Pellet plant putting people to work JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Lavington’s workforce is growing. With the Lavington pellet plant currently under construction, approximately 25 jobs are up for grabs in the community. It’s not the 300 jobs that were lost in 2008 with the closure of the glass plant, but it is work nonetheless. “We’ve had a really good response, there’s lots of people looking for work in the area,” said Leroy Reitsma, president of Pinnacle Renewable Energy, which has partnered with Tolko to build the plant next to the existing planer mill off School Road. “We have lots of people wanting to come to work.” Construction of the plant is progressing as planned and is expected to be up and running in the fall. “We are hiring now,” said Reitsma. “We are trying to get our people in place in time so that we can get

the training that we need to do done, to have a successful startup.” Positions range from rail car loaders and clean up individuals to plant operators, millwrights and electricians. Since the plant uses technology based on operating systems out of Europe, a drying technician has been brought in for site-specific training. “We’ve got technical people from the supplier available to do that training,” said Leroy. Despite air quality concerns from a number of Lavington residents, he is confident that the community will be pleased with the outcome. “When people see that the dust related to traffic and open storage of fibre is reduced I think people will be pleasantly surprised.” Applications are currently still being accepted for positions at the plant. Those interested can e-mail their resume to HR@pinnaclepellet.com

City of Vernon defends increase in salaries RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Payroll has spiked at Vernon city hall. The latest financial report shows that total remuneration and expenses for all employees in 2014 was $21,735,46 while it was $21,215,695 during 2013. “There’s always a concern about costs but I didn’t see anything that caught my eye,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “Half-a-million dollars is a lot of money but it’s about two per cent (increase). It’s a little bit more than the cost of living.” Akbal Mund, who has been mayor since November, believes staff wages are justified. “For the amount of work they do, it’s warranted. They are running a major corporation and that requires people,” he said. The number of employees earning more than $75,000 went from 84 in 2013 to 92 last year. Topping the list was Will Pearce, chief administrative officer, with a salary of

$181,561 and expenses of $6,629. Others include Keith Green, fire chief, with a salary of $133,271 and expenses of $5,145, and financial services manager Kevin Bertles with remuneration of $125,614 and expenses of $6,7773. The 2014 financial report also highlights compensation for elected officials. Former mayor Rob Sawatzky had a salary of $63,126 and expenses of $4,467. Bob Spiers “We in the public would all benefit from a more generous remuneration so that highly qualified people in the private sector wouldn’t have to take a pay cut to do the job,” said Sawatzky. “There are no benefits or pension so the pool of folks who can consider the position

is pretty select.” For those councillors who served full terms in 2014, Juliette Cunningham had a salary of $23,443 and $2,501 in expenses, while it was a wage of $22,340 and expenses of $1,055 for Catherine Lord. Cunningham says her expenses are related to attending conferences and does not cover her time. “If you’re going to make good decisions, you need to be informed. It’s not a holiday. While you are there, you are working hard,” she said. Brian Quiring’s remuneration was $22,061 and $65 in expenses while Bob Spiers was paid $22,061 and claimed no expenses. Former councillor Mary-Jo O’Keefe had a wage of $20,923 and $643 in expenses and Patrick Nicol, who died in January 2014, had remuneration of $1,050 and no expenses. Three individuals were elected to council in 2014 and Mund received a salary of

$5,260 and had expenses of $40 as mayor. Scott Anderson’s compensation was $2,100 and no expenses while Dalvir Nahal had a salary of $1,697 and no expenses.

Water woes bubble over RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

A war of words is boiling close to the surface over the future of Greater Vernon water. The Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan have issued a press release criticizing the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee’s handling of the master water plan while GVAC officials are firing back. “I disagree with almost everything they said,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. In its release, Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Terry Mooney Plan asks GVAC to make changes to the recently hammered out terms of reference for a water plan review. “The review is not the fresh new look requested by Citizens for Change and demanded by the referendum defeat last fall,” said Terry Mooney, CCMWP chairperson. “The review proposed by GVAC has serious flaws in the composition of the participants, and in the terms of reference for the Stakeholders Advisory Committee. In short, the domestic water customer who is most affected by the current high water costs are underrepresented, people with relevant exper-

tise and experience are precluded from participating and the process will be managed by RDNO staff who have clearly indicated their preference for the status quo.” Mooney says the current scope of the review will not unbiased or balanced. “Come on folks, we can do better than this. A petition calling for the inclusion of an independent consultant is circulating throughout the Greater Vernon community.” However, Cunningham insists GVAC elected officials and staff are open-minded and no final decisions about the water plan have been made. “We are not precluding anything. We are developing a process where we will take our time and there will be an opportunity for the public to give us input,” she said. “We won’t complete the process until we believe everyone has had an opportunity to have their voices heard. Those of us at GVAC were elected to represent the community. This is not being led by staff.” And while the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan accuses GVAC of having a predetermined course of action, Cunningham believes the same could be said of the CCMWP. “It appears that some members of the community have made up their minds on what the plan should be. As chairperson, I have not made up my mind.”

Foerster appeals conviction Morning Star Staff

The man found guilty of murdering an Armstrong teenager in 2011 will have an appeal of his conviction heard in 2016. Matthew Foerster’s appeal will be heard in June of next year. Foerster, 29, from Cherryville, was convicted of first-degree murder in April 2014 in Kelowna in connection with the death of Taylor Van Diest,

who was brutally beaten near railways tracks in Armstrong on Halloween night 2011. Van Diest, 18, died from her injuries the next day in Kelowna General Hospital. Foerster’s lawyer alleges the judge made mistakes in his jury instructions around intoxication and on the attempted sexual assault as an element of first-degree murder. Foerster was sentenced to 25 years in prison without parole.

Cosens Bay water monitoring continues RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Further studying will proceed on water quality for a small community on Kalamalka Lake. The Regional District of North Okanagan will spend $10,023 on a second year of water quality

monitoring at Cosens Bay. “They (consultants) will compare the information at all of the sites (on the lake) so we can tell what Cosens Bay water is like compared to water in Lake Country and Greater Vernon,” said director Bob Fleming.

Cosens Bay consists of about 100 lots, which are served by septic fields. Earlier this year, Larratt Aquatic Consulting released the results from the first phase of water quality monitoring at Cosens Bay. The study showed

only a small elevated level of phosphorus. Gardom Creek flooding reviewed The goal of a new project is to minimize the potential of flooding in rural Enderby. The Regional District of North Okanagan will spend up to $40,000 on a

A great big THANK YOU I just want to personally thank each and every one who has helped support me through this ongoing difficult journey that I am forced to face. The kindness and generosity of the community has been truly amazing and overwhelming. All of the love and support along with kind and encouraging words have made a huge difference for my family and me to cope and move forward. There are so many people, businesses and organizations that I want to thank - it feels like Thank You is not enough. But the truth is, I am extremely grateful for everyone’s efforts. The many cards, emails, flowers, donations, time and concern shown to my family and me are unbelievable. So from me, and on their behalf, a very heartfelt Thank You to all.

baseline assessment of Gardom Creek. “I’m glad it’s moving ahead,” said director Herman Halvorson. Flooding in late winter and early spring along Gardom Creek can create challenges for adjacent properties. “The remediation plan will take a collective approach and engage land owners in a process that includes education with respect to the fact that creeks do flood at times and

promotes stewardship and greater understanding so that least human made impacts can be improved,” said Anna Page, sustainability co-ordinator. Agriculture promotion funded The regional district is doing its part to make residents more aware of the benefits of agriculture. RDNO will provide a grant to the Kamloops Okanagan Dairyman Association,

which is hosting a Breakfast on the Farm event. “It’s the first time we’ve done this,” said director Mike Macnabb of the RDNO sponsorship. “Part of it is to engage the public about where their food comes from.” The event will take place July 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Riverbreeze Farms on Larkin Cross Road in Spallumcheen.

Citizen of Year named Morning Star Staff

Many people may know him to see him, but many may not be truly aware of who he is or what he does to make his community a better place to live. They will now. John Hoile has been named Armstrong Spallumcheen Citizen of Year 2015. “John is a tireless volunteer and an all-around generous man,” said one of many nomination forms for Hoile. “He has been the lead coordinator for the Armstrong Brown Bag John Hoile Lunch program for a good number of years now. He is seen at many local events always with a volunteer shirt or helping out in an informal capacity. I wish I had all the details for all that he does.” Since moving to Armstrong from England, Hoile has assisted with the Community Christmas Dinner, volunteers at the IPE, has volunteered with the food bank, volunteered at Harvest Pumpkin Festival and gener-

ally helps wherever there is a need. Hoile truly is an unsung hero which is one of the criteria for the Citizen of the Year program. “What is remarkable about John is that he volunteers without complaining and rarely asks for assistance,” said another of the nomination forms. “He does not drive nor own a vehicle so can be found carrying groceries for the Brown Bag Lunch program back to the kitchen,. “He is very humble and often more concerned about the inconvenience to others than getting relief from carrying heavy bags. Armstrong is blessed to have John as part of our community.” Hoile will be honoured by past Citizens of the Year on Wednesday at a special tea at 2 p.m. hosted by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. He will receive official recognition as Citizen of the Year 2015 during Canada Day celebrations held in Memorial Park July 1.

Some of the region’s most vulnerable citizens now have a onestop shop to accessing support in their daily struggles. Those at risk of becoming homeless, victims of violence and brain injury patients can now get a helping hand at the North Okanagan Centre for Community Collaboration. The centre brings eight different programs from three different agencies under one roof, to better serve those most in need. The John Howard Society, Vernon Women’s Transition House Society and BrainTrust Canada officially opened the new centre Thursday, which is located in the Creekside Professional Building (behind the Blue Moon Esso). “It’s so emotional,” said a teary Phyllis Simon, president of the John Howard Society board. “It’s really amazing.” Finding a place for these agencies to collaborate under one roof was only made possible by the generosity of local business owners Mike and Beverly Davies. “The fact that we are here today is a testament to the goodwill of a man and his wife who can’t be here today,” said Barbara Levesque, John Howard Society executive director. “They donated it to the community.” The space, valued at $565,000, was then spruced up thanks to the local tradesmen and labourers who donated much of their time and skill to help renovate.

The Centre for Community Collaboration is officially opened with a special ribbon cutting Thursday by Monica Martin, Vernon Women’s Transition House Society, Vrnon Coun. Juliette Cunningham, Marcie McLeod, BrianTrust Canada, and Phyllis Simon, president of the John Howard Society. as some of the city’s facilities, Vernon Coun. Juliette Cunningham says this centre is more valuable. “I think it’s going to be a huge boost for the work that is done by so many agencies in this community,” said Vernon Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Monica Martin, with the Women’s Transition House, agrees that having a centre like this, which looks after those most in need, is a huge asset. “It says so much about our community.” For someone who is struggling to pay their rent and is going to be evicted, the centre offers services such as a homeless prevention program or legal advocate, to fight on their behalf. And being downtown, those in need don’t have to go far to access the services. “I just love that we

get to collaborate with other agencies,” said Martin, noting that it adds to the collaboration which already takes place and is proving to be effective. “That’s how you do good work.” The following programs operate out of the new centre: n Homeless Prevention Program (John Howard Society) serving individuals and families at high risk of becoming homeless n Homeless Prevention Program (Vernon Women’s Transition House Society) supporting women and/or their dependant children who have experienced violence and are at risk of homelessness n Homeless Outreach Program (John Howard Society) working with individuals and families who are currently homeless to assist them in finding

affordable housing n Legal Advocate Program (Vernon Women’s Transition House Society) providing information, referrals and representation to those with lowincome n Legal Services Society Outreach (Vernon Women’s Transition House Society) improving access to legal aid services for those with low income n WorkBC (John Howard Society) assisting persons with “multiple barriers to employment” to access job skills training and find employment n Braintrust (BrainTrust Canada) providing communitybased support and rehabilitation services to those with brain injury n John Howard Society of the North Okanagan/Kootenay Region Administration offices

Back on the job

he passing of time has always left me perplexed and gasping for air, as in what just happened here and was I actually along for the ride or what? And I’m not talking about the fact that it seemed like my kids were toddlers yesterday and now, well, they’re toddling off in all directions and I’m lucky if I know where they’re going. And am I allowed to ask or am I invading their personal space? Or if I don’t does it look like I don’t care? I try to strike a balance and if I overstep my reach a little I try to justify it with, well they may be almost 19 and 21 but they’re still under my roof so I have some parental Glenn Mitchell rights, without getting too self-righteous about it of course. Anyway part of this soul-searching exercise is brought on by still getting used to being 55 years old and apparently being among the senior set of the population, although I haven’t bought a souped-up convertible sports car yet, but then again with my bald spot and its tendency to burn it’s probably not a good idea anyway. I know I can wear a hat at all times but that takes away from the freedom of hair flowing through your hair and the young look one’s trying to achieve (although I still remember a birthday card greeting from my 40th that read “I picture you standing on a mountain with the wind blowing through your hair........(and inside it read).....and you too proud to go chase after it”.......(funny stuff and a lesson on trying to look too young, ha). No, but what really sparked this musings on the passing of time is I just returned from two weeks vacation, which at first glance seems like a long time off and, by most accounts it’s substantial and I’m grateful, but it went by in a nanosecond. I even had a list and everything to make sure

I got some things accomplished, and I did some things, but still here I am and wondering what just happened (although honestly I spend much of my life doing just that, it’s almost become a style of sorts, and maybe that’s why I’m in the newspaper business so at least I can keep on top of things and look back at what happened by checking the pages of back issues). And it’s not like I didn’t enjoy the time off. I started it off by hitching a ride with some real seniors (OK, they happen to be my parents as well) to Calgary via the Kootenays. Now normally you wouldn’t go that way because it takes longer of course, but that’s the beauty of being a senior you don’t have to take the direct route cause you don’t have to hurry to get back to work (ironically it’s almost like time is on your side, sort of, again ironically). And, hey I’d never been to Cranbrook or Lethbridge for that matter and I always enjoy Kaslo and Nelson so I signed up to be the driver and escort and enjoyed an opportunity to reconnect with my folks and talk about olden days when travelling across country meant with four young boys in tow, and all that entailed, yikes. This was much more relaxing, including a Scrabble game in the hotel room in Nelson in which I let the old man win (well, he was paying for the room), a nice engaging dinner at an Italian restaurant in Lethbridge, and an inspiring visit with a cousin in Calgary who battles MS with a smile on her face every day. A trip back on the Greyhound was also enlightening, cause they were heading out for another four or five days and I had chores to do back home, and a perfect opportunity to catch up on reading on a rainy day. I also did manage to get a few chores done that second week, not to mention golfed Predator with my boys one wonderful day (an early Father’s Day present), but did it have to go by so darn fast? Luckily I have another two weeks in July, so I’ll be fine. Not that you were worried about me, I’m sure.

Yes today is Father’s Day and it’s a time to recognize all of those dads out there. But there is also another significant milestone today and that is National Aboriginal Day. First marked in 1996, it is, according to a federal website, “a special day to celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples in Canada.” And that is certainly the case here in our region as both the Okanagan and Shuswap nations have rich cultures that go back thousands of years. From them, we embrace place names for our geographical features and communities, while their knowledge of the environment around us is vast. But more importantly, they are our neighbours — we work side by side, go to school together or, in some cases, share family roots. And the links are strengthening as Vernon’s future is partially tied to potential industrial land through the Okanagan Indian Band, while the Splatsin and adjacent jurisdictions pursue a rail corridor for long-term economic benefits. It should also be pointed out that members of various nations from across Canada also live here and add to its diversity. Beyond all of this, Aboriginal Day is also a time for broader society to reflect on the past wrongs inflicted on our First Peoples and to recognize the vast challenges that still exist, including poverty, education and violence. Today is a day for all of us, no matter our ancestry, to reflect on our community and the cultures and individuals who call it home. We need to find a way to bring ourselves closer together so everyone can achieve their ultimate dreams. Happy Aboriginal Day.

MLA responds to laundry issue

nterior Health's laundry service facilities are aging and will require significant investment to bring them upto-date in the coming years. Health authorities only have so much money for capital projects, and need to focus their dollars as much as possible on direct patient care, such as for new medical equipment, upgrades to aging health facilities and new patient care beds and spaces. In November, Interior Health began exploring options for best delivering this service under these circumstances, including going to the private sector to see what companies have to offer. We know that a number of people will be affected by this process. The health authority spent 90 days consulting with the union to determine if they could develop an alternative and affordable solution. The parties could not find a sustainable solution, so Interior Health is now moving forward with the next step of this process, seeking a request for solutions from the marketplace. A request for solutions provides the health authority with flexibility to implement the best solution for the each

COLD SHOULDER I am now a patient of the dialysis unit, three days a week for approximately fourand-a-half hours each day. The staff at this unit are wonderful, they are so caring and attentive and professional and they work so well together as a team. While you are somewhat stressed with having to have dialysis, they certainly try to make your runs as pleasant as possible. However, not pleasant is the extreme cold in the unit. The patients all have to wear jackets and have blankets over them, and some are electric ones. Apparently there is something wrong with some sensors on the building and the air conditioner kicks in with very cold air. Even when the temperature outside is 30 degrees, we still need blankets and jackets on. People suffering kidney function problems are more susceptible to cold and as we are sitting and not moving for over four hours, we feel it even more. When I get home, I have to wear a jacket for awhile to warm up as I am chilled to the bone. The staff also feel the cold and are always putting sweaters on. No doubt their employment contracts call for pleasant-working conditions. I travel to and from dialysis by cab and most of the drivers speak of the cold in there so it is obvious other patients have complained to them as well. Apparently, Interior Health rents the

community. In some cases, this may mean services remain in-house. A decision on a contract or contracts is expected later this summer. The earliest a transition of laundry services would take place would be spring 2016. Interior Health will work with staff and the union through any changes. The $10 million that Interior Health would need to put towards upgrading laundry facilities will now be able to directly benefit patient care. It is also important to note that the investments that we are making in health care in these communities, such as the $80 million clinical services building in Kamloops and the $381 million Interior Heart and Surgical Centre at Kelowna, will create far more jobs than will be affected by any changes to laundry services. Laundry services have already been successfully contracted out by Lower Mainland and Island health authorities, allowing any money saved to go to enhancing direct patient care.

Perhaps if they moved the unit, surely there are options but there are no options for us dialysis patients. Beryl Nerling DRAWING NETWORK If you have children, you are probably interested in literacy and how it is best taught at home and school. Did you know that spontaneous drawing is a second ‘language’ that children find easy to use because it doesn’t require a code? Moreover, research tells us that it significantly aids literacy. It begins with an exploratory scribble in the second year and soon develops into symbolic representations, e.g. circle with ‘happy face’ for humans. It evolves further into a complex vehicle for sustained story telling with a symbol for everything that matters to the story. Literacy comes into it when themes are discussed by the child artist and caregiver, we assume that as the child draws, a silent monologue of sentence fragments accompanies the flow of the drawing, key words are added adjacent to the image or as a caption or full-blown text and verbal fluency is further enhanced by post-drawing conversations with the caregiver. Children love to explain their drawings which are typically more complex than would be possible with coded words.

Please note that giving children how-todraw techniques is counter productive. The child must be encouraged to invent his or her own language of pictorial symbols. By the way, you do not have to be someone who draws nor do you have to be a teacher. The role for parents and teachers is to inspire and motivate and schedule regular opportunities. Children on their own have no idea of the range of themes and topics they are capable of illustrating. Without motivation they will give up and turn to television or texting friends. A thematic guideline may help: the care giver can visit and revisit themes related to using perception to draw something visible - children respond to things they can see including still life subjects, humans, toys, views of interiors, views out windows, illustrating emotions and feeling, e.g. stories, situations, poems, songs with an affective content, intellectual content - problems to solve, ideas to illustrate prompted by the pros and cons of issues and based on memory of past events or events staged for brief study and then removed. This current project of spreading information is sponsored by the Drawing Network, an informal community of parents, teachers, academics and concerned citizens devoted to “spreading the word” about a largely overlooked language resource. There is no formal structure, no AGM, no fees or responsibilities, simply a desire to add spontaneous drawing to the home/

school curriculum. We welcome correspondence and offer free help to parents and teachers who encounter problems in setting up drawing programs at home or school. Get in touch with us through e-mail. Bob Steele, Associate Professor (Emeritus) UBC for the Drawing Network

“District of Coldstream Tax Revitalization Bylaw No. 1614, 2012, Amendment Bylaw No. 1645, 2013 Amendment No. 1” In accordance with Section 227 of the Community Charter, the District of Coldstream’s Council will give consideration to amend Schedule C of Tax Revitalization Exemption Bylaw No. 1614, 2012 at their June 22, 2015 Council Meeting. The Revitalization Area being adjusted is shown in the map below. CURRENT:

PROPOSED:

The details of the bylaw are as follows: 1. The reasons for the amendment is to include 7.1 acres of that portion of Lot 2, Sections 23 & 24, TP 6, ODYD, Plan 18721 (Except Plans H18529 & KAP83143) as shown in bold and solid outline on the map below, “Reference Plan of part of Lot 2, Plan 18721, Sec 23 and 24, Tp. 6, ODYD except plans H18529 and KAP83143”.

North Okanagan lakes are playing a critical role in a university study focused on water quality. Researchers at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus are working with local ranchers and stakeholders to determine the best way to protect drinking water on cattle grazing lands. “We have a lot of community outreach built into this project and people are concerned about drinking water,” said Deborah Roberts, Engineering Professor and microbiologist. “At the same time, while there are best management practices in place — like fencing around a body of water to keep cattle out — water is still becoming contaminated.” Weekly water samples from Oyama Lake watershed, Vernon Creek, the Duteau Creek water system, and King Edward Lake watershed have been collected over the last two summers by the team of four undergraduate and two graduate students. The current focus is on the Duteau Creek watershed. The goal is to minimize the health risk for people while balancing mixed uses and recreation in the watershed. Funding for the $150,000 three-year study has come from the Investment Agriculture Foundation, the Ministry of Forests, and the Regional District of North Okanagan. Other stakeholders include Interior Health Authority, the BC Cattlemen’s Association, and local municipalities. Researchers are checking turbidity and levels of pathogens such as cryptosporidium and e.coli. How long pathogens survive in manure, whether rain and meltwater wash them into drinking water sources and the effects of natural contaminants such as leaves, pine needles, and bugs are all being investigated. As well as testing for water-borne illnesses, the students are taking DNA samples to determine whether pathogens found in the water are from cattle or wildlife.

2. The reasons for and objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption program are to encourage the construction of new buildings and improvements of existing buildings creating economic activity for the community and its residents. 3. The Revitalization Tax Exemption program is intended to accomplish these objectives by providing tax relief to property owners who undertake eligible projects within a Revitalization Area. As well, reductions in development cost charges and building fee permits for eligible LEED Certified projects may be available. 4. A property owner must enter into a Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreement with the District of Coldstream that will establish the terms and conditions for eligibility for a specific property. The kinds of property that will be eligible for tax exemptions under the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program are as follows:

a) Construction of New Buildings Properties that are the subject of a building permit having a value, as determined by the District of Coldstream Building Official, of $200,000 or greater. New construction must conform to the land use designations and development permit guidelines of the District of Coldstream. b) Additions/Renovations to Existing Buildings Properties that are the subject of a building permit having a value, as determined by the District of Coldstream Building Official, of $50,000 or greater. New construction must conform to the land use designations and development permit guidelines of the District of Coldstream and add additional commercial or industrial space and/or an additional dwelling unit to an existing building.

4. The maximum revitalization tax exemption under this bylaw must not exceed the increase in the assessed value of land and improvements on the property between the year before the construction or alteration began (base year) and the year in which the revitalization tax exemption certificate under this bylaw is issued. 5. The amount of the tax exemption that may be provided under this bylaw in any year is calculated as follows: • Years 1-6:

100% of the increased assessed value

• Year 7:

80% of the increased assessed value

• Year 8:

60% of the increased assessed value

• Year 9:

40% of the increased assessed value

• Year 10:

20% of the increased assessed value

6. The maximum term of a tax exemption under this bylaw is 10 years. For more information on the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program, please visit the District of Coldstream website at www.coldstream.ca , or contact Patricia (Pat) Higgins by email at treasurer@coldstream.ca or by phone at 250-545-5304.

Second Rouault suiting up for TRU TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Thompson Rivers University might have to change its name to The Rouault University since Vernon’s Michael Rouault has committed to play for the WolfPack men’s basketball team for the 201516 season. Michael’s older brother, Brett, just graduated from the hoops program last winter. “I’m just relieved that I found a place to play and it’s a program I am familiar with,” said Michael. It wasn’t a smooth ride from the Fulton Secondary Maroons to TRU for Rouault. He held out from TRU last summer for multiple reasons and tried to walk-on with the UBCO Heat, but was cut. “It was pretty disappointing, I thought I was good enough to play for them (UBCO), but I guess not,” said Rouault. “It’s okay though, it looks like everything is going to work out.” Dale Olson coached both Rouaults and had Michael during his Grade 11 and 12 years with the Maroons. “We were surprised he didn’t get a lot of offers last year; he had a great year,” said Olson. Rouault, 18, was a beast in the paint and in the classroom in Grade 12. He averaged 25.1 points per game, 14 rebounds and eight assists while carrying a sparkling 4.0 GPA. Rouault was named the Most Outstanding Men’s Basketball Player at the Rotary High School Athletic Awards. “He needed to work on some things this year and I think his game is right where it needs to be heading into college,” said Olson. “Mike did everything for us, he played one through five, he rebounded well and took the ball to the basket well. He’s long and lanky, he is 6-foot-5 but is 6-foot-8 length-wise. “I think he’s going to have an awesome college career.” Living at home this past year, Rouault took general sciences at UBCO and scrimmaged with the junior Heat team to stay in game shape.

TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR

Michael Rouault soars for a tomahawk jam on the outdoor courts at Fulton. The former Maroons basketball standout has secured a spot on the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack roster in Kamloops, following in older brother Brett’s footsteps. A year later, he is taller, stronger and is accustomed to the university life and is ready for the bright lights of the Tournament Capital Centre. About a month ago, Brett told

Michael to get in contact with TRU’s head coach Scott Clark about the possibility of playing for the WolfPack next season. After a few e-mails, Michael was invited for a tryout. After a couple scrim-

mages and workouts, the two sides came to an agreement for next season. “I was really excited when I found out I would be going to TRU,” said Rouault. “I missed play-

ing basketball this year.” Michael, along with his parents and brother and sister have been travelling to Kamloops on the weekends to watch Brett play for years. “I think Mike is quite similar to Brett. He is a very intelligent kid, a good student and a very polite young man,” said Clark. “Mike has the chance of being even a bit better basketball player when it is all said and done. If he does what he is supposed to do and works hard, he will have a good career.” The 6-foot-5, 205-pounder is a mismatch for defenders. Playing as either a shooting guard or small forward, Rouault can take it to the rack with a spin move finishing with a left-handed finger roll, or crosses up defenders, creating space for his knock-down jumper. Off the court, Rouault will study sciences with plans to major in biology. “It looks like a good place to be. I know a few of the guys on the team from playing with them at Funtastic last year and from scrimmages and just from watching them the past couple of years,” said Rouault. The WolfPack just finished their best season in school history. They made the playoffs for the first time and swept the University of Winnipeg Wesmen in the opening round of CIS West playoffs. Michael is looking forward to stepping into Brett’s shadow. Brett was on fire against the Saskatchewan Huskies, scoring a playoff-career high 33 points, knocking down seven three-balls, but the ‘Pack was eliminated in Game 3 of the quarter finals. “It would have been nice to play with him, he had a great year and the team was strong,” said Michael. “I’m hoping we pick up right where he (Brett) left them.” In Rouault’s spare time he likes to watch TV, shoot hoops, cheer on LeBron James, workout and eat. The WolfPack open their exhibition season against the NAIT Ooks Tuesday, Oct. 8 at the TRU Old Gym.

Vernon’s Tylee Cooper, aboard her horse Daisy, competes in barrel racing at the B.C. High School Rodeo Finals at Rayleigh, near Kamloops.

Cowgirls qualify for national finals Morning Star Staff

Vernon Secondary School’s Tylee Cooper and Armstrong Pleasant Valley Secondary’s Alysha Pastor earned trips to the National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyo. with their results at the recent B.C. High School championships in Rayleigh, near Kamloops. The top four finishers in each event qualify for Wyoming, and the top six qualify to compete in the Canadian High School Finals Rodeos in Nanton, Alta. Both events are in July. Cooper won the ladies goat tying event with a combined time of 28.4 seconds on three head (three performances), and finished second in pole bending with a three-run time of 66.679 seconds.

She was 17th overall in ladies barrel racing. Pastor, the 2014 B.C. High School Rodeo Queen, was third overall in B.C. in pole bending with a combined time of 71.416 seconds which included knocking down a pole during one of her three runs. Pastor was 12th overall in the barrels. Jasmine Keller of Kalamalka Secondary also earned a spot in the provincial finals based on her performances during the high school season. Keller was 13th in the barrels with a combined time of 58.944 seconds on three runs. She finished 17th in breakaway roping, recording two no-times and a sizzling 4.9 seconds in her only qualifying run.

Sir Winston’s second-half attack results in draw Morning Star Staff

It’s been said, by those in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 know, that Sir Winston’s Attack is a second-half team. And that certainly looked to be true Thursday night. After the Green Rockets secured a quick goal and threatened to dominate the game, the purple squad stepped it up and fought back to earn a 1-1 draw at Marshall Field. Natalie Lussin and Celine Conly played solid games in the Sir Winston’s midfield, consistently feeding balls through to hard-working forwards Brandi Wejr and Shelby Fisher. True to form, both Wejr and Fisher had multiple chances on net, but the Rocket’s keeper played an exceptional game and shut them out. It was Laurie Chickloski who finally broke through and secured a lovely goal for the purple team. Although purple goalie Azra Cawley gave her a run for her money – it was Sam Orr who decidedly came out on top as player of the game. Orr played a brilliant game in midfield, battling hard

for the ball, making great passes and fearlessly carrying the ball up the field to have some great chances on goal. OTC/Sunterra Sistas blanked the Fantastic Four squad 3-0 at Marshall Field. About 20 minutes into the first half, on a corner kick for the Sistas, Diane Neudorf touched a short pass to Andrea Zubot who turned and cranked a lefty high over the very talented Fantastic keeper Taylor Weixl, who did get her hands on it, but the ball proceeded to continue to top shelf. In the second half, Neudorf made up for several foiled rushes with a beauty turn and hard low shot to right corner after receiving a fine pass from Carmen Kinniburgh. In the dying minutes Jennie Currie ran like the Bionic Woman down the sideline and dumped it to the ever-ready Miranda Dalhuisen who took a shot from 20 yards out, too hot for keeper Kris Ponto’s hands, finding its way over the line with 15 seconds left. Wendy Nadeau earned the shutout. Crystal Flasch and Michelle Mulholland were two girls on fire on defence, not

letting much past them and working well with Cara Van Tol, and Tania Wirachowsky to keep the ball to the outside, occasionally using Nadeau as an outlet to relieve Fantastic offensive pressure. Becky Birbilis worked hard running up the centre looking for goal, taking several tries and creating some excellent offensive chances. Soul Sista award goes to Dalhuisen who played with heart and soul and seeming to have the ball velcroed to her foot, stripping it whenever in her vicinity, and basically deking and dodging her way around the field all night. On the Fantastic ledger, besides the great play of keepers Weixl and Ponto, Karinda McGraw battled hard in the middle. Jessica MacNeil fought and rushed the offensive forward rush so many times but just couldn’t score. Elise Buller ran her heart out up front after so many long passes from the keepers. F-Squared played with just one sub and gave props to the great work of coach Stu Whitling, helping them improve.

Beck buries winner Morning Star Staff

Stretch winning streak to seven games. Score the winning goal. Beat the only team you’ve lost to all season. Not a bad birthday for Jason Beck. The Kal Tire FC midfielder cut to the net after a Kelowna Enco/ Executive Flooring Turnover created by teammate Jesse Knight, took a touch from Knight and blasted a low hard shot past the Kelowna keeper late in the match to give Kal Tire a 2-1 victory in

Kelowna Men’s Soccer League Over 35 action at Mission Sports Field Thursday. The win avenged a 2-1 defeat to Enco (5-6) in week four, the only blemish on the tiremen’s table. Beck’s winner came moments after league leading scorer Nico Boesten got his head on a cross to score his 12th of the season and tie the game 1-1 with 10 minutes remaining. Knight is one goal back of Boesten for the league scoring title.

League-leading Kal Tire (10-1) opened the scoring 20 minutes into the match when Knight was taken down and Vernon was awarded a free kick. Ryan Sharp stepped up to hit a nice shot for goal while the Enco defence was scrambling for position. Kal Tire FC will play Penticton Pinnacles in their next match Thursday at Kelowna’s City Park.

Vernon Kal Tire improved to 6-1-2 with a 2-0 win over Kelowna Brandt’s Creek Thursday at Mission Sports Field. Denis Chabot opened the scoring in the first half on a penalty kick after he was taken down inside the 18-yard box. It was Chabot’s seventh goal of the year. Birthday boy Terry Lowe added the insurance marker and earned the Budweiser Man of the Match for his 25-yard left-footed rocket that deflected off a Brandt’s Creek (4-5-1) defender past the keeper. Pete (The Heat) Richter played well in the Kal Tire goal to earn the clean sheet.

Friesens celebrate 60 years Bill and Clare Friesen are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this year. Their families arrived in Mission in the late ‘30s from different parts of Saskatchewan. They grew up together, attending the same church and school. After high school, they began dating and got married June 26, 1955. Bill and Clare both worked in retail stores. After six months, the transfers began, which included Chilliwack, New Westminster, Maple Ridge, Prince George, Hamburg, Germany; Vancouver and Vernon. During this time, their four children were born. Clare was a stayat-home mom and the children knew Mom

Gleaners help around the globe

ast week I visited the Gleaners plant in Lavington and was blown away by the scope of their operations. Did you know that more than five million meals each year are processed and shipped from the Gleaners to countries such as Bosnia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Ghana, Haiti, Jordan, Mexico, Moldova, North Korea, Tanzania, Ukraine, Zambia, Zimbabwe and others? Five Pat Black million food servings, coming from our home here in Greater Vernon and ending up going around the world to feed millions of people! I find that remarkable. Quietly and humbly, dozens of volunteers are saving many, many lives and most of us who live here don’t even know it. The North Okanagan Valley Gleaners Society (“The Gleaners”) is a group of volunteers who take the opportunity to turn surplus food crops into nutritious meals for a hungry world. Additionally, they collect donated medical equipment and distribute it to institutions in many countries. Distribution is done by reputable and established Christian aid organizations who have partnered with them to make sure that the food and equipment is

PERSONAL BEST

reaching people who need it the most. To produce this amount of food servings in 2014, more than 750,000 pounds of vegetables and fruits came into the plant and was used, with about one third coming from local growers and the rest donated by growers and others from Kelowna, Kamloops and further afield. Along with the soup mix, apple snacks are also being widely distributed, thanks to BC Tree Fruits Cooperative in Winfield. Many local growers and producers are also regular donators to the cause and make up the community circle. The food that is shipped is in the form of a bag of dehydrated soup mix that can be mixed with water, and feeds 100 people. Donations of fresh, dried and frozen vegetables — potatoes, beets, onions, garlic, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lentils, peas, beans, etc. are received throughout the year in quantities that range from a few pounds to many thousands of pounds. Local volunteers from this area process the produce and then everything is then chopped into small pieces and spread onto pans before being loaded into the dehydrators. At the end of the year when a good variety of ingredients have been gathered, the volunteers combine them all into a flavourful soup mix, bag them and place them in drums and ship them out. Similar to the process for vegetables, apples are diced and then dried and

bagged in 100-cup servings as well. How much does it cost to produce five million meals and how do the Gleaners do this? The cost is very little, with lots of local donations by growers and hours and hours of volunteer time. The miracle here is that a small community with simple resources can feed millions in the Third World by pooling resources, working together and offering goodwill so others less fortunate can survive. Additional costs of plant production comes almost entirely from the sale of used furniture at their Gleaners Used Furniture and Appliance Store at 440529th St. in Vernon. A major donation of the payment of rent and utilities is yearly made by the kind donations of the plant building owners, the Jensen family, allowing the pant to function. The Gleaners Plant is truly a community endeavour as well as a well-run operation, with the volunteers coming from all over the area and arriving at about 8 a.m. and usually leaving by noon. They perform all sorts of duties, from coring apples to spreading food onto trays to go into the dehydrators and cleaning up the mess. They are a happy bunch and know their volunteer efforts are really appreciated by hungry, and sometimes starving, families. If you want to donate or have some time and want to be part of really saving the world, call Harold Sellers, manager, at 250-558-8872.

For visitors getting outside of Ho Chi Minh City, they can meet residents of small villages, including My Hoi in Tien Giang Province.

Beyond the tourism zone DONNA YUEN Special To The Morning Star

VIETNAM - The tiny Vietnamese village of My Hoi is not on any tourist map. Nor is it on the typical tourist itinerary. Fortunately, it’s on mine. Located 130 kilometres south of Ho Chi Minh City in Tien Giang Province, My Hoi is a poverty stricken town of 8,000 people. During this visit to Vietnam, a fellow Canadian friend has invited me to join a group of 30 volunteers consisting primarily of Ho Chi Minh doctors and a few Canadians. Rural villages surrounding My Hoi have also been informed that we will be coming to help. About 400 people are patiently waiting when we arrive. They are in desperate need of medical treatment, pharmaceuticals and household basics. Upon arrival, the doctors immediately go to their pre-arranged stations where tables and chairs have been set up for medical exams. The remaining volunteers unload the toys, blankets, and food from the truck. They work like well-oiled machines. I can see it’s not their first time doing this. Sick villagers stream in, eagerly hoping to be treated. I feel the optimistic energy of the crowd. Fragile elderly ladies approach me, inquiring where to go for medical treatment. I gently take them by the arm and lead them a line-up for the doctors. After a brief exchange of smiles, I resume my spot with the volunteers who are bagging gifts. A family of six Vietnamese doctors are donating their time and the much-needed medicine to help the villagers. They are truly making it a family affair by including their own children who assist by sorting the medicine into individual bags. Children from the local villages are also not forgotten as they run around playing

MARK AGINSKY PHOTO

Residents of a Vietnamese village gather in the hopes of accessing medical assistance. with their new toys. The doctors selflessly serve the waiting masses in the energy-draining heat. I watch as one examines a seventy-two year-old woman. His serious expression says everything. “I’m sorry,” he says, “but you are very ill.” The woman smiles and responds. “Doctor, I know I’m dying. But I am so happy today. This is the first time in my life I have had the opportunity to be examined by a doctor.” As I leave the

medical area to watch the distribution of gifts, tears well up in my eyes. My Canadian friends are handing out the gift bags. One friend whispers to me, “This is very sad; we only have two hundred bags to distribute, so only the neediest are going to receive the food and blankets.” It becomes obvious that she too is deeply moved by the experience. I walk outside to see the villagers departing one by one with medicine, a bag of gifts, and their happy children in tow. By the end of the day, the doctors have examined 328 people and have provided each with the appropriate medication. “While the doctors provide the treatment and the medicine,” I ask, “who is paying for the toys and supplies?” “Didn’t she tell you?” the volunteer replies. “It’s your friend. She comes here twice a year on her vacation to help various rural villages all over the country.” I’m teary-eyed as I realize that the total cost of her mission is less than that of my entire Vietnamese vacation — my relaxing stay in Ho Chi Minh and the sightseeing tours of Notre Dame Cathedral and Unification Palace. Yet, ironically, this one day in My Hoi has been the most touching and memorable of all. After a meal of fish, vegetables and rice, we all board the bus for the long ride back to Ho Chi Minh. With our 4.00 am departure everyone is exhausted and sleeping. I pull my friend aside and say, “You are amazing! I had no idea this is how you spend your vacation time.” While flashing an angelic smile, she graciously replies, “Well, I just think that it’s important sometimes to step beyond the tourist zone.” I nod in agreement knowing that I will forever be humbled by this experience.

New moves for local dance studio Morning Star Staff

There’s a new owner and name for a Vernon dance studio. Ruth McGrath has purchased Cheek to Cheek from Lorna Robb and the business will now be known as Ruth McGrath Dance. “I have nearly a decade of experience teaching dance in the North Okanagan and I am very excited about my new adventure,” said McGrath. “I have worked closely with Lorna over the years and am thrilled to be taking on, once again, the joys and challenges running a studio can bring.” Robb has retired from running a dance studio in pursuit of other interests. She will remain in Vernon but will be traveling around the country teaching various dance workshops in different locations. McGrath started instructing with Robb at Cheek to Cheek. Over the years, she has been the manager of the studio and taught in schools, local nightclubs, at fundraisers and for various organizations in the community. Her first major event as the new owner will be Dancing with the Vernon Stars Oct 2. McGrath and instructors Tracy Holly and George Blencoe, are coaching various local couples routines for this fundraiser

“I have worked closely with Lorna over the years.” — Ruth McGrath

for the North Okanagan Hospice Society. When she is not teaching at the studio, McGrath and her fiancee George also teach beginner country lessons Saturdays at the Longhorn Pub and various courses for Vernon Recreation Services. McGrath says her classes are fun-loving and easy-going. “I love watching the journey my students take and seeing them discover for themselves how much dance can change a person,” she said. “A journey starts with a single dance step.” The studio specializes in swing, Latin, country, ballroom, line dancing and weddings. There are also belly dance and Bollywood dance classes available. Once a month, there are also theme parties at the studio. “They are geared for dancers of all levels, with mini dance lessons all night and SPROING CREATIVE PHOTO three instructors on hand to help out,” said Ruth McGrath (left) has purchased the Cheek to Cheek dance studio in Vernon from Lorna Robb.

Armstrong chamber pushes for meat processing changes Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce is gaining support for changes to B.C.’s meat inspection system. During the recent B.C. Chamber of Commerce conference, the Armstrong-Spallumcheen chamber presented a resolution on meat inspection that was unanimously endorsed by delegates. “Working with our local agricultural partners, this issue is now on the books to be pursued with legislators,” said President Andrew Laird, chamber president. “It’s been a very satisfying process working with North Okanagan producers bringing this resolution forward to Andrew Laird the delegates, and farming is something I’ve always been passionate about protecting, because for many families in the North Okanagan, we are talking about a way of life.” Laird says the current rules work against any producer not capable of mass volume to make the dwindling margins profitable. “In other words, it’s put most small operators out of busi-

ness for the simple fact they couldn’t afford to send livestock out. The diminishing margins left in meat production virtually evaporated,” he said. “Like many people that have watched their neighbours’ farms simply erode financially over time, I would like to see the vibrant and sustainable farming operations our region is traditionally famous for, given options to discover new ways of sustainable farming, to ethical standards. Introducing a change to the way producer licensing is handled would be a good start otherwise, over time, we’re at the risk of losing the general knowledge of animal husbandry associated with small-scale farming.” The chamber is recommending that the provincial government expand D and E licenses throughout the province and conduct random meat inspections based on a ranking system developed by the government meat inspectors. Presently, D and E licenses are available in 10 regions in the province, while E licenses can be applied for in the North Okanagan. E licences are only issued in cases where an operator demonstrates a clear need for additional slaughter capacity, or requires services not available through existing slaughter facilities.

“Community-scale livestock producers/abattoirs are mostly small and medium sized family run farms with an interest in running a viable business off their land,” said Laird. “The majority of these small-scale businesses or traditional family farms factor first-hand production and processing of their livestock as a way of offering fresh, quality and safe meat products. They aim to raise livestock in healthy conditions and to process in humane ways. Customers appreciate the integrity of the meat products these farms offer, choose to support these local farms and like to know where their food comes from.” The Ministry of Agriculture has initiated the B.C. Agriculture Plan which states that, “all British Columbians should have access to safe, locally produced food.” and that “B.C. will enhance its market brand to profile high-quality products reflecting our province’s reputation for environmental sustainability and healthy living.” “Only by restructuring the meat inspection regulation requirements as suggested in this resolution, could our province attain these goals in the area of community scale production and processing of livestock raised by B.C. small and medium sized farmers,” said Laird.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Spring cleaning has always been a messy job, and it can produce lots of garbage: plastic air freshener cartridges and the blister packs they come in; trigger heads on spray bottles; screw caps from bathroom and kitchen cleaners; used packages of disposable cleaning wipes, and more. These items are technically recyclable, however, the high cost of separating mixed plastics means the infrastructure to recycle them isn’t available across the country. This prompted Febreze (a Procter & Gamble brand) and TerraCycle to join together with London Drugs in an effort to make recycling this packaging easier for consumers. Residents will now find clearly marked drop-off boxes at select London Drugs stores, into which

“We have seen a number of great successes...” — Maury McCausland

they can deposit their home cleaning and airfreshening waste. Once full, the boxes will be picked up by UPS and shipped to TerraCycle. “We have seen a number of great successes in our partnership with TerraCycle, and we are proud to be able to expand upon the types of items our customers can recycle,” said Maury McCausland, retail operations sustainability specialist at London Drugs.

Increased funding for Lake Country parks KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

It appears two Lake Country parks will receive a boost to the tune of $300,000 after a public hearing laid out plans to increase the Lakes development by 12 lots in an area that was originally set aside

for parkland. There weren’t any members of the public that appeared at the hearing on Tuesday night as council heard plans for a phased development agreement. The proposal will see the developer of the

Lakes turn a 1.9 hectare area from proposed parkland into another phase of development at the Lakes. Under the application, the developer will be allowed to build the 12 new lots while handing over the appraised value of the land to

the district for use to improve already existing parks (Apex and Shoreline) in the Lakes. “As we are moving through the parks and recreation master planning process, we’ll be looking at engaging the community as to how best to use the money,” said Greg Bucholz, director of infrastruc-

ture services. “Three hundred thousand is a significant sum to work with to enhance the parks so for sure this will be put to good use.” The land that the new lots will be built on was appraised at $354,000. In addition to the $300,000 cash, the

developer will also use $27,000 to build a new parking lot in the new phase that will allow residents better access to the Spion Kop hiking trails. A further $27,000 has already been spent on a series of banner poles that were to be used for marketing the Lakes but for which will

now be dedicated to Lake Country for community programming purposes. Council must still finally approve the changes to the official community plan and the zoning amendment before the developer can apply for a subdivision to start construction of the new lots.

It’s pretty great that a school has those resources for students to practice on.” Wams studied the two-year electronic engineering technology diploma program at the college, and plans to pursue an electronic engineering degree at UBC Okanagan.

The competition saw Wams and and other participants use and program an accelerometer — it is the electronic equipment that allows smart phones to flip screen images from horizontal to vertical when tilted.

This will be a costeffective way of unlocking more private wealth for the public good. It is estimated that this tax saving will cost federal revenues around $265 million between 2016 and 2020. Our government also has in past budgets introduced a first-time donors super credit which is available on cash donations of up to $1000 made before 2018, to encourage young Canadians and first-time donors to support charitable organizations. Our government has also reduced the administrative burden on charities. The Government eliminated a number of disbursement quota requirements, allowing charities to focus

more of their time and resources on the good work they do. These improvements to Canada’s tax regulations will benefit Canadian charities by allowing them to draw on broader supports and expand the good work that they do.

Students invited to dip into the trades Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

When Mitchell Benzmer enrolled in the forestry program at Charles Bloom secondary school, hard work wasn’t high on his list of priorities. By the time he finished the program, he had a part-time job, was helping out as a peer tutor in Grade 12 and had been named Forestry Student of the Year. “It gave me a pretty good work ethic,” said Benzmer, 18, who graduated last year. “Before forestry, I didn’t have a job and didn’t want to get one. “This program was more hands-on and you’re not stuck in a classroom all day, so I got to learn how to use a chainsaw, a skidder and other equipment; the hard part was learning how to build wood projects in the classroom — we had to bring the wood back from the bush and mill it ourselves.” The School District 22 forestry program is operated at Bloom and at the school’s woodlot, one of only two forestry programs in B.C. with its own active woodlot. Forestry has always been a one-semester program where students learn and practise a variety of skills in the woodlot and the classroom, such as work site safety procedures, safe operating procedures of heavy duty equipment, first aid and metal fabrication. This fall, the 30-year-old program expands to a full-year to include Skills Exploration 11 and 12, which will give students a “sampler” of other trades, introducing them to carpentry, automotive, electrical, plumbing, mechanics and welding. Skills Exploration is jointly supported by the Ministry of Education and the Industry Training Authority (ITA). “Skills Exploration is government of B.C. recognized and they thought a trade sampler was a good way to have students find where their interests lie,” said Tim Thorpe, career programs coordinator at Bloom. “Here they get to try six different trades to see where they fit best. We want students to leave with work-ready skills and credits.” Forestry is open to Grade 11 and 12 students from throughout the district. In September, Grade 12 students spend the entire first semester as a forestry student until February; from February to June the Grade 11s will spend the entire second semester in the program. They break for summer and start again as a forestry 12 student in September. “There is a huge demand for skilled workers,” said Thorpe. “With this program, kids are basically going to work.” Grade 11 students receive credit for three forestry-related courses and science and tech 11; Grade 12 students receive credit for three Grade 12 level forestry courses. When the semester ends, students return to their home schools to complete the other course requirements for the graduation plan. “Students will only work on their other courses during the semester they’re not in forestry,” said Thorpe. “When they’re in forestry they are a full-time forestry student.” Forestry teacher Martin Tooms added that not all students in forestry are actually going to go into it as a career — the program is not trying to produce 16 loggers. “You get to develop skills — trades as a career represents a solution to the high percentage of students who do not

The program expands to a full year in September with the addition of Skills Exploration 11 and 12. attend university,” he said. “We want to teach them teamwork skills and how to problem-solve and these are skills they can take anywhere, they are all transferable skills.” Tooms said the skills students learn begin with something as simple as saying good morning. “It’s building a strong work ethic and being proud of what you do, and it’s showing respect for each other,” he said. “The program isn’t primarily about making good loggers, but rather good employees, with candidates strong in a number of important characteristics, including enthusiasm, initiative, reliability and great communication skills. “This whole concept has been needed for a long time, not just since they decided we need all these tradespeople. We need good skilled tradespeople, it’s not so much a shortage of tradespeople, but a shortage of good tradespeople.” Thorpe said his department is actively seeking partnerships with local industry groups to support the program. “We love to have community partners,” he said. “For things like tools, it’s a big price tag — $42,000 to purchase the tools required for the trade samplers and materials — so to have the monetary funds would be great, but we would also love to have ongoing partners. There are so many materials that companies

could help with, such as metal and wood.” Grade 11 Bloom student Michelle Britch was looking towards a career as a heavy equipment operator when she signed up for the program. “I wanted to enroll in the forestry program because with joining the trades there are so many opportunities for you in the work world,” said Britch. “And at the time I joined, I was so fixated on becoming a heavy equipment operator that I jumped at the chance to learn more about it. “Rather than sitting in a classroom or in front of a computer for my classes, I am able to work outside for six hours of the school day and I still get four courses done.” Her future plans include working in the forestry industry as a heavy machine operator, but Britch is also exploring other options within forestry as it has more opportunities than she anticipated. “The program has prepared me in ways I cannot begin to explain,” she said. “We have learned what it’s like to run equipment, work as a team, ensure everyone’s safety and much more. Myself and the other students have learned so much from Mr. Tooms and our certified faller Alan, and I appreciate it greatly.”

Dads: take care of yourselves

ne of my earliest memories of my dad is of him cutting out freehand a chain of paper animals. With a piece of white paper folded into sections, he would cut out horses, cows, cats, dogs, farm animals. I thought he was amazing! I would hang these paper chains on my bed frame and the wall. Sometimes colour them or separate the animals and stick them on cardboard so they could stand up, or attempt too. This simple gesture of his provided a great deal of pleasure. As a young child I was fascinated with cutting paper. My mom would bring me stacks of old paper and I would try to cut out little animals or people, always freehand like Dad. I never mastered the animals but I was great with trees! Stacks of plain paper, a pair of scissors and the Eaton’s catalogue were some of my favourite toys. My parents would give me a budget for shopping and I browsed the catalogue pages adding up prices to get to that amount. Then they would make

adjustments so subtracting was called for. A fun way to practise math skills. One year Dad travelled to Montreal, this time on his own, though mostly I went with him. He brought me back a little figurine of a blond girl with pig tails, just like me, with a piece of paper in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. That little Hummel figurine became so precious to me and was always by my bedside throughout my youth. Somewhere in one of many moves I have lost it. Finding one like it is often on my mind when in gift shops, flea markets or secondhand shops. When I think of my father it is mostly of times when I was on a trip with him. My mother was very outgoing and my father quiet, her

I fondly think of at parties or dinner. With Dad, it is on the train for our annual trips to Montreal, cooking, working in the garden, helping him milk cows and riding the tractor. He would let me drive, and kids love to drive tractors or cars sitting on their parent’s lap. As a young teen I would go to him with my problems and we would sit or walk and search for solutions. When we moved into town, our school allowed you to walk home for lunch. I found sitting in a classroom all day a real challenge. I loved school but sitting still was difficult for me, still is. Sometimes my father would let me skip out. I would say I had a tummy ache, he would pretend it was true and let me stay home. We would watch the afternoon movie together — Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Bob Hope, Cary Grant, wonderful black and white movies that I still enjoy and think of him. He would sit in his chair and I would lay on the couch, nicely tucked in with a cup of hot cocoa. Life was sweet. Dad was retired for

medical reasons when we moved into town and I was nine. Selling the farm was very difficult for him and we moved to an acreage on the fringe of town so he could still have a big garden with chickens and game roosters. He died by the time I was 16 and I still miss him every day. The way I see it the greatest gift a father can give their children is time. Conversations, time shared with activities whether fun or chores, projects, camping, hiking, driving, crafting, farming, sports, music, being present in their lives. Togetherness is the greatest gift. That’s what makes us smile or yearn for with tears, or warms our heart or gets us through the tough times. “What would Dad say?” can be a guiding thought. My sons’ wonderful father died as well. He was young, 39, and they were three and one. Gord was a smoker and it killed him. Watching my young sons watch other children with their dads was heart breaking. I was glad when my darling came into their lives and

“It gave me a work ethic, showed me what it’s like to have a real job, to pack a lunch every day, make sure you bring enough water and rain gear, always be prepared,” he said. Tooms said it was an easy choice selecting

Benzmer as the Charles Bloom Forestry Student of the Year for 2014/15 “It was a non-contest for the award: Mitchell was consistent with his infectious enthusiasm, strong work ethic, initiative, communication skills as peer tutor to the

Grade 11 students, and consistent reliability,” he said. “Mitchell loved the program and gave his best every day.” For more information on the program, call Thorpe at 250-5496921 or email tthorpe@ sd22.bc.ca

The Way I see IT

Michele Blais

Bloom expands its forestry program Continued from page A26 Britch said some students may look at the program as an easy way out of the classroom, but she said it’s anything but. “Our program has many parts to it; it isn’t just cutting up trees and chopping them up for firewood,” she said. “When I first saw people walking into the shop doors I just thought that they joined to slack, I was wrong. “This program is about work and getting involved in the trades system, and you don’t have to want be a logger or operator if you join, many of the guys and girls that I have had the pleasure of working with have gone into many different industries including gas, oil, construction trades and more. This program is for everyone.” For Benzmer, the program was his ticket into the work world, and he’s currently working on the pipeline in Saskatchewan.

Moist pushes back to the surface It’ll be a Funtastic reunion when David Usher and the boys from ‘90s rock band Moist return to the Okanagan after more than a decade Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

That voice, along with those guitar and piano opening lines, are still familiar to those who lived through the ‘90s. Like the title track off their 1994 best selling debut album, Silver, Moist is all about the build up to a dramatic crescendo – increased by the theatrics of the band’s charismatic frontman David Usher. The same could be said for the band’s history as one of the most recognizable Canadian alternative rock bands of the pre-millennium decade. With three albums to their name and hits such as Push, Silver and Gasoline that had the band on the charts and are still played to this day, that crescendo would come to a halt by the end the ‘90s when Moist decided to take a break – one that would last 13 years. While Usher would go on to have a successful career as a solo artist, public speaker, activist and author, the band was never far in thinking it would one day get back together. That day has come. Now reunited and touring the past two years, Moist is making its way to Vernon as one of the headliners of next weekend’s Funtastic Music Festival. “Generally, the response has been positive,” says the man behind those famous keyboard lines, Kevin Young, about Moist’s reunion. “We were not sure when the band got back together after all those years what the interest would be. But young people are coming to our shows thanks to the radio playing our singles. It’s been nice to come back and people treat us generously.” Young and Usher, who moved from their home in Kingston, Ont. to Vancouver in the late-’80s to attend Simon Fraser University, formed Moist in 1992 with two other Kingston natives, Mark Makoway and Jeff Pierce, and Vancouver drummer Paul Wilcox. Young remembers playing in the Okanagan, notably Penticton, during Moist’s time out west. However, mid-way through their success, the band decided to move to Montreal. “A lot of us came from back east and had been spending time on the road out there. We also spent a great deal of time in England. We loved Montreal, so it was a natural move for us,” said Young. By the time the hiatus came in 2000, Young and Makoway, who had been producing records, were living in Toronto, while Usher stayed in Montreal. To be clear, Moist never broke up, the band just took a break – a very long one. “We spent so much time living as a band, we simply decided in ‘99/2000 to take a break. We weren’t necessarily planning to take a break for a decade and change. It was open ended. There was no animosity. It was just ‘let’s take

He is also a freelance writer. “We’ve all maintained our careers in some capacity – what David has done has been well documented – and we thought we have our whole lives to write records, so what was stopping us. Revisiting the band was like pushing restart. It felt fresh and new again.” Moist has since added a second guitarist, Jonathan Gallivan from Toronto, as well as bassist Louis Lalancette and drummer Francis Fillion, both of Montreal, and manage to come together fairly often despite the six-hour drive between Canada’s two largest cities. “Having band members living in two different cities has made us focus,” said Young. The push to get back together came in 2012. Young says it had a little to do with Moist’s biggest hit, the aptly titled Push, off Silver. “It started with going back to tunes we hadn’t played as a band in years and recreating them with the sounds of new technology,” he said. “It was like going back in a time machine to re-visit these songs, and we realized how much we loved the material and the dynamic that existed in the studio. We got a sense of that chemistry again. That’s when we thought, let’s do another record and started discussing about going forward.”

That album, Glory Under Dangerous Skies, Moist’s fourth, came out in October and was followed by a nationwide tour. “We’re proud of the record. It’s a different time now where you can hear feedback so quickly. In this band, we have significantly different tastes. That’s what makes our dynamic.” Despite being older, and wiser, Moist’s live performances still show that dynamic and energy the band had in its heyday. “David is still very charismatic,” said Young. “We were not going to come back and do a watered down version of what we used to do.” The only thing that has changed, besides a new outlook and some new tunes, which audiences will hear when Moist plays Funtastic, is less throwing of the keyboard around, laughed Young. “There will also be less throwing of the keyboard player around too.” Moist begins its busy summer by playing Funtastic at the DND grounds, Sunday, June 28 at 10:30 p.m. The festival starts Friday with a headlining performance by Bif Naked, and a tribute act night Saturday. A number of local bands are also performing throughout the weekend. Tickets to the Funtastic Music Festival are $25 for a day pass or $50 for a weekend pass, available at the Funtastic office, 3401-35th Ave., online at funtasticsports.ca, or at the beverage garden ticket office near the ball diamonds during the festival.

McLauchlan to play Vernon Morning Star Staff

A Canadian folk icon is coming to Vernon this fall. Murray McLauchlan is scheduled to perform at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Oct. 22. One of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters, McLauchlan has released 18 albums and been awarded 11 Junos in his 40-year career. His songs Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, Whispering Rain and Sweeping the Spotlight Away are now considered Canadian standards. McLauchlan is also a painter, an author, an actor, a radio host and has been bestowed an honourary doctor of laws and appointed to the Order of Canada. This is McLauchlan’s first tour since his 2012 critically acclaimed release Human Writes. In the past three years, he restricted his touring to shows with Lunch At Allen’s, the group he co-founded, whose members also include Ian Thomas, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met,” said McLauchlan about his return to the stage. “I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and

your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” Tickets for McLauchlan’s concert in Vernon go on sale Friday. Cost is $46.75 (all seats)

available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

HEALTH TIP WILL BELEY

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

Sunburns can be painful and damaging to the skin in the long term. A few tips on treating a sunburn: Move to a cool place; have a cool shower the apply a moisturizing cream and drink plenty of water. You can take an age-appropriate dose of ibuprofen to help with the inflammation and pain. Best way to prevent sunburn: use a good sunscreen and avoid those hot times of day from 11 to 4. Just as water under too much pressure can damage a hose, if our blood pressure gets too high, it can damage the “hoses” carrying the blood around our bodies. Blood pressure in men starts to rise around the age of 45 and if left untreated can cause heart attack and stroke as well as damage to our kidneys. Men, if you haven’t had your blood pressure checked lately, get it done soon. It’s been said that 60% of Alzheimer case are preventable. Here are a few ways: exercise your brain and your body by learning another language, challenge your body by using the opposite hand for teeth or hair brushing. Get a good night’s sleep every night and keep your levels of stress to a minimum. Also, keep socially stimulated and involved in your community. The allergy season is here again. If you are an allergy-sufferer, we invite you to use the knowledge of our pharmacist staff to help you choose an antihistamine that is appropriate for your medical condition and relieve the allergies as well. This is especially important if you are a senior. Use our knowledge to increase your knowledge about the medications you use.

aleb (Domhnall Gleeson) is ecstatic that he has won the employee lottery. As his co-workers congratulate him he is whisked away by a helicopter to a secluded location, an underground mansion/laboratory where he meets his reclusive employer Nathan (Oscar Isaac). Nathan has created the Taylor and Howe ultimate artificial intelligence in the robotic form of a young woman, Ava (Alicia Vikander). Caleb has been invited to administer the Turing test, whereby an interview takes place to see if the AI can be distinguished from human intelligence. With the subject being an advanced robot, Caleb’s interview will take some time, getting to know Ava. He’s excited for the opportunity. Ava, having only ever known Nathan, seems genuinely pleased to meet Caleb. When power outages in their lab allow for a respite from Nathan’s observations, Ava and Caleb discuss a secret problem that will have to be addressed: Nobody’s bothering to consider what Ava wants. We say, “Ex Machina is looming, subtle, simultaneously vague and involving.” TAYLOR: Ex Machina hasn’t

I didn’t realize that I liked it right away. As I watched it, I kept creating expectations that were not met. After a while I began to wonder what was going on. This movie isn’t telling me anything, it’s just hinting at things and I have to fill in the blanks. Then I realized, as the pieces of the mystery started to cavalcade into place, this is the subtext of the film exemplified. It’s about defining what consciousness is. The world for Ava is the underground lab where she’s only known two men and some other robots. She, like all of us, take our worldly experiences, the hints they provide and fill in the blanks with thoughts about them. Ava’s blank slate just so happens to be filled in with the common goal of any caged being, the results

are chilling. HOWE: I thought this was going to be a robot sex movie... It’s not. It is an interesting and thought provoking story of what makes us human. It is one of the most interesting films that I have seen in a very long time and I loved it. From the opening scene it had me hooked, maybe because it had me scratching my head asking what is going on and wanting to know more. Couple that with some very good acting from the three main actors, the cinematography which is beautifully captured, and a soundtrack that sounds like it’s from a Carpenter movie. To me it’s an instant hit. If you are looking for something a little different, a little strange, then you can’t go wrong with this sci-fi thriller. – Taylor gives Ex Machina 4.5 summer dresses out of 5. – Howe gives it 4.5 vodka shots out of 5.

is a recent graduate from UBC Okanagan. Over the years, she has been involved working and volunteering in the arts community through organizations such as the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan, Lake Country Art Gallery, the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Kelowna Art Gallery. Currently she is pursuing a master’s in art history at Queen’s University and is spending the summer working in the archives at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff, Alta. The Art of Objects will look at how material cultural studies can be used to research and understand art. “We surround ourselves with objects and works of art are just one type of the many material objects we encounter. Material culture is all around us, representing our culture, values, beliefs or experiences. Often each object carries its own biography. This talk will discuss the application of material culture and how a close examination of objects depicted in paintings can reveal meaning and historical context,” said Ensing. The Art of Objects art history talk takes place Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Lake Country Art Gallery, 10356A Bottom Wood Lake Rd. This event is free and open to the public. Appearing and Fading - art as exploration, a group exhibition with work by local artists Connor Charlesworth, Sarah Cordeaux, Steve Mennie, Stephanie Patsula and Riley Wallis, continues at the Lake Country Art Gallery to July 4.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TRY TO THINK OUTSIDE THE DECK

TRANS FATS, REST IN PEACE. learn more at heartandstroke.ca

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT.™

Natalie Goldberg, who has published two successful books about the art of writing and has studied Zen Buddhism in depth, said, “Creativity exists in the present moment. You can’t find it anywhere else.” That is true, although one can also recall creativity from the past. In today’s deal, East needs to be creative. South is in three no-trump. West leads the club five, fourth-highest from his longest and strongest. South wins the trick with his king and runs the diamond seven to East’s queen. What should East do next? Many players would immediately lead back the

club four -- return partner’s suit. Here, though, South takes the trick and plays another diamond to assure his contract. When West is in with his diamond ace, if he shifts to a heart, declarer plays low from the dummy. First, East should tally the high-card points. The dummy has 10, East holds nine and South has 15-17. That leaves only 4-6 for West. Also, East should realize that if South had the diamond ace, he would have cashed that card before taking the diamond finesse. So, playing back a club cannot work. Instead, East should set his sights on three hearts and two diamonds. But if he makes the “normal” lead of the heart queen, the contract still succeeds. East

must think outside the deck and shift to his heart two. South takes the trick and drives out West’s diamond ace, but as long as West now leads his remaining heart, the defenders defeat the contract. Slow down your play and consider all of the possibilities.

Dennis Eric Learey

at the age of 90 peacefully passed away in his sleep in the early morning of May 16, 2015. After a long and full life Dennis will now join his wife Gwen Learey, who passed away in 2000. Dennis was born in London, England and at the age of 16 joined the Royal Air Force and served in Europe.

Dennis was devoted to his wife and together had a family of two sons Stephen and Eric. Dennis and Gwen together became some of the founding members of the Vernon Little Theatre which later became known as the Powerhouse Theatre. At that time, Dennis did work at several jobs, including many years at Okanagan Electric, but his true passion was acting. Over the years he performed in over 60 plays and took on a wide range of roles from comedy to Shakespeare. He won numerous awards for his acting, with the crowning achievement being, when he was voted the Best Actor in Canada in 1969 at the Dominion Drama Festival. Dennis will always be lovingly remembered by his family, Stephen Learey and Shelly with their children Parker and Connor and Matthew (Eric) Learey with Kristine and their children Denthew, Meta, Gwendolin, Eritin and Timeran.

Gordon John Muchowski

It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Gordon John Muchowski with family by his side at McKenney Creek hospice on June 15, 2015. His valiant fight against cancer and its effects came to an end with the same dignity and strength he showed throughout his life.

Gordie was born in Vernon in 1931 and his first job was in the Telegraph office, which is where he met his future wife Pat who was a telephone operator. His career soon changed to roofing and it was in this profession that he worked until he retired. He will be remembered for his carpentry skills building butterflies, planter boxes, bird houses and swings. Dad was an avid crib player and his other interests were golf, alley bowling, lawn bowling and curling. He was the treasurer of the Merritt Lawn Bowling club for 15 years and was also involved in various community organizations.

Rae Ruth Banner passed away peacefully at the age of 93 years on April 12th, 2015 in the North Okanagan Hospice with family at her side. Rae will be sadly missed by her two daughters, Brenda (Don) Gerein of Sicamous, B.C. and Marnie (Otto) Andersen of Vernon, B.C.; two sons, Ross of Vernon, B.C. and Allen (Coralee) of Smithers, B.C.; five grandchildren, Jasen (Lori) Gerein, Cory (Karen) Gerein, Casey and Jenna Banner and Hannah Brohman-Banner; four great-grandchildren, Madison and Jerrod Gerein, Connor and Caylin Gerein; several nieces, nephews and extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Daisy Atkinson in 1963 and Reginald Atkinson in 1973; her husband, Charlie, to whom she was married for 58 years, in 2001; and her later companion in life, Dr. Tom McMurtry in 2006; her sister, Doris Hodge in 1994; and her brother, Roy Atkinson in 1944. Rae was born Mildred Ruth Atkinson in Penticton, B.C. on June 24th, 1921. After her school days, she worked at the Hickory Shop in Penticton and married Charlie in 1943. Shortly after Charlie returned from overseas, the family moved back to Penticton, then to Nelson and finally to Vernon where Charlie managed the Safeway store. Rae continued her busy life raising a family and volunteering in the community. During her 55 years in Vernon, she was a member of the Kiwassa Club and Spallumcheen Golf Club, serving on the executives of both organizations. Rae was also a cub leader, assisted with the Community Concert Association and volunteered at the Art Gallery. Later in life she was very active in the Halina Choir and the Schubert Singers. She was especially fond of her garden and all her flowers. This is portrayed in her water color paintings, notecards and pastels of flowers. She was a talented painter, poet and singer and while able, lived life to the fullest. Rae was a wonderful mother to four children, a very kind, loyal friend who always went that extra mile to help someone in need. She was our role model. Mom, we miss you so much.

Distracted drivers on radar JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The province is considering stiffer fines and possibly vehicle impoundments or prohibitions to get distracted drivers to put down their cellphones and devices. Motorists caught using a hand-held device face $167 fines and – since last fall – three driver penalty points. “We took a first step and increased the penalties last fall and now we’re looking at possible changes to the legislation, including more severe penalties,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. A four-week online consultation period is open until July 16 to gather public opinion on whether tougher measures are needed. Comments are being collected at engage.gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving. Besides potential vehicle impoundments or driver prohibitions, the site asks if texting drivers should be punished more severely, and possibly new drivers and repeat offenders as well. Five years after distracted driving fines were introduced in B.C., many drivers continue to ignore the law. Police issued 55,100 tickets last year to drivers caught using an electronic device behind the wheel – an increase from 53,000 in 2013. ICBC estimates 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time and 40 per cent are texting or emailing as they drive. The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police supports escalating fines or sanctions, particularly for multiple repeat offenders, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord who chairs the chiefs’ traffic committee. But he said the widespread disregard for the cellphone law makes it difficult to see how officers could impound vehicles – at least on a first offence – without being accused of selective, unfair enforcement. “The impoundment of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers,” said Dubord, who is taking over as chief of Delta Police later this month. “When people are speeding at double the limit speed limit a threshold is broken which can then lead to the impounding of the vehicle.” He said he believes prohibitions should be con-

sidered, but only for the worst repeat offenders.
