will abstain from voting. In any democratic society, an abstention is still a vote. It expresses the idea that this voter is either completely satisfied with the order of the day, is making a silent protest, or is afraid of the outcome. The only other explanation for not voting, is that it takes too much effort to go to the polls. Gregory A. Milne

served in a number of capacities for the Royal Canadian Legion. I therefore know first hand what many of the veterans' needs are. Is it not high time that we start selecting leaders in this country, regardless of political stripe, who have some vision for the future, along with the political will and conviction to carry it out? By this, I mean a vision to allow the economy to grow with our population and give at least a bit of security to our people. If that were a reality, we would have money enough to pay our bills without deficit budgets, and have the services we need, including services for veterans. Is this really too much to ask? Cam Clayton

that kind of situation, but clearly, there needs to be a change made to protect the lives and property of drivers and passengers. I would very much like to know that you have expressed my concerns about the safety of all travelling that stretch of highway and the common sense solution I have proposed. It can’t happen too soon as the increasing summer traffic is only going to present more challenges for cross traffic citizens and workers. I ask you once again to bring this to the attention of the transportation minister. Slow that traffic down. Save lives and protect the ability of workers to provide for their families. No major studies, no major work projects, no time wasted. It’s just that simple. Please turn your attention to this very important priority. Glenna Miles

At one point, five rattlers moved up to their den and I stood above them. I put my feet gently on two of them and picked up two more by their tails. I yelled for my 15-year-old son to get me a big glass jar and to watch out for the snakes. In the end, I had five rattlers in a jar on our mantle piece. My wife was having a tea party with some friends so she told me to get rid of the snakes. I had a .22 rifle so I took the jar down to the beach and dumped them out one at a time. However, each snake moved so I had to reverse the rifle and bash their heads in. As your article states, it is now illegal to kill rattlers. Bart Bartholomew COSENS BAY ROAD The Ministry of Transportation request to remove a wide corridor from Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park for Cosens Bay Road upgrades and future power lines and utilities for cabin owners, and for future cabin/subdivision development is one of the most short-sighted ideas I have come across in my life. The reasons this proposal should never have been given any serious consideration has been aptly covered by many voices more knowledgeable than I and I don’t propose to rehash them here. I

SNAKE STORY Regarding your front page article May 22 concerning rattlesnakes, after the war, my wife and I hired a carpenter to build a house for us on Tronson Road for $25,000. Friends said we were crazy. Our five kids would have to walk two miles to school and worse, I found a rattlesnake den just above Tronson Road.

would however bring your attention to the uniqueness of this park and its proximity to Vernon. It is by far the most heavily used park in the area and as such, in part defines who we are as a community and people. Are we to sacrifice this priceless natural heritage for the sake of development and beggar future generations with a diminished park, or will we take the long view and protect the park for future generations as the founders envisioned? Those making the proposal from the artificial environment and comfort of their offices should spend some time in the park, particularly on a quiet morning. Sit at the bay, listen to the birds, the water lapping at the shore, watch an eagle drift overhead, a deer browse nearby, and then explain to their children what price they would put on this.

Motor vehicle accidents kept North Okanagan RCMP officers busy on the weekend. No serious injuries were sustained during two incidents in Spallumcheen and one in rural Vernon. On Saturday at about 11:35 p.m., officers were called to the 2700 block Otter Lake Road where a vehicle was upside down in a ditch next to a power pole. The incident occurred when a 48-year-old Spallumcheen woman drove off the road to the right. She was able to get out of the vehicle with minor Gord Molendyk injuries. “She was checked out by Emergency Health Services and went home,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The cause of the accident is not known. “Perhaps it was speed or not paying close enough attention,” said Molendyk. And on Sunday, officers were called to a crash in the 5100 block of East Vernon Road at 5 a.m. It appears that a 20-year-old Prince George man was out for a ride on his motorcycle when the vehicle caught the edge of the road. The man was not wearing a helmet and he was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital to have his injuries checked out. “They were concerned about a concussion and he was released after that,” said Molendyk. Also on Sunday, officers responded to a motor vehicle crash at Salmon River Rd and Heywood Armstrong Road before 1:30 p.m. The driver of an older Mercury car was attempting to make a left-hand turn and was checking to see if it was clear when the motorcycle collided with the front end of the car. “The two people on the bike came off as a result,” said Molendyk. The motorcycle’s occupants, a 59-year-old man and 76-year-old woman from Vernon, were transported to VJH and later released with non-serious injuries. The two people in the car were not injured.

Lumby golf teed up RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lumby officials are trying to keep a sports tradition on course. Mayor Kevin Acton says the village is looking at ways to ensure the Lumby Golf Club, which is a nonprofit group, remains viable. “We are working at trying to get water up to them,” he said. “They need water for septic and they need mowers. It’s a beautiful spot and really could be something.” Kevin Acton The club, which has been around since 1961, leases the 39-acre property from the village for $1 a year. The course consists of nine holes and sand greens and green fees are $10 a day. “They need a helping hand, a little seed money,” said Acton, who believes the golf course is an amenity that can help draw residents and tourists to Lumby. “It’s a possible economic benefit, an attraction.”

Okanagan Basin Water Board officials are concerned that an early start to the milfoil growing season could create challenges in local lakes.

Milfoil blooms early Morning Star Staff

An early start to spring has given a jump-start to an invasive species. Eurasian milfoil is already being reported in Okanagan lakes. “I received our first call last week about the weeds and then on Monday, I had a couple calls saying the weed had broken the surface of the lake and is starting to form mats,” said James Littley, Okanagan Basin Water Board operations manager. “It is looking like a good year for milfoil, and that’s bad for the rest of us.” It’s believed early snow melt and warm temperatures have created ideal conditions for milfoil to grow. Milfoil arrived in Okanagan lakes in the early 1970s and OBWB

employs three operators who spend thousands of hours trying to control the weed. Besides turning off tourists, milfoil robs oxygen from the water, increases water temperature, slows the flow at the mouths of rivers, and increases polluting nutrients in the water. It has also been linked to fish kills and loss of biodiversity. In the winter, milfoil operators rototill (uproot) the weed while it’s dormant. The roots are then left to freeze and die. In the summer, the weed is harvested six feet below the surface collected and turned into fertilizer. For more information, go to www. obwb.ca/milfoil or www.okwaterwise. ca/nature.

Canada’s national police force is hitting the beat to spread awareness about mental health. The RCMP have developed a video urging other organizations and residents to join the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ride Don’t Hide event, which takes place at Coldstream’s Creekside Park Sunday. “Support from organizations like the RCMP is integral to Ride Don’t Hide’s success and demonstrates a commitment to the psychological health and safety of its employees,” said Peter Coleridge, CMHA national chief executive officer. “More people are now talking about mental health and mental illness, and we encourage everyone including companies and organizaGilles Moreau tions to join the movement to eliminate discrimination and stigma and improve access to community-based programs and services across Canada.” The RCMP video shares the story of assistant commissioner Gilles Moreau. “I had issues with mental health in the past and I did contemplate suicide. It was only because my daughter needed me that I did not go through with it,” said Moreau. “Because of our policing culture where everyone has to be strong and be a superhero, what I’m trying to do is break down that barrier. Underneath these red tunics, we are human beings first.” The video can be found at http://bit.ly/1JdSgBE Moreau’s goal is to address the discrimination and stigma surrounding mental illness within the RCMP, and highlight the importance for RCMP members to look after their mental health. “The biggest challenge with mental illness is that, unlike a physical injury, you can’t see it. As we talk about mental health, its importance and the impact it has on every one of us, we are helping to remove the stigma,” he said. The RCMP across B.C. will be taking part in Ride Don’t Hide, forming teams and participating in various locations. The Vernon ride is open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels, with registration at 8 a.m., a warmup at 9:30 a.m. and the ride beginning at 9:45 a.m. That will be followed by a barbecue and prizes. Registration and donations can be made online at http://ridedonthide.com/bc/ride/vernon/. CMHA’s Vernon branch has been in operation since 1959. For information, go to www.vernon. cmha.bc.ca/

Vernon-born actress wins her first Leo award Lilah Fitzgerald, 11, awarded best lead performance by a female for her role in TV film Polka-Dot and Luey

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

At only 11 years old, Vernon-born and raised actress Lilah Fitzgerald now has a Leo award to add to her mantel. Fitzgerald, who lives in Vancouver with her family, won the award for best lead performance by a female in a television movie. The award, which was presented at a ceremony in Vancouver Sunday and celebrates excellence in B.C. film and television, came for Fitzgerald’s role in Polka-Dot and Luey (also known as A Girl’s Best Friend), which came out in January and also stars James Denton, of Desperate Housewives fame. “I really did not expect to win because I’m only 11,” said Fitzgerald, when contacted by The Morning Star. “When I heard them call my name, I was completely shocked and shouted ‘what?’. I heard a cheer erupt from the Polka-Dot and Luey table. I walked up to the stage, repeating over and over that same ‘what?’. “When I got up on the stage and was faced with the lights and the too-high micro-

Can you help me do that?’ And then I realized ‘I’m doing it.’” In her speech, Fitzgerald thanked the

film’s director Terry Ingram and producer Christian Bruyère and made reference to Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Polka-Dot and Luey is said to be a throwback to Huck Finn, and includes a few

monologues from the book). “I will be forever grateful to each and every person and dog I had the pleasure of meeting on the Polka-Dot and Luey set, for making it that free and easy and comfortable raft for me. It’s lovely to live on a raft,” said Fitzgerald in her speech. In the film, Fitzgerald stars as Penelope, better known as Polka-Dot, a spunky young girl who has a knack for helping people, particularly her ailing mother. While out looking for a part-time job, she befriends a hard-nosed police officer (played by Denton) and his tracking dog, Luey. When Polka-Dot’s mother’s condition worsens, Luey helps Polka-Dot find the strength and faith inside to help her move forward. This is Fitzgerald’s second leading role. Her first was in the 2011 biographical television film, The Pastor’s Wife, based on the story of Mary Winkler. She also had a co-starring role in the made-for TV film Strange Magic, which told the life story of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Other appearances include short film The Stolen and the full-length feature Seventh Son, starring Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges. Fitzgerald begins shooting season two of the TV series Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce in July. She has a recurring role as Anouk, the daughter of Phoebe (played by Beau Garrett), one of the four leading women in the show.

VPAG displays Midsummer’s works in its container gallery Vernon Public Art Gallery prepares for its annual auction fundraiser and garden party Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s own container gallery is once again full with art. The Vernon Public Art Gallery has announced that all of the donated artworks for its 2015 Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts fundraiser auction is now on display at the Big Steel Box Satellite Gallery. “The Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts auction preview is a fabulous attraction for tourists and visitors of Vernon to check out, displaying such a diverse mix of work by local artists,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. The steel containers were originally set up to house works for the third Okanagan Print Triennial, which took place from March to May.

In addition, Ratio Coffee and Pastry is located in front of the satellite gallery and is selling hot and cold beverages and gourmet pastries for people to enjoy during their visit. “This is a great way to spend an afternoon in downtown Vernon,” said Kennedy Grant. The Midsummer’s artwork has been on display in the containers as of Tuesday and will be shown until July 13, when the works will moved to the 29th annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts, taking place July 15 at Turtle Mountain Winery. “This collection of artwork is not to be missed, and collectors will delight in what they find this year. Some of the mediums included in the collection are acrylic, oil, watercolour, printmaking, sculpture and collage,” said Kennedy Grant. Donations received include large-scale pieces by Sean Serfas and Gary Dewhurst, valuable works by Peter Ewart and Joyce Devlin, along with more artworks in various mediums from artists from around the Okanagan. “We are overwhelmed at the calibre of

work being donated to Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts this year from emerging and senior artists,” said Kennedy Grant. “There is something for everyone in this year’s auction collection, with some great packages donated by local businesses as well.” The gallery is also displaying all the donated artworks on its website at vernonpublicartgallery.com, under current exhibitions. Visitors to the site can opt to make an advanced sealed bid on a piece of art that will stand on the night of the auction. The Big Steel Box Satellite Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays. It is located at the corner of 31st Avenue and 31st Street across from Cenotaph Park.

Lucinda Williams announced to play Vernon

Morning Star Staff

American folkcountry-blues legend Lucinda Williams is making her way to Vernon this summer. Victoria’s High Tide Entertainment has just announced it is bringing Williams, a threetime Grammy award winner, to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre July 24 before her appearance at the Calgary Folk Festival. Williams may not be as well known as some of her contemporaries, Emmylou Harris and Mary Chapin Carpenter, but she is well respected by fans

Lucinda Williams and music critics for her personal, heartfelt songwriting style and crossover appeal. “She’s pithy and penetrating, bruised but steadfast, proud of the grain and drawl of her voice. Her music places itself in a vanishing, ide-

alized Southland where country, soul, blues and gospel all share a common vocabulary of twang,” reads a review in The New York Times. Born in Louisiana, Williams started her career playing gigs in Austin and Houston, Texas before recording her first album, Ramblin’ on my Mind in 1978. Now based in Nashville and L.A., she has built on her success, recording and performing both in rock and acoustic settings in a crossover of blues, country and folk music. She has been nom-

inated 12 times for a Grammy as both a songwriter and performer. Her song, Passionate Kisses (performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter), won Williams her first Grammy for Best Country Song in 1994. Her 1998 breakthrough album, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, won her another Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album, while her song, Get Right with God, off her 2001 album Essence, won her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Williams has toured with the likes of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Allman Brothers and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. She has collaborated with country legends Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle on numerous occa-

sions, and appeared on the soundtrack to the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? with the track Cold, Cold Heart, which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. She has also worked with the likes of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band, Elvis Costello, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and even Irish punk band Flogging Molly. In September, Williams released her 11th studio album, Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone, which has received critical acclaim. Williams takes the stage at the Performing Arts Centre July 24 at 7:30 p.m., with opening act Buick 26. Tickets are now on sale and cost $63.25 to $69.25. Order them at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, or at www.ticketseller.ca.

Folk artist heads up to Vertigo Morning Star Staff

He’s been called “folk music’s charmingly talented boy next door,” and now Rockwood, Ontario’s Ian Reid is once again travelling far from home. Reid is touring western Canada on the release of his sixth album, Hawkstripe, and stops at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo Sunday. Along with being a singer-songwriter, Reid plays guitar and ukulele and intersperses his songs with stories from his travels. “I play solo and I tell stories, and I’ve had many comments from folks that they like to hear the same thing that they hear at an Ian Reid show, so I’ve realized that recording an album off the floor, just me and my guitar, is a wonderful thing,” said Reid on his website. Reid has played nearly 800 shows, earning much respect from his musical peers and fans alike, since returning from years of teaching overseas in 2008. He has won songwriting awards in South Korea, Guelph and Kitchener and his song,

HOW’S THE Frank and Ernest

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TWO HOLDINGS MAY BE BETTER THAN ONE Fred Allen, a comedian and juggler who died in 1956, said, “The last time I saw him, he was walking down lover’s lane holding his own hand.” That’s sad, and in bridge we have suit holdings that sometimes leave players feeling lonely. In today’s deal, South is in three notrump. How should he walk the walk after West leads the heart nine? Note that a nine lead is always top of nothing, unless you use coded leads, when a 10 or a nine shows zero or two higher cards and would be either top of nothing or from a suit headed by Q-10-9, K-10-9 or A-10-9. South’s sequence indicates

a balanced hand with a good 22 to 24 points. North raises to three no-trump, expecting his partner to waltz home. However, it is preferable to have 15 points opposite 14, instead of 23 opposite 6. With the points more evenly divided, moving between the two hands is much easier. South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. From where will two more winners come? It will have to be diamonds - but how? If declarer leads low to his jack, he wins when East holds the king and queen. But if South plays low to his nine, then low to his jack, he succeeds when East has the king-10 or queen-10, two holdings instead of one. That

is clearly the right approach. Also, because declarer must lead diamonds twice from the dummy, he has to win the first trick with the heart queen. Then, after his diamond nine loses to West’s queen, South takes the next heart with dummy’s ace, plays a diamond to East’s 10 and his own jack, and claims.

Club ready for Father’s Day car show ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Mike and Nyra Cochrane’s Coldstream home is a tribute to the T-bird. The Cochranes own six of the vintage Ford Thunderbird vehicles, all built between 1962 and 1971. The cars take up space in the large garage, and there’s also a Thunderbird memorabilia room in the home. “The T-bird is one of the first cars I drove,” said Mike, a retired bicycle shop owner. “They’re easy to drive. They’re comfortable. And I like the style of the car.” One of the classic cars, a ‘62 chestnut Roadster with creamcoloured interior, came with the original bill of sale from a dealership in Hayward, Calif. The suggested retail price was just under $5,500. The power lift windows were $106.20, power seats for driver and passenger were $184.20 and the pushbutton radio was priced at $112.80. Tinted glass ($43), windshield washers ($13.70) and heavy-duty battery ($7.60) were included. The most costly luxury was air conditioning with a suggest retail price of $415.10. “I still have them all and they all work,” said Mike. The Cochranes are members of the North Okanagan Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada, and their ‘62 Roadster adorns the poster for the club’s upcoming 21st annual Father’s Day Car Show. The event runs Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the north end of the Village Green Centre. Vehicle registration is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and admission is by donation. The show will feature antique vehicles, classics, customs and trucks. Proceeds from the event are donated to the community by the club.

Irish rattle Raiders on St. Pat’s eve Shamrocks retire Pat Nelson’s No. 20 in ceremony

TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Pat Nelson was a champion, a captain, hard working, calm, a mentor, a goal scorer, respectful. And always a Shamrock. Nelson’s No. 20 was retired during the second intermission when the Armstrong Shamrocks hosted the Kelowna Raiders in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League action Saturday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Shamrocks did their former captain proud with an 11-6 victory. “We decided to retire his jersey because he finally decided to retire,” joked Shamrocks’ manager Ryan Nitchie. “I attempted to retire two or three times in the past,” said Nelson, who is serving in his first season as a co-coach for the Shamrocks. “It’s an honour to be recognized like this by the league and the organization.” Growing up a Shamrocks fan, Nelson, now 50, donned the green and gold from 1998-2014. During his 17 seasons, he racked up 115 goals, 179 assists and 294 points. Nelson won back-to-back Shaw Cups in 2002 and 2003, scoring the winner in Game 3 in 2002. “I remember it clearly. We got the ball with less than two minutes, called a time-out and set up a simple play. Pat executed it perfectly and buried an outside shot to take a onegoal lead and hang on to win the Cup,” said Nitchie. Nelson’s No. 20 joins the retired numbers of Jim Maundrell, Adrien Lemaire, Lance McGregor and Doug Morrison. All were in attendance except for Morrison, who was represented by his nephew, Andrew Morrison. “It was special to be up here with guys like Lance and Jim. They were guys I grew up watching and I never gave much thought to being up here with them,” said Nelson. Never one to bring attention to

Pat Nelson’s No. 20 joins the retired numbers of fellow Armstrong Shamrocks greats Adrien Lemaire (from left), Jim Maundrell, Lance McGregor and Doug Morrison (represented by his nephew, Andrew Morrison) at a special ceremony Saturday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Joining Nelson (centre) was his wife Debbie, son Sheldon and daughter Adrian. himself, Nelson kept his speech short and sweet. “I’d like to thank my friends, family, teammates and coaches for everything over the years. I also want to thank the rivals, because without them, we wouldn’t have competition,” said Nelson, who called winning the Rowcliffe Cup (regular season), Royal Cup and Shaw Cup in 2003, and getting to play alongside sons Sheldon and Cam last year, his career highlights. Sheldon, daughter Adrian and wife Debbie joined Nelson for the ceremony Saturday. Close to 40 former Shamrocks and Vernon Tigers were in attendance and were reminiscing about battle stories. “He was the captain when I played and in my eyes he still is the captain,” said Blaine Stewart, who played beside Nelson from 19982008. “He’s a great mentor for these young guys to look up to.” The Shamrocks (6-1) held off a second-period surge by the Raiders (1-6) and cruised to victory. Second-year Shamrock Jordan Zacharuk sniped five goals including three and the game-winner in

the second, nullifying any Raider comeback. “He (Pat) really helps me out, he’s positive and spends a lot of one-onone time with you,” said Zacharuk. “Things were getting out of hand, but he kept reminding us to stick to our game plan and move the ball around.” Singles came from Andrew Schwab, Dylan Long, Steven Clark, Bayne Bosquet, Milan Marcetta and Braidy Webb. “I really love this team. They are young, skilled and fast. I’m privileged to be on the bench for the next generation of the Shamrocks,” said Nelson. The Shamrocks swept the weekend games after they dumped the Kamloops Rattlers 12-3 Friday night in Armstrong. Assistant captain Jarrett Medhurst’s hat trick and two assists powered the Shamrocks over the 3-3 Rattlers. Clark and Schwab supplied a pair of goals and Kas Boudreau, Kyle Versteeg, Bosquet, Rob Rintoul and Marcetta registered singles. The Shamrocks visit Kelowna Saturday night.

Tyler Seabrooke took the penalty shot and made a great move to beat Tigers goalie Aaron Jensen, cutting the lead to one. Kamloops (5-5-1) won the ensuing face-off and had the ball in Tigers territory but turned it over, ending any chance of earning a possib le draw. Ryan Sarazin had three goals for Vernon, who led 2-1 after one period and 5-3 after 40 minutes. Quintin Harrish had two goals while singles went to Jordan Orr and Ethan Anderson.

Blues shock Kelowna

Lack of subs sink ‘Pogos Morning Star Staff

Morning Star Staff

Vernon Tolko Blues U11 boys soccer team continues to roll. The Blues extended their unbeaten streak to five weeks and 10 games with a pair of weekend victories, which included a 3-1 decision over previously undefeated Kelowna Green. After Kelowna went up 1-0, the Tolko boys stepped up their game with a spark provided by striker Cash Anderson, whose tremendous work ethic resulted in a goal by Colby McManaman. Landon Janke then potted one before setting up Liam Leibel for the insurance marker. Great defence was provided by the back line of Liam Collins, Marcus Peterson, Alex Jones and Jared Eddy. Numerous spectacular saves and long kicks by keeper Ben Straight did not allow Kelowna the chance to get close as they pressed down the stretch. Midfielders Cameron Acob and Adam Zimmerman both played injured and had fantastic games on the outside wings. The win came 24 hours after a 7-1 romp over Salmon Arm. McNamaman notched a pair of goals within the first 10 minutes. Singles were provided by Owen Challen, Anderson, Janke, Peterson and Zack Loland. Aiden Winn stood tall in the net with a number of key saves to start the second half. Jones was exceptional as stopper.

U15s douse Blaze

Vernon United U15 girls thumped Kamloops U14A 6-2 in their final regular season match at MacArthur Island Sunday. Taylor Anguish led United with a hat trick. Mason Christensen, Maja Splawinski and Paige Latta added singles. The girls start a home and away series with Kelowna this week for Provincial Cup seeding.

U14s shutout Shuswap

Vernon United capped off their U14 girls regular season at home with a 2-0 win over Shuswap FC Sunday at Marshall Field. Danica Ariano and Elena Gaskell shared the clean sheet for United. Gaskell had some aggressive offensive runs before she donned the keeper jersey, while Emily Thomas and Sierra Folk had great control in midfield in the opening half. The defensive line of Gabrielle Triggs, Carly Southam, Sydney Bergman and Keira Correia made

United got the only goal they would need when Kelsey Falk blasted a shot to the top left corner. Falk would add the insurance on a breakaway from centre. Talia Quiring and Jayden Strachan had strong games for Vernon.

Road warriors

Vernon United U14 boys picked up four of a possible six points in a pair of road games. United drew 1-1 in Salmon Arm. Chris MacKintosh scored Vernon’s goal on a penalty shot early in the game. United blanked Kamloops 3-0 with goals from William Denny, Ian Oliphant and Michael Lapp. Ty Ogasawara, Zack Laranjo and Kristian Newell picked up assists.

Tolko tops Kamloops

Vernon Tolko United U13 boys beat Kamloops 4-1 in their final regular season contest. Lucien Desmazes-Landry opened the scoring while William Oordt-Bosman added two second-half goals and Saajan Klair had the other for Vernon. Jack Cotter,Kobe Grant and Dawson Martian picked up assists.

U13s blank hosts

Lynaya Bandy, Anne Cherkowski, Alexis Gauvin-Nice, McLennan, Jasanna Kunz, Rane Smith, Tianna Colvin, Marika Ternan and Janelle Barnett had solid games for Vernon.

Split in Shuswap

Vernon Tolko United MSE Precast Blues U11 girls split two games in Salmon Arm. Mya Robinson, Camryn

Beacon and Emma Glasser scored for Vernon in a 3-1 win over Kelowna United Whites while keeper Jordyn Kisilevich made a stunning save on a penalty shot. Robinson scored the lone goal in a 6-1 loss to Kamloops, who received an outstanding game from its keeper. Vernon bombarded the Kamloops net with shots from Robinson, Sierra Lochhead, Kaiden Sherwood and Kisilevich, only to be turned away by the keeper.

Tough U11B loss

Vernon U11B boys took on one of the toughest teams in the league and dropped a 2-1 decision to Kelowna. Declan Hardy had the lone goal after an offensive push from the front line of Justin Ruscheinsky and Daxton Podollan. Jonah Kiernan and Danny McLennan shared the game in goal. In the second match of the day, Vernon blitzed the Penticton Pinnacles 8-1. Podollan and McLennan each had a pair while singles went to Hardy, Roan Reid, Parker Munroe and Jonah Violini. Helping out the offence was the strong play of Alex Kazimer, Marcus Erho, Devin Bilodeau, Fraser Christensen and Hayden Murphy. The Pinnacles spoiled Kiernan’s shutout bid with a late marker.

Must-win for girls

Vernon United U17/18 girls face Shuswap Thursday in a mustwin playoff game. Shuswap enters the contest fresh off a 4-2 win over United Sunday at Blackburn Park. Kayci Lesosky and Hannah Love scored for United, with Love’s goal set up neatly by Tarah Smith and Brianne Robertson. Keeper Jordynne Tomiak had a strong game for United.

Kelowna RPM Automotive swamped the Turn-Key Ogopogos 4-1 in Capri Insurance Oldtimers Soccer League 45+ play Monday night at lonely Marshall Field. RPM had so many subs they could have started an intra-squad game on the sideline, while the Ogopogos only only had one spare. The Ogopogos (3-4-1) did strike first at the 20-minute mark when Ian Bos feathered a feed over to Bryan Schenker, who finessed his way around a few RPM defenders and the keeper, flipping the ball in the net. The first half ended 1-1. RPM (4-3-1) was awarded a penalty kick 20 minutes into the second half due to a hand ball in front of the Ogopogos’ net. Following the converted penalty kick, fatigue took over Turn-Key, as they surrendered two more goals before the end of the game. The North Country Appraisals

Kickers and Silver Stars played to a 1-1 draw at Parkinson Rec Centre in Kelowna. The Silver Stars (3-3-2) led at the half after an early top-corner snipe by an unmarked Nigel Clack. North Country (5-2-2) tied it with 25 minutes remaining. Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels fell 4-2 to Brown Benefits in Kelowna. The Camels (5-2-1) jumped on the board when Johnny Orton found Eric Ladner who scored on a volley from 20 yards. The Browns (8-1) tied it five minutes later and went into half up 2-1. A Camel defender coughed up the ball, giving Brown a breakaway and a 3-1 lead. Orton scored on a pass from Rick Raber with 15 minutes left. Paul Morgan clanked a free kick off the crossbar for the Camels with five minutes remaining. Shortly after, the Browns converted a penalty kick for the insurance marker.

A tall young agile father and his ever growing tall son scrutinize the valley below them. Strapped to their bodies is gear as if they are bush pilots. Just like pilots, they glide over tree tops and with their pilot-like eagle eyes survey the wide natural landscape for any unique objects. The young father remembers lying in his crib and looking up at the colourful airplane mobile suspended overhead, planes flying over his small head. He recalls when his father had taken him to the highest level in the airport tower and with eager eyes excitingly assessed the various airplanes, below him, on the airport runway. At first, he had felt small in comparison to his father and these huge machines, but had been thrilled to be experiencing this with his father. Now, on top of the high mountain he has another perspective. He feels tall in comparison to what’s below. The place is quiet, with no whirling squeaking machines about. And beside him is an excited youth who is thrilled to share this experience with his father, containing the thrill of this moment to be recalled many years in his future. The young father recalls the airplane stories his father and airplane mechanic grandfather had shared with him in the distant past. He feels at ease, as his grandfather had felt, when he had flown the quiet sleek glider planes for which he’d had a passion. They say certain family characteristics show up in children

The young father has inherited his father’s and grandfather’s elation when he is elevated far above the cares seen below and is at peace in this quietness. It may be experienced in an airplane or hiking high up a mountain top. He feels the same pride of fatherhood when he shares these experiences with his son, as most previous fathers have felt before him. Meanwhile, in another part of a country, another young proud father stands tall as his eyes skate back and forth over shiny striped ice as if he is on that same ice, packed in gear, following a puck with a long stick. He continues to survey the scene as his eyes follow a very special fast agile hockey player, his son, on that ice. He recalls his own first time when his proud father had packed him into hockey gear, strapped blades on his small feet, and had him fearlessly face a same small black object on the frozen ice. He had felt small in comparison to his father and that intimidating puck. He recalls the excitement and thrill he had experienced

the times he had controlled that small puck on the ice and had propelled it straight into a special compound surrounded by a net in order to capture it. He recalls the stories he had heard about Canadian hockey heroes and, like many Canadian boys, envisions this for himself. His award winning son’s grandfather may have had the same dream for himself. After all, this is a Canadian man’s sport. Now in this modern arena, he has another perspective. He feels tall in comparison to his surroundings. He sees the effort his son puts into perfecting skills in this very highly competitive team sport and is proud of his son’s achievements. Another excited youth is thrilled to share this experience with his father. The young father has passed onto his son the characteristic elation of directing, passing, and projecting a small object until it finds itself captured and stopped in its tracks. This elation may be experienced on an ice rink or on a golf course, to be recalled in later years. He feels the same

pride of fatherhood when he shares these experiences with his son, as previous fathers have felt before him. The Hearts of Fathers for Their Sons The hearts of fathers, Uncles and brothers, Who want for all sons To live life with fun. To be free from heartaches: To be free from heartbreaks: To be free from headaches. To be financially free: To be healthy, he’d see To have that guarantee: To hear sounds harmonized: To feel love energized: To taste wealthy dividends: To smell sweet blessed blends: To have trustworthy friends. Everyone’s fathers’ hugs; Like everyone’s love drugs, Arouses sons’ passion Into spirited action. Fathers spare sons’ worries From curiosities. They hope sons won’t forget: “Let go, Let Love” blanket Everyone’s heart’s trustees. Fathers’ love sends to sons, Heartbeats that say, “Well-done!”

Kala Star open house demonstrates learning opportunities Contributed

Kala Star has made an impact both in the classroom and in the community and is hosting an open house Thursday and Friday to showcase the students’ learning opportunities. Students in the academic/outdoor school have enjoyed a wide variety of activities: graphic design with Speedpro Signs; harvesting vegetables at Zelaney’s Farm; learning about sustainable fishing from chef

Ned Bell; cooking and safety locally with Gumtree Catering; boat safety with Vernon Boat Rentals; ski program with Silver Star Freestyle Club; spending time with seniors, playing cribbage; reading with pre-schoolers at Creekside Montessori; working with a bee rescuer and bee hives; harvesting apples at Bagha Orchards; raising chinook salmon, and following the route along the Fraser River to the Pacific Ocean; learning with the Society for

Protection of Kal Lake about Kalamalka Lake as our water source. The open house is from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is open to anyone curious about our learning environment. As well, if you are a business that would benefit our community by providing a hands-on learning opportunity for our students, we would love to talk as well. Kala Star is in the Alpine Centre on Kal Lake Rd. For details, see www.kalastar.ca

Lumby honours local businesses GeorGie Hay

Special to The Morning Star

Congratulations, Lumby Community Market, as I failed to mention your store last week as our featured Business Of The Week. Lumby Community Market is next door to our local Dollar Dollar in Arbor Park Mall. If you haven’t checked out this shop, it’s time you did. The selection is endless and wonderful treasures are everywhere. The Around The Block Lumby

Vendor’s Night Market started earlier this month and runs every Wednesday (weather permitting) until Oct. 7. Every week we’ll have a food bank donation bin and a donation jar for Music in The Park. The space rentals are $10 for drop-in and $75 for the season. The rental fees are donated 50/50 between Lumby Museum and Music In The Park. Next year we’ll pick another non-profit society that requires some money — there’s so many here in Lumby that could use it.

Evidence of hard work

he weather was just perfect last Saturday for the People Place Garden Tour: not too hot and a few clouds. The Kalamalka Demonstration Garden and Patchwork Farms at Okanagan College was very informative. Some volunteers were on site to take visitors around. The following information is from the college’s Web site: “This garden is open to the public from May to September and always welcomes volunteers. “Okanagan College – Vernon Campus has built a demonstration garden on two acres overlooking Kalamalka Lake. The garden includes Patchwork Farms, (a community farm), xeriscape areas, a food forest, rain gardens and a new agrarian initiative. “The garden has been designed to exhibit sustainable practices and endeavours to continually improve water management through installing water conservation features. “At the garden and farm, there is ongoing education and skillbuilding through practical applications and inclusive recreational opportunities for people living with physical, developmental, and mental conditions.” All other gardens were a joy to visit.

A GArdener’s diAry

Jocelyne Sewell

Every one of them was very different and worth the time. If you garden, you know the amount of time put into these parcels of heaven. I really enjoyed all the beautiful and huge hostas in some of the sites. Some hanging baskets and planters were so well-made and just looked great. The ponds were nice and peaceful. It was just a very nice and relaxing day. It is inspiring to see so many different

plants and now I will try to improve some of my flower beds. This week the Intergenerational Landed Learning Program affiliated with the Okanagan Science Centre will wrap-up at St. James Catholic School, completing five years of food growing in the Xerindipity Garden and the last three years at the school site. The program partners Grade 3 and 4 students with community volunteers throughout the school year to plant, care for and prepare food from the vegetables grown in the garden. On each gardening day Jan Hillis, a local retired dietitian, guides the children through food

preparation and sampling of the food that they grow organically and harvest from the raised beds. The students will be out of school shortly for the summer. Where did the time go? The plants are doing well and some of the sunflowers are already blooming. With so little rain this year, there was a lot of watering to do but everything is growing nicely. Some of the vegetables will be out now but this leaves room to grow for the tomato, squash, pepper and many other plants. The rest will be harvested when they are back in school.

“It’s more important than ever to have new donors...” — Mark Donnison

celebrate Canadians who have helped save lives through blood donation,” said Mark Donnison, vice-president of donor relations. “We are also hoping to welcome new donors to help replenish our blood supply on a regular basis.” Additional donations are especially important heading into the summer, a difficult period when many donors are away and not in a position to give. “We also lose 40 per cent of our donor base each year,” said Donnison. “As our most frequent donors are getting older, it’s more important than ever to have new donors join us now and throughout the year.” Canadian Blood Services returns to Vernon June 29 and 30 for a clinic at Trinity United Church. Every year, close to 40 per cent of blood donors stop donating for 12 months or more due to a variety of reasons. Canadian Blood Services needs about 170,000 additional donors per year to maintain the national blood supply. About 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment. Every minute of every day someone in Canada needs blood. Donors can share their donation story on social media using the hashtag #sharemore. To book an appointment and share more of yourself, download the GiveBlood app or visit blood.ca.

EXPERTS Darryl Walker

Brian Sanjenko

Q: A:

For most people, buying a home is most likely the largest single purchase they will ever do in their life. Having another opinion is always a good idea; & if that opinion is a professional opinion from someone who is trained in all aspects of home inspections & has the credentials to back it up, that would go a long way in giving you, the purchaser, peace of mind knowing what condition the home was in & what repairs may need to be done down the road or immediately. I have seen homes where a friend recommended that the home be purchased & thousands of dollars needed to be spent to repair what the friend missed, & in one case the house had to be demolished. If you had a health issue would you ask a friend’s opinion or would you go to your doctor? Always seek out the advice and opinions of trained professionals, you will feel a lot safer & it could save you money in the long run, & we all like saving money.

CET, HIS Hearing Instrument Specialist

I am planning on buying my first home; it is about 15 years old & appears to be in good condition. My friend who knows about houses looked at it with me & said that it was in good condition. Why would I need a professional home inspection?

Q: A:

What is an open fit hearing aid? How is it different from an in-the-ear hearing aid?

Open fit hearing aids are often configured as a behind-the ear (BTE) style. The amplifier and electronics sit on top of the ear. However, these hearing aids can be much smaller than the traditional BTE and the tubing that brings the sound to the ear is ultra slim with a small flexible tip that sits in the ear canal. The small tip or ‘dome’ in the ear results in an open fit without ‘plugging’ the ears. An open fit hearing aid is usually more comfortable, provides a more natural sound, and can eliminate problems with your own voice. However, the open fit hearing aids are not appropriate for severe hearing loss and are best for persons with mild to moderate high frequency hearing loss.

Mortgage Broker

Q: A:

I am a First Time Home Buyer, will it be to my advantage to use a Mortgage Broker?

You should always use a Mortgage Broker to arrange a Mortgage! A Mortgage Broker works with several different Mortgage lenders and will be able to help you to understand the information that is really important. A Broker is independent of a Bank or Credit Union and is compensated by the lender that receives the Mortgage so there is not a cost to you. As an Independent Mortgage Broker my commitment is to you as our client, we will ensure that you fully understand the process and what you can do to not only save time but to save money over the lifetime of your Mortgage. We provide ongoing support even after you buy the home and will explain the penalties associated with a Mortgage upfront. Very recently, CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing) released their survey results and an astounding 55% of all First Time Buyers used a Mortgage Broker in 2015. This independent survey confirms that Mortgage Brokers are a valuable resource and that our expertise is appreciated by First Time Buyers like you. The first step is to start the application and gather your documents, and give us a call!

Q: A:

Is it true that buyers are being asked to sign a contract agreement prior to looking at homes now?

Many REALTORS® are starting to use an agreement called “Exclusive Buyers Agency.” We’re seeing this more and more due to a couple of influences, one that with many models of real estate services offering differing commissions REALTORS® want to be clear about their expected remuneration (i.e. they will often ask to receive the same amount they offer other cooperating REALTORS®). This lets you understand your REALTOR® can represent you in all models and even private sales and negotiate their commission with the sellers. It is also about loyalty. Basically it protects the REALTOR® from investing immense amounts of time with a buyer only to find out they bought through a different REALTOR® or privately. It is sad really to have to use forms to enforce matters of honour, but sometimes, for people raised by coyotes, they have no remorse when leaving their hard working REALTOR® with nothing more than a gas bill. You would not expect any professional to give you their time, expertise and guidance without expecting to pay them and REALTORS® only get paid once they have successfully completed the sale.

SUMMER SKIN CARE

Summer is here & for most people, that means enjoying more time outdoors. The sun & hot temperatures, however, can come with some risks to your skin. Sun damage can lead to premature aging of the skin, dry skin, wrinkles & even skin cancer over time. The skin is our largest organ, so let’s protect it! Five tips for looking after your skin this summer: 1. Medications & the sun. Some medications including some antibiotics, cholesterol loweringmedications & skin preparations may cause you to burn more easily. 2. Drink plenty of water. Dehydration results in dry skin & may also bring out side effects in certain medications. Get a summer medication check-up to see if any of your medications have dehydration-related precautions. 3. Wear the right sunscreen. There are formulas for sensitive skin, children & even sunscreen specially made for your face and lips. The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends using a sunscreen with a rating of at least SPF 30 & to apply frequently and liberally. As well, don’t use old sunscreen - expired chemicals may actually make your skin react in the sun! 4. Stay out of the sun between 10am & 4pm. This is the time that the sun’s rays are most intense and damaging. 5. If you do get a sunburn, especially a very red, painful, blistered or extensive sunburn, take action right away! Your Remedy’sRx pharmacist is happy to help you select appropriate sun & skin care products. You can also make an appointment to go over routine and special summer considerations such as sun reactions, dehydration effects of medications, travel supplies & time zone adjustments.

Q: A:

What is our deepest fear? One of my favourite quotes from Marianne Williamson, answers this beautifully:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Obituaries

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Edgerton Mohr on Thursday June 11, 2015. After a brief but heroic battle with lung cancer, Bob went peacefully with his four children and his brother, Charlie, by his side. Bob handled his illness the same way he handled his life with determination, humility and the attitude: “It is what it is, now let’s get it done”. Bob was born on May 26, 1943 in Calgary, Alberta to Murray and Mickey Mohr. He was the youngest of three boys and he and his brothers, Charlie and John, were known in the neighborhood for their mischievous antics. Bob developed a love of cars and bought his �irst one, a 1931 Chrysler Imperial, at the age of 14. He went on to build hot rods, stock cars, drag race cars and inboard boats with his buddies. He was an avid stock car racer and raced in Calgary, Nanton, Lethbridge and Rosebud where he had his fair share of wins and endless fun.

Bob turned his love for cars and mechanics into a profession and started an automotive apprenticeship at a Volkswagen garage. He attended SAIT and became certi�ied in 1965 as a Red Seal Motor Vehicle Mechanic. This led to his job at Pioneer Machinery in Calgary where he was introduced to the world of aggregate equipment. He advanced very quickly and went on to travel as a sales representative for Agg Mac. Customers marveled at his uncanny knack for the industry and would tease him that the company should be called Mohr Mac instead of Agg Mac. He took that feedback to heart and in 19�0, he of�icially opened the

Honour your loved ones with

doors of Mormak Equipment Ltd. in Vernon, BC. Mormak developed an international reputation as an industry leader and grew to include a branch in Calgary, Alberta and Chilliwack, BC. Although Bob sold his company in 2013, he remained on as CEO and was still working up until one month ago. When people would ask when he was going to retire, Bob would reply with a glint in his eye, “I’ll retire when it stops being fun … right now, I’m still havin’ fun.”

Bob was a man of many passions, which included ranching, snowmobiling, attending rodeos, embarking on motorcycle road trips and, most importantly, spending treasured time with family and friends. He was extremely proud of each of his children, Nicole (Lee), Brandice (Rob), Michael (Melanie), Kalvin (Oksana), and always made time for them despite his heavy business responsibilities. Bob also loved each of his grandchildren beyond measure. Liviah, Rowan, Clay and Parker were very fortunate to have had him as their grandpa even for this short amount of time. His inquisitive, mischievous and loving spirit will forever live on in them. An outdoor celebration of life will be held at 1pm on Monday, June 22, 2015 at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch. Bob requested that this gathering be held after the tears have dried but there will always be a tear in our eye for the loss of this great man. We will seek comfort in one of Bob’s favourite quotes: “Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” In lieu of �lowers, memorial donations can be made in Bob’s name to the BC Cancer Foundation or the 4-H British Columbia Foundation. Condolences may be offered to the family at armstrong@myalternatives.ca

Margaret “Ruth” Royal Ruth passed away peacefully at Hospice House in Vernon, BC on June 11th, 2015 at the age of 95 years. She was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on November 7th, 1919, daughter of Osborne and Edna Johnston. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, William (Bill) George Royal in 1991. Ruth will be sadly missed by her three children and their families: Ken (Gerilyn) Royal of Burnaby, Ron Royal of Abbotsford and her daughter Margaret Robert of Vernon. Ruth’s grandchildren: Shelly, Donny, Andrew, Johnathan, Adrianna, Keanna, Nicholas, Danielle, Jennifer, Brandon, Jordan, Danny and 13 great-grandchildren. Ruth loved to play bridge and over many years of playing she made lots of lifetime friendships in Burnaby, Kelowna and in Vernon at Canterbury Court. Ruth always said, “if you know how to play bridge you could live anywhere and make friends”. Ruth also had a passion for travel and over her last 2 years travelled by vehicle to Palm Desert to spend time with her family. She loved to swim and just last summer was in Okanagan Lake with her greatgrandchildren. Special places for Ruth included “The Glen at Maple Falls” where she spent many summers at her trailer. The cabin at Gun Lake where her and Bill used to spend hours fishing for lake trout. The cabin on Okanagan Lake where Mom loved to sit and relax on her patio swing and look out at the lake. A service celebrating her life will be held at Canterbury Court in Vernon on July 10 at 2:00 pm. The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at the Vernon Hospice House and Dr. Gavin Smart for their amazing care and support of our mother in her final days. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Ruth can be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society.
