City unveils new ‘call to action’ RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon residents and tourists are being encouraged to get active. A new brand or tag line, Activate Life, was unveiled for the community at city hall Monday. “We wanted something that separates us from other communities,” said Glen Benischek, chairperson of the city’s economic development committee.
The brand was selected after a survey of visitors and tourists indicated that people associate Vernon with an active lifestyle, whether it’s recreation or culture. “It’s a call to action. It can mean anything from bocce ball to spending time with the kids on the beach or skiing at Silver Star or Sovereign Lake,” said Benischek. Activate Life will be found on all advertising, but the brand will also be amended for
specific interests, such as possibly, “Activate your game” for sports, “Activate your menu” for culinary experiences and “Activate your imagination,” for culture. A committee of business and marketing representatives worked together on the brand. “Our objective was to create a strong brand message to represent the city in all markets,” said Benischek. Key issues that were considered were activities, the natu-
ral environment, location and community pride. “Non-residents see Vernon as a community with stunning surroundings,” said Benischek. Mayor Akbal Mund was part of the brand advisory committee until he was elected to office. “We’re trying to focus on Vernon and what it has to offer,” he said. “I think it’s great and it’s important to bring tourists to Vernon.”
Communities set to form living flag Morning Star Staff
It’s patriotic, and it’s on a day special to the nation. So it’s perfect for creating a living flag. Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, Royal Canadian Legion Branch #35 and the Armstrong Farmers’ Market invite everyone to join in the creation of a living flag in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag on Saturday, National Multicultural Day. “What better day to form a living flag than on Multicultural Day?” said Andrew Laird, president of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “Our community is proud of our Stk# UD2610
multicultural heritage. From Chinese market gardeners to Dutch dairy farmers, our business community has thrived and prospered due to immigrants.” The living flag Andrew Laird will be formed on the IPE fairgrounds in riding ring #1 (green grandstands) and a photo will be taken to commemorate the event. The schedule for Saturday is as follows:
10 to 10:45 a.m.: free T-shirts for the first 100 children to sign up to participate in the living flag (go to the tent at the Farmers’ Market); 11:00 a.m.: formation of the living flag and official photo, Riding Ring #1 on the fairgrounds Everyone is invited to attend. Show up dressed in red and white patriotic attire and help create a living Canadian flag. Attracting young and old, Canadians of every heritage, this event is a great way to Celebrate! Countdown to Canada Day in Armstrong and Spallumcheen. For more information on the free family event, visit www.aschamber.com.

A new industrial activity won’t get a break from the tax man. Coldstream council voted unanimously Monday not to extend the Lavington industrial revitalization area to include the new Pinnacle Renewable Energy pellet plant next to Tolko’s mill. “We have given enough benefit to Tolko by changing the zoning to allow for the pellet plant,” said Coun. Peter McClean. Had final adoption of the bylaw proceeded and the revitalization boundary area been extended, taxes for the operation would have been reduced by about $30,000 a year. While the industrial revitalization area was formed to encourage development, some residents told council Monday that the pellet plant should not get tax relief. “The boundaries of the revitalization area were known to Tolko and Pinnacle before Peter McClean selecting this location,” said Tom Coape-Arnold, who has been a vocal opponent of the pellet plant and is concerned about air quality. “Why should citizens of Coldstream subsidize this industry? Coldstream should keep the taxes to protect our air.” Resident Stephanie Hoffman also blasted the prospect of reduced taxes for the pellet plant. “The community should be compensated because Tolko and Pinnacle are the biggest user in Lavington. Taxes should go to the wear and tear of the roads,” she said. “With the mud and dust (from operations and trucks), taxes need to go to cleaning that up.” Pinnacle first applied for a boundary adjustment to the revitalization area in 2013 and council gave three readings to the bylaw Dec. 16, 2013. “I’m a little disappointed given that previous readings were voted on positively,” said Leroy Reitsma, Pinnacle president, of council’s decision. “I’m not surprised though as usually these tax programs assist projects to move ahead and we are moving ahead.” Mayor Jim Garlick says he voted against providing a tax break because of the ongoing conflict with residents over the pellet plant. “There is no use rubbing salt into a wound. We will put the taxes to good use and try to build some goodwill,” he said.

Smiles abound LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff olson Park was transformed into a sea of smiles, beautiful dresses and smart tuxedos as the Clarence Fulton graduation class of 2015 made sure they captured the excitement of their special day. Not wanting to miss getting their photos taken with each of their classmates and friends before they take different paths towards the future they packed the park, Saturday, moving from one photo opportunity to the next. Brittany Skrenek, who posed for photos with her grad date and fellow graduate Davron Polok, is looking forward to starting the Bachelor of Business program at Okanagan College in the fall but is sad to leave some aspects of high school life behind. “I am going to miss my friends, seeing my teachers and coaches and playing sports,” said Skrenek, a volleyball, basketball and soccer player at Fulton. “I will miss Mrs. (Sharon) Shaigec, she was my volleyball coach, gym teacher and mentor.” Corey Lehoux and Ryan Vadnais are also ready to face their futures head-on, starting training in November for the Level 2 apprenticeship in carpentry. Kayla Hillard, whose favorite subjects in high school were cafeteria and math, is taking a year off school to work at Wayside Press with plans to attend college after that. “I had lots of favourite teachers but my favourite place to hang out and help was the library with the librarian Ms. (Erin) Hobkirk,” said Hillard.

Suspicious fires spark investigation RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are concerns about the potential for small fires to escalate. Vernon firefighters have now responded to three suspicious blazes in the same area, including at 5:15 a.m. Tuesday in the 3300 block of Alexis Park Drive. “Police are definitely investigating,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. At this time, it’s not known if the fires are related. The blaze Tuesday involved several shrubs.
“It burned abut 20-square-feet. Rose bushes were knocked over and set on fire as well,” said Skolrood. No structures were next to the bushes but Skolrood says there was the potential for it to spread if a passerby had not called firefighters. The suspicious fires come at the same time that grass and other potential fuels are dry. “A couple or three days of extreme heat will make it tinder dry,” said Skolrood. “The risk is rising and these fires could evolve into something more serious.”

THE PERFECT BACK RIB! Back ribs generally have more meat and are more tender than side ribs, thus they are often more expensive as well. The bones (ribs) on back ribs are small and more rounded in cross-section than those of side ribs. To prepare the perfect mouth-watering, fall-apart tender back ribs, follow these simple directions: • First, boil or bake in the oven for 1 1½ hours until tender • Cool and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days • When ready, put on the BBQ on low heat, basting with BBQ sauce until hot By turning and adding sauce while cooking, you will infuse flavour and achieve the desired colour. Delicious barbecued ribs - the perfect addition to your summertime menu! Pat Webb is the Meat Manager for Askew’s Armstrong and has been a meat cutter for 40 years.

Problem bear prompts action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The public is being reminded again to prevent bears from becoming addicted to garbage. On Sunday, conservation officers responded to a year-old black bear which had become a regular sight on Coldstream’s West Kal Road, by Kal Beach, for about a week. “He had been going from yard to yard — a typical garbage-habituated bear,” said officer Mike Richardson. Officers arrived on scene at about 4:30 p.m. “He was chew-

eventually located behind a shed and tranquilized. A decision was made to destroy the bear. “He was a little skinny but not in bad shape. But once they get into garbage, they become a problem,” said Richardson, adding that a bear used to searching for trash poses a serious threat to the public. “Habituated bears lose their fear of people. All they want is garbage and they will do anything to get it.” Richardson insists residents should keep their yard clean of
City, firefighters sign new deal RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon and its unionized firefighters are trying to find middle ground. Council has inked a contract with the International Association of Firefighters for 2013 to 2015. Both sides have not had a deal since 2012. “It’s a new collective agreement and we’re happy with the terms,” said Brent Bond, IAFF local 1517 president. The pact includes a 2.5 per cent salary increase for each year, effective Jan. 1, 2013. Will Pearce, the city’s chief administrative officer. is pleased with the process. “It clears the deck and gets everyone paid for what they earned,” he said. “We can then sit down and talk about
Launch closed Morning Star Staff

where we go for 2016, 2017 and 2018. It’s a practical way to do business.” A challenge has been that a 2.5 per cent compensation increase is standard across B.C., with most fire departments having wage parity with their Vancouver counterparts. “A number of Lower Mainland contracts are for seven years or longer and the cumulative
impact of 2.5 per cent is significant,” said Pearce. Complicating matters further is that council’s strategic plan calls for the city’s overall operating budget to fall within each year’s consumer price index (it is presently 0.9 per cent). “You could have a big gap between anticipated budgets and true costs,” said Pearce. Between 2013 and
2015, the city has banked funds in anticipation of a contract agreement. “We are current with our financial obligations to our firefighters.” Bond is looking forward to the union entering into the next round of negotiations with the city. “They can get prepared for the next few years,” he said.

No scandals here
he City of Vernon’s 2014 financial report reveals some distinct approaches among elected officials. And specifically, it’s interesting to see how they handle civic-related expenses. “To represent the community, one simply must attend certain things that generate cost,” said Rob Sawatzky, former mayor, who submitted for expenses of $4,467. And the case can be made that politicians shouldn’t have to dip into their own pocket while on the job representing their constituents. Coun. Juliette Cunningham had expenses of $2,501, largely because she attended Richard Rolke municipal conventions and conferences on a range of social issues. “If you’re going to make good decisions, you need to be informed,” said Cunningham. She bristles at suggestions that conferences are taxpayer-funded junkets, and points out that the expenses cover transportation, meals and accommodations but not time away from her clothing store downtown. “It’s not a holiday. While you are there, you are working hard.” In fact, Cunningham is one of the few, along with Coun. Catherine Lord, who regularly attends conferences out of town. And given the complexity of running a large organization and the range of issues that surface, one could question why other council members aren’t trying to improve their skill base on behalf of residents. Coun. Bob Spiers didn’t claim one red cent in expenses in 2014. “I have no expenses that should be paid for by the taxpayers, and I am not a senator,” he said. An ongoing expense for most politicians is
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
fuelling up vehicles, but not in Spiers’ case as he doesn’t drive. If he can’t walk to a meeting, he hitches a ride. “One-third of my salary is non-taxable (as it is for all council members) and this was intended to cover any local out of pocket expenses,” said Spiers. The original concept behind the non-taxable benefit may have been to pick up meals or gas. But the reality is that overall salaries (they ranged from $63,126 for Sawatzky to the low $20,000s for the councillors last year) barely scratches the surface when it comes to the thousands of hours put into the public’s business. Nobody is purchasing $16 glasses of orange juice or claiming they live somewhere they don’t. Coun. Brian Quiring had a whopping $65 in expenses for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation forecast lunch. “It would have been my entrance in,” he said. Quiring says he never files for expenses and he suspects the $65 was flagged because staff at city hall booked his registration. “I also don’t take meeting pay.” However, while he doesn’t submit receipts, Quiring doesn’t make judgement calls about other elected officials and insists that the individual circumstances of each politician must be considered. “I don’t have any issue with people taking meeting pay,” said the architect, adding that some council members have to hire staff at their businesses to fill in while they are off doing things for city hall. “I have the luxury of going to a meeting and my office continues to function.” In the end, it’s easy to look at remuneration at city hall and be cynical. But unlike what’s happening in the Senate, local government expense forms are public documents and you can question mayors and councillors directly. That creates a level of transparency for all to see.
The auditor-general’s report into spending in Canada’s Senate is a very disturbing read because of the ongoing air of indifference to taxpayers and accountable spending. No less than 30 senators were cited for improper expenditures. While some are taking issue with the A-G’s findings, the standards he believes should govern spending are pretty basic. A-G Michael Ferguson stated that senators should not be billing for personal trips. Senators should not have the last word on what is considered acceptable spending, or action following investigation of their spending. They are paid by taxpayers, and taxpayers expect that those doing public business are as careful with their money as individuals are in day-to-day activities. The reckless approach to using taxpayers’ dollars by a significant number of senators, and the possibility that criminal charges may be laid against some of those who have been audited, has caused a shift in public opinion. Many people are now backing the NDP pledge to eliminate the Senate. There is certainly a better case for doing so than ever before. The Supreme Court has basically shut the door on Senate reform, given that it requires unanimity from all provinces. Abolition also requires unanimity. However, provincial governments could be pressured if there was a national plebiscite question on whether to abolish the Senate, as part of October’s federal election. Many voices have called for such a vote, and it seems an appropriate way to move forward on this issue. -Black Press

Being proactive makes sense
ichard Rolke's comments concerning the Okanagan Indian Band and the rail trail should be reinforced. He suggests wisely that, “jurisdictions involved in purchasing the rail corridor look behind legal boundaries or legal limitations and do what is right.” Having just watched the Truth and Reconciliation ceremonies and First Nations Chief Perry Bellegarde on Power and Politics (CBC), his suggestion needs to be heeded. The local jurisdictions do need to consider the legal history of land claims in B.C. in particular. That the band was blocked from placing an injunction against the sale of the railway lands is a small setback in the overall history of indigenous rights before the courts, especially the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC). The vast majority of court cases that have risen to the highest courts have been in favour of First Nations. This is based on a history that affects all of us, local jurisdictions included, from the Royal Proclamation (1773) through the British North America Act (1867), and the Constitution Act (1982). The SCC’s decision in Delgamuukw versus B.C. (1997) did not grant title to the First Nations but, “confirms that aboriginal sovereignty, i.e., exclusive jurisdiction and sole possession,
RAIL CORRIDOR After all the communication by the Okanagan Indian Band of its legal claim to the rail corridor from Vernon to Kelowna, the real question to the population in the North Okanagan is, if you win legal claim to the corridor what do you plan to do with the property? Do you want to be a middle man and sell the corridor to the community at a higher price? If so, I can see your point and even support it. If you plan to sell the corridor off piecemeal to the landowners adjacent to the corridor so they could own unfettered lakefront property and thus dismantle the corridor forever, I can't support that. The Okanagan Indian Band is a very important member of the overall North Okanagan Valley with special rights and privileges but they are still a member of the larger community. The idea of the corridor pathway from Coldstream to Kelowna is a quality of lifestyle issue and once it's gone, it's gone.
is the supreme law of the land pending treaty and, correspondingly, establishes the utter irrelevance of Crown parliamentary legislation and Crown court recent inventions based upon the common law." “Pending treaty” - powerful words, as the majority of B.C. is not subject to any treaty at all, save a few sites in Victoria and Treaty 8 in the Peace River (the latter “is a promise to the inhabitants of the land that would be free to continue their land-based lifestyle and culture of hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering, to no end”). In other words, the Okanagan land we live on is subject to, “aboriginal soverTo get real community support, please Chief Louis, say what the plans are for the corridor. Bruce Bernhardt TRAFFIC LIGHT NEEDED Stickle Road, on the Swan Lake side, is an accident waiting to happen every day. When exiting Silver Star RV Park, it is a no-brainer to not turn left on to Highway 97. But what isn’t being said is that to turn right into Vernon, is taking your life in your hands every time as well. There is no merge lane and the Vernon sign berm with its trees and shrubs provide zero site vision for motorists heading south to see Stickle Road, yet alone anyone trying to enter the highway from it. We can’t see them either. You should just try it yourselves to see how dangerous the right-turn is, then try it with an RV. We have been coming to Silver Star RV Park for 18 years now and love the Vernon area. I feel that a traffic light for Stickle Road is the only logical solution.
eignty” pending treaty. However, an even stronger case was made last year in an unanimous SCC decision concerning the Tsilhqot’in First Nation (2014) granting aboriginal title to that particular band: “Occupation sufficient to ground Aboriginal title is not confined to specific sites of settlement but extends to tracts of land that were regularly used for hunting, fishing or otherwise exploiting resources and over which the group exercised effective control at the time of assertion of European sovereignty.” As to the nature of that title the SCC decision says, “The nature of aboriginal I am hoping that all of those involved in the Stickle Road decision will use common sense and agree with me. It also wouldn’t hurt lowering the speed limit to 80 kilometres an hour north of the weigh scales. Ever try to merge a semi or large truck into the fast lane? It's no easy task. Lynda Roberts LAUNDRY LOAD Kudos to Don Mills for his recent letter, "Laundry service must remain.” An extra semi-trailer hauling 10,000 pounds of dirty laundry to Vancouver and then again to bring back the clean laundry on a daily basis does not make any sense to me. If you do go ahead with this, then we will blame you for contributing to global warming, or you could leave things as they are and you won’t be putting many residents of Vernon out of jobs they have relied on for many years as well. Pat Yaremchuk
title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how the land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.” In sum, while the Okanagan Indian Band was not successful in its application for an injunction, if it follows it through perhaps to the Supreme Court, there is a strong indicator for the band being granted aboriginal title. For that matter, we are all living on land that has not had its First Nations sovereignty extinguished through treaty and all levels of government need to keep this in consideration. If this issue does proceed through higher courts, it would be highly ironic if the communities involved had paid a significant amount of money for land that the CNR did not have legal title to in the first place, according to the historical precedents listed above. The communities involved should be negotiating now with the Okanagan band. The lead time and positive intentions will lead to, as Richard Rolke indicated, doing what is right. Jim Miles

Getting to know: Immaculate ANIKO FOrgO Special to The Morning Star
Ed note: After a brief hiatus, The Morning Star continues with its special feature, Getting to Know, featuring Q and As with local musicians conducted by Kalamalka Secondary School grad Aniko Forgo. his week’s Getting to Know is on Immaculate, aka Julian Wolansky, a Vernon-raised musician who has been making a name for himself as a fastrhyming hip hop MC. Most recently, he was named Artist of the Year at the 2015 Vancouver Island Music Awards and was nominated for Rap/Hip-Hop Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards for his 2014 full-length album Solitude. Q: What was your reaction to finding out that you won Artist of the Year at the 2015 Vancouver Island Music Awards? A: “I was actually nominated for three awards but I didn’t think that this would be the one that I’d win. It was the final award given out at the end of the night and I was a little discouraged the others had come and gone, so I was surprised and humbled by the honour and the response from the audience was pretty surreal. In that moment, I was inspired and excited.” Q: Describe your music in three words. A: “Relatable. Honest. Evolving. Q: How did you get your start with music? A: “I was first introduced to hip hop in Grade 9 when a friend who was into rapping encouraged me to write lyrics with

Vernon hip hop artist Immaculate (Julian Wolansky) is in the spotlight this week as part of The Morning Star’s getting to Know feature. him after school one day while listening to Jedi Mind Tricks. We soon formed a group called Underground Assassins, which included me, Kodiak and Infatuate. We mostly freestyled at parties and recorded snippets on a desktop computer mic to play back for ourselves. A year later, in Grade 10, I had a substitute teacher in English class who encouraged and allowed me to write my essays in the form of raps. I would then
record my song and play it for the class. She rewarded me with As. She was the reason I started taking the creation of my music more seriously and why I still strive for a positive message and poetic style.” Q: What’s the best decision you’ve ever made? A: “Never giving up on the pursuit of something that truly makes me happy. I don’t believe in conforming to society’s
pressures and limitations, which is why I live cheque to cheque, but at the same time have something of true value that costs nothing to make, share and enjoy.” Q: Who would your dream collaboration be with? A:“As obvious as it seems, I would choose Eminem because of the supreme challenge it would present. To match his intensity, complexity and message would bring out the best in me.” Q: What is the best thing about your life? A: “Music.” Q: What is your favourite song to perform live? A: “The Kill, a song that was never released officially because of sampling issues, but one that often gets the best response while performing and also by way of e-mails and messages after shows with people asking what song that was and where to get it – telling me how hard it hit them.” Q: What was the first album that you ever purchased? A: “I’m going to skip right over the embarrassing ones that don’t count and say… Jedi Mind Tricks – Legacy of Blood. Q: Where does the inspiration for your music come from? A: “Absolutely anywhere and from anything that lends itself to me: emotions, experiences, relationships, tragedy, culture… the world around me. Inspiration is a fickle thing, and not something I’ve mastered capturing in a bottle. It’s an ongoing battle, but one well worth fighting everyday in attempt to make a great song.”
Artist shows face as part of group exhibition at Silver Star gallery Kelowna’s Karen Rempel joins Gallery Odin as part of summer exhibition Morning Star Staff
The snow, and foam, has now cleared atop Silver Star Mountain as the resort prepares to open for its summer season. The site of the recent 5-k Foam Fest obstacle course, the mountain is readying for its busy bike and hiking season. Another popular attraction at the hill is the opening of Gallery Odin’s summer exhibition, featuring paintings, sculpture, fused glass, scrimshaw, pottery and more by wellknown Okanagan and B.C. artists. Amongst the florals, landscapes and abstracts at this year’s exhibition will be the portrait work of Kelowna artist Karen
Rempel. New to showing her paintings at Odin, Rempel’s work is a reflection of the beauty, diversity and mystique drawn from many years of international living and experience, say gallery owners Kal and Maria Molnar. Much of Rempel’s work has been created using the alla prima plein-aire technique, or from photographs, taken while exploring the countryside. This year, her inspiration comes from painting portraits. “When I roam around in search of a subject for my next painting, I look for that intense passion in a person. Sometimes it’s a facial expression, sometimes body posture, or often a combination of both. When I see it, I know it instantly and it’s like their passion sparks across to me and I feel an intense need; maybe even a challenge, to capture that feeling and get it onto canvas,” said Rempel in her artist’s statement.
Rempel has attended many workshops with internationally known portrait artist Kristy Gordon and has completed the U.S. Virtual Art Academy’s three-year Alla Prima Plein Air program with Barry John Raybould. She is currently studying with Kelowna westside artist Jerry Markham. Rempel won first place at the Federation of Canadian Artists juried autumn gallery show in Kelowna in November and has participated in dozens of art shows in Canada and India. Her work can also be found in private collections from London, England to Sydney, Australia, Canada and the U.S. The public can meet Rempel and the other artists at two opening receptions for Odin’s summer exhibition, Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. Gallery Odin is located at 215 Odin Rd., on the knoll at Silver Star. Hours are Thursdays and Saturdays from 2 to 6 p.m. or call 250-503-0822 for an appointment.

Turtle Valley is in Armstrong Morning Star Staff
Shuswap band Turtle Valley is the next Valley First Music in the Park concert taking place in Armstrong’s Memorial Park Friday. Named after a small valley located south of Chase, Turtle Valley got its start as the house band at the small festival Turtlestock, and plays a mellow, yet lively combination of classic rock and country, from CCR to Blue Rodeo, Willie Nelson to Garth Brooks, early Beatles to classic Elvis. There’s no karaoke backtracks, no synthesized loops, no irritating drum machine. Turtle Valley gives the audience easy-listening songs that often form the soundtrack of their lives and will make them want to get up and dance. Valley First sponsors the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Music in the Park series June 19 to Aug. 28 in Memorial

I
Drawing from the right brain
went to Spain to learn to draw. I realize this is a long way to go to pick up a pencil and I feel guilt at the sheer luxury of it all, but when my local art teacher organized a trip to Spain, I jumped at the chance. Once upon a time I was creative, then I went to medical school. Years of memorization, exams, grueling hours and high stress, gave me a muscle-bound leftbrain but my creative right brain went into a coma. For years following, it slept and then, after 20 dormant years, my right brain woke up, hungry. Realizing that the right brain is half of my available resources, albeit mostly ignored and starved, I decided to feed it. After all, I once was creative and when I opened myself to the creative process in the past I felt balanced, more in touch with the world and more alive. I put away the medical journals and started reading fiction, something that previously elicited endless guilt, because I was not learn-

ing facts. It didn’t take much reading, however, to realize how poorly educated I was; force fed and stuffed with 10 years of university science but hopelessly ignorant about everything else — literature, history, religion, politics, poetry and philosophy. With an appetite for a free-range education, I undertook and continue, my deprogramming and reeducation.
Immersed in the reading universe, I marveled at the ability of star writers who could move the reader through a constellation of emotions. I wanted that ability for myself and so I struggled to write, emulating those who traveled into the black hole of their being to craft stories anchored in truth and honesty. From them, I learned that the best writing originates in such a place. I discovered that words formed but a single letter in the alphabet of creative experience and that art was another, so I took up watercolour painting. I cannot express the feeling of creating your own picture. It
is the embodiment of who you are, what you see and feel, manifest on paper. It is hard work, with pitfalls, but once in awhile a painting will speak to you. It was in the process of painting, that I noticed my right brain had started to sing. I have been painting for the last year but I struggle with the drawing that precedes the rendering of the paint. I understood that adding a new letter to my creative alphabet —drawing — would expand my capacity to create and express, so I signed up for Spain. A beautiful country, likeminded Vernon people and a big distance from the responsibilities of everyday life, provided
the right setting for my right brain to blossom and enough distance to ignore the scolding my left brain never tires of administering when I am at home. Did I enjoy sketching in Spain? Absolutely! I will never be a great artist but the creative process fulfills me. My left brain will always be dominant because that is who I am, but exercising my creative right brain has made life so much fuller. We all have creativity; it is a beautiful present we have always had, but many have forgotten to open. If you decide to open it now, it will keep on giving. If you opened yours early, you are one of the lucky ones.

She put her craft skills to work, making stress balls and bracelets to sell at her lemonade and Popsicle stand. She and her brother Carson set up their table in a parking lot and made $85.35 in donations, to be given towards cancer research.
Salmon fillets ready for the grill
F
resh peas are one of my favourite veggies and they are in season now. I grow them for my granddaughter who’s commonly visiting by the end of June. We both like to pick and eat them right off the vines. Problem is, this year I must have planted them too early because mine are almost finished and there will likely not be any left when she comes, sigh. Never overcook peas; 2-3 minutes with the least amount of water is sufficient. If steaming, 1-2 minutes, and don’t add salt, as they’ll toughen up. A pinch of sugar will bring out their sweetness. Peas are great served with baked or grilled salmon and salmon is also in season right now. Today I have two very nice salmon recipes for you to try; one id baked and the second grilled. Enjoy. Alaska Salmon with Pecan Crunch Coating 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 5 teaspoons honey 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans 3 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley 6 (4 oz.) salmon fillets Salt and pepper to taste 6 lemon wedges Preheat the oven to

greased baking sheet. Brush with mustardhoney mixture. Cover the top of each fillet with bread crumb mixture. Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.

Westside eyes governance RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
North Westside residents are being urged to take pen to paper to push for governance changes. The North Westside Communities Association currently has three petitions circulating that will be presented to the Regional District of Central Okanagan for consideration. “People are tired that everything (taxes) goes up without any explanation of the reason,” said Bob Andrews, NWCA president. Bob Andrews One of the petitions calls for RDCO to initiate an incorporation study for the North Westside while the other petitions demand a stronger community voice and a review of water options. About 100 people attended a recent town hall meeting to discuss the relationship with Brian Reardon RDCO. “The vast majority sitting there are unhappy with how money is spent and how our director gets outvoted every time,” said Andrews, adding that he believes it is difficult to obtain information from the regional district. “People want to know the cost for an employee or the cost of power. They want to know if regional district staff are efficient.”
Wayne Carson, a long-time resident who has been North Westside director since November, isn’t surprised by the petition campaigns. “People aren’t happy with conditions as they are. They want a voice in their local affairs,” he said. “It all comes back to governance and authority over tax dollars.” However, Carson won’t say if he supports municipal incorporation as a feasibility study is required to look at the pros and cons. “You don’t jump off a cliff. There’s a process to follow,” he said. RDCO officials attended the town hall meeting hosted by the NWCA. “If was democracy in action. We heard a lot of concerns and it is good for us to engage directly with residents,” said Brian Reardon, chief administrative officer. However, Reardon insists RDCO’s two rural directors (the other is Joe Rich/Ellison) have a voice at the board table. “When you look at the resolutions, especially from January until now, I count 23 resolutions that area directors made or seconded that the board supported,” he said. Some North Westside residents have suggested that the community should take direct control over the water system because of dissatisfaction with RDCO operations. However, Reardon says there are few options for that to occur. “It’s a regional district asset managed on their (residents) behalf. If the community wants direct control over the utility, they would have to incorporate,” he said.

Mayor camps for a cause Morning Star Staff
Armed with a tent, a sleeping bag and lots of water, Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton will be camping for a cause. Acton is showing support for the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre by camping at the Highway 6 pullout, on the west side of the village, from Friday to Sunday. The emphasis is on going without and Acton will fast throughout the weekend. “Members of our community are going without. I’ve witnessed people hitting a stumbling block in life and if someone is there to catch them, the drop can be a lot shorter,” he said. “That’s where Whitevalley Community Resource Centre comes in, and I want people to realize how lucky we are to have these services and how we need to support them.” he said. Because provincial funding is limited, the WCRC is establishing a legacy fund so it has sufficient finances to provide services in the future. “We all have tough moments in our lives, so please help us to ensure the centre is around if you or someone you care about ever needs help,” said Acton. “I want people to come by and chat. This is an

opportunity to speak about an issue that may not be on everyone’s radar, but should be.” Whitevalley helps resident resource opportunities, get back into the work force, enrol in the Good Food Box program, access child care through the After School program and the Summer Day Camp, and participate in counselling. The centre also has ongoing services such as free Internet access, a resource library, the back to school Back Pack Project, the free book exchange, the fresh vegetable and fruit exchange and the volunteer bank. Acton will be at the pullout from 5 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Sunday, and he will be accepting donations for the legacy fund. For more information, call 250-547-8866 or visit www.whitevalley.ca.

Do It For Dad event raises $29,129 Morning Star Staff
The 16th Annual Do It For Dad Run and Walk raised $29,129 for prostate cancer treatment and awareness in the North Okanagan. The event, presented by Interior Savings, took place at Coldstream Ranch Sunday. “Every year, we enlist the help of more than 40 volunteers, 12 event sponsors, 30 prize and
entertainment sponsors and nearly 300 participants, to make this happen for men in our community. And every year, they do us proud,” said Sue Beaudry, director of development for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. A key partner in the event is the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group.
The top individual fundraiser was Marnie McKenzie, a long-time participant, who collected a total of $3,040 in pledges. The top fundraising team during the event was once again Doreen’s T-Bags, which raised $5,120 in pledges. McKenzie’s greatnephew, Sam Dewinetz, four, has participated since he was an infant
and thanks all of his friends at the Upper Room Mission for their pledges as well as his mom, Jody Wettig, for her support. “I am just amazed by the community and volunteer support we received,” said Clarice Piche, who coordinated the event for the first time. “We had a great turnout and nice weather
today, I think the event was great,” she said. Last year’s winner, Liam McGrath, once again took first place in the men’s category, running the seven-kilometre course in 29:39; while Kevin Pontious took second place at 34:20, and Mike McGrath placed third at 34:30. “We both enjoy running, it’s always nice

when we get to compete together,” said Liam, who beat his dad by five minutes. “It’s extra special when we get to do something like this on Father’s Day.” In the women’s category, Samantha Loewen took first place with a time of 36:57; Alex Lukey was second with 39:39 and Timaree Wallace finished third with a time of 40:04. This year, funds will provide free pros-
tate-specific antigen (PSA) tests for North Okanagan men, as well as help to purchase a resectoscope for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Men participating in the event were eligible to receive a voucher redeemable for a PSA test. Since inception, the Do It For Dad Run and Walk has raised $351,351.

Sports Penticton shade Pogos Morning Star Staff
First-place Penticton United clipped the Turn-Key Ogopogos 2-1 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night. Substitute keeper Mike Knight kept Penticton in the match with several outstanding saves in the first half, allowing Kevin Kothlow to net the go-ahead goal on a 30-yarder top cheddar before the recess. Turn-Key continued to pressure a hurting Penticton lineup and at the midway point, Duane Dennis stickhandled around several defenders and gently buried the equalizer. Dennis took the Burger King Man of the Match with several quality shots on the acrobatic Knight. Dave Braumberger netted the winner after a gratuitous bounce handed him the chance at Parkinson #16. Bryan Schenker, Roland Riedstra, Mark Wasylyk, Rick Danyluk and Parm Kler were all robbed by Knight. Nolan Clarke stopped a breakaway and was stellar all night for the 3-5-1 Pogos. Ruben Cervantes also shined. Cantina’s Pub edged Bosman Accounting 3-2 at Marshall Field #4. Carl MacLennan and Henk
Bosman, with the 2-2 equalizer off a header, tallied for the accountants. Cantina’s (3-5-1) got the winner with 17 minutes to play. Bosman just missed on a chance to level the score in the final minute. Brandt’s Creek Pub humbled the Silver Stars 7-2 at Beasley Park. Chad Warman, Lars Martens and Keith (Silver Bullet) Seager each supplied deuces for the pub crew. Lee McBratney registered the prettiest goal of the night. The Stars lost one player in the first half for a second yellow and lost another in the final half for a slide tackle with contact. Brandt’s Creek improved to 5-3-1, while the Stars dipped to 3-4-2. Johnny Orton rang up six goals before an early seat on the bench as the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels iced the last-place Rutland Spirit 13-1 at Marshall #1. Brian Williamson (2), Mike Daly, John Farina, Zane Klym, Paul Morgan and Ken Kranenborg completed the offence for the 6-2-1 Humpbacks.

Vernon A’s trio takes charge Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Athletics won three and tied one in a four-team Bantam AAA baseball jamboree hosted by the North Shore Twins last weekend. The Under 15 A’s, led by Vernon players Chase Batchelor, Zach Orchard and Jaden Parsons, are 25-12-1 on the season. In Game 1, the A’s shaded the Kent Bull Dogs of Seattle 1-0. Parsons drew a walk at the plate and was exceptional at second base, robbing a hit away from Kent with runners in scoring position. Batchelor was 1-for-1 at the dish with a single and ended the game with a running catch in left field with the bases loaded. The Coquitlam Reds grabbed an early 4-1 lead in Game 2, but the Athletics clawed back to earn a 4-4 tie. Orchard played a strong left field, recording several nice outs. Parsons rapped a single and made a Gold Glove catch in short right field by racing back from second and diving to make the play. Batchelor was the extra-hitter again, laying down a sac bunt that led to a run, drawing a walk and stole a base and scored. The Okanagan crew faced the Twins twice Sunday, holding on for
a 7-6 win in the opener. Batchelor started at second base, making several strong plays resulting in outs, the best when he snagged a line drive to end an inning with runners on second and third. Batchelor was 2-for-3, crushing two RBI-singles to left and right centre. Orchard also had a big game with a sizzling single, a bunt, two stolen bases, two runs scored and solid play in left field. The final game of the day saw the Twins race out to a 5-1 lead. The A’s rallied to tie it at 5-5 after four innings and won 6-5 in an extra eighth inning. Orchard caught the whole game and blasted an RBI-single and scored on his second time on base. Batchelor came in to pitch in the fifth and held the Twins scoreless through two innings of work. He was named the team’s weekend MVP. The A’s are in Surrey to face the Whalley 14’s in a four-game set this weekend, then head to Okotoks, Alta. for the Dawgs’ Perfect Game Tournament July 3-5. The Vernon Bantam AA Canadians opened their summer ball season with 16-8 and 13-5 wins over host Salmon Arm on Father’s Day. Matthew Hansen singled down
the third base line to open the first game, later scoring off a Falcon Thomas single. Ryan Gamage started on the mound, fanning one in two innings before Ben Fortems pitched the last four innings, striking out seven. Hayden Lewis and Fortems both scored in the second inning.

The
Bridge by Phillip Alder CAN YOU FIND THE PLAY QUICKLY? Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, poet, philosopher and orator who died in 63 B.C., said, “A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others.” I wonder if he owned a pet crocodile. In today’s deal, each side might shed crocodile tears for the other side, depending upon how the play proceeds. South is in four spades. After West leads his diamond queen, what should happen? Note that North’s jump to four spades is not, per se, a signoff. The higher North raises spades, the stronger his hand. If South can envision a slam, he may
proceed higher. Declarer seems to have only three losers: one spade and two clubs. He would probably take the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace and lead a trump. Now the spotlight falls on East. He knows that South has the diamond king, so the defenders are getting no red-suit tricks. East needs his partner to have something useful in clubs. East, sine mora (without delay), must win with his spade ace and shift to the club two, his low card guaranteeing at least one honour in the suit. Now South is centre stage. If he guesses to put up his club king, he can collect an overtrick. (He draws trumps, cashes his red-suit winners, then leads a club
to endplay West, who must concede a ruff-and-sluff.) But if South finesses his club jack, West wins with his queen and returns his second club. East takes that trick and leads the suit for a third time, West’s ruff being the fourth defensive trick. Who knows what South will do?

James Andrew Plumridge Jim, our Husband, Dad and Papa passed away peacefully on 18 June 2015 at the age of 92. Those who will truly miss him are his wife of 68 years, Lu and their children: Dorie & Hagen Klose (Jay Klose & Sherry Magill, Kaitlyn, Brayden and Madelyn), (Randi & Johnny Delisimunovic, Luka and Anica), (Derek Klose, who passed away in 2005); Roni Anderson (Dena & John Sharkey and Jack), (Steven Malashewsky, Elsie, James and Lucia), (Jeff & Diane Anderson and John); and Kim & Sherri Plumridge (Rickie Leveille & Andy Rouchon, Madison, Josh and Brayden), (Troy Plumridge). He was the youngest of 3 children (siblings: Wilfred and Jessie) born on 2 May 1923 to Walter and Emma Plumridge in Mission City. Jim was an amazing man. Besides his love for his family he enjoyed the quiet solitude of fishing, horseback riding, hiking, gold panning, camping - actually anything outdoors. Both he and Lu also enjoyed square dancing. Major accomplishments in Jim’s life were: Royal Canadian Navy, where he lied about his age in order to serve the Canada he loved as a gunner with the Combined Operations during WW ll, a Master Mason of Miriam Lodge and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Jim started his career making work boots in Vancouver but soon decided the outdoors was where he needed to be. His career path led him to work in logging camps on the BC coast and to dance the booms as he sorted logs for sawmills in Sechelt. In 1964 Jim, Lu and their three children moved to Vernon where they purchased acreage on the Old Kamloops Road and raised appaloosa horses. Jim became an accomplished lumber grader where his vast knowledge enabled him to teach his trade to others. At Jim’s request a celebration of life will be held for the family at a later date. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the amazing care givers at Noric House and Pleasant Valley Manor. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the charity of your choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

Frequent BATHROOM TRIPS?
Men Bell Prostate Ezee Flow Tea
Men have relief in 3-5 days from dribbling, burning and rushing to the toilet. Relaxes blood flow for better erections. Also helps with male incontinence. Works in virtually every case. If you are considering surgery, try this tea first. Hundreds of delighted men testifying on our website:æHad to get up every hour at night. Now I get up once a night. Joseph Whittaker, Sewell, NJ æ I cancelled my prostate surgery. I get up once a night. I'm so happy not to have to face the torment of a prostate operation and possible incontinence and impotence. Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON æEven after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy, I had to get up many times. Now I’m down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. #4a NPN 80051642 Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL æAfter the first year drinking tea, my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver. Thomas M. Thurston, Forsyth, GA. Women Ask for #4b Bladder Control Tea for Women. It seems so unbelievable, most women don't know there is a delicious tasting herbal tea available in health food stores that stops incontinence, bladder infections, UTis within days and women keep on wearing costly pads and diapers. Try the tea. It is guaranteed. Go shopping and travelling again worry free. We have helped tens of thousands of women.
MIGRAINE HEADACHES
<In the past 10 years I suffered a lot with migraines. I would take four popular pain killers and none of them worked well enough. After I found MIGRAID, I was blown away because it really worked within 30 minutes with no side effects. I’m totally amazed. Absolutely floored. Michelle Woodman, 29, Crystal Falls, ON <I was in the hospital for two weeks. They performed tests including MRIs, tried every drug they had. Nothing worked. I was praying to die. My mom found MIGRAID in the health food store. It worked in ten minutes. I couldn’t believe it. I want to express my gratitude. Christy Logue, 32, Tulsa, OK < For fifteen years I tried all the OTCs as well as prescription drugs that were a lot more expensive than MIGRAID. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective it was every time within 30 minutes. Maranca Daniels, 42, Murfreesboro, TN < Guarantee printed on all boxes. Must help within 30 minutes or money refunded. Try your own test. It’s risk free. Bell supplies EVIDENCE from #15 NPN 80041508 real people. The only evidence you can trust. Works by cleansing blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Actual Results. <After 1 week, my severe acne became quite mild and after two weeks, it had completely vanished. I suffered for five stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Clear Skin “saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON. RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. I was fighting it for thirty years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON. PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. For the last five years, I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60 NPN 80057652 Clear Skin, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within two days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For six years, my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Clear Skin for just a few days, my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long I am amazed with the results. Andy Yuen, 58, Vancouver, BC.
