“A Family Business, with Family Values”

Bidding is underway on some top of the line hockey memorabilia. The online auction for autographed National Hockey League Players Association jerseys has opened as part of the upcoming NHLPA Community Celebration fundraiser. “It should draw a lot of interest from throughout the Okanagan,” said Akbal Mund, Vernon mayor. Eight jerseys are up for grabs, including those autographed by Sidney Crosby, Akbal Mund Alexander Ovechkin, Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin. “Anything to do with the Vancouver Canucks is popular here,” said Mund of the Sedin brothers. Bidding for the jerseys continues until 12:30 p.m. July 10 at www.32auctions.com/ NHLPAJerseyAuction. All proceeds from the auction will go towards the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, as will funds from the NHLPA Community Celebration at Kal Beach July 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will feature a donation of hockey equipment from the NHLPA Goals and Dreams program to local hockey programs, music by Andrew Allen and a variety of activities. Among the NHL players scheduled to appear are Curtis Lazar, David Booth, Andrew Ference, Josh Gorges, Scott Hartnell, Ryan Johansen, Brayden Schenn and Luke Schenn. Former players that are expected to be there are Kelly Hrudey, Cory Cross, Brent Gilchrist, Dean McAmmond, Fernando Pisani, Joe Reekie and Steve Webb. Pre-purchased tickets with a suggested donation of $5 will provide entrants with a chance to win other signed NHL player jerseys, a chance to participate in special stand-up paddleboard events, and a food and drink voucher. Tickets are available at the visitor information centre and at the VJH Foundation office. “All of the money will go to a good cause,” said Mund, adding that he is impressed with the NHLPA getting involved in the community. “They are doing it because it’s the right thing to do.” Along with the NHLPA, the City of Vernon and the VJH Foundation, the other partner in the event is Predator Ridge Resort.

Seaton graduates embrace the moment TYLER LOWEY

Morning Star Staff

espite the blazing heat and the thick gowns, W.L. Seaton graduating students still found time for laughs and selfies during their grad photo and rehearsal at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Wednesday afternoon. “I’m so stoked, you don’t even know,” said an exuberant Kaiden Ross. “It’s a big day and I’m super excited.” Like a few Seaton grads, Ross is putting future education on hold for a while and wants to do some travelling. Working with the carnival this summer and travelling across Canada, Ross will station the Fool The Guesser game. Contestants will try to trick him as he tries to guess their age, height and weight. In November he plans to travel Europe for a year with his grad date. “Italy, Spain, Morocco - I just want to backpack and experience a life that I can’t do here,” said Ross. Looking back at his time at Seaton, Ross laughs at the times he was up for grad auctions in Grade 9 and 12. This is also a special grad for principal Jackie Kersey. She is finishing her second year as head master, but came to Seaton as an assistant principal five years ago. “It’s nice that I got to see this group go all the way through,” said Kersey. “They came here as shy Grade 8 kids, now look at them. They are all very confident, joking around and having a great time.” Two of the 130 grads are Brianne Herridge and Jessica Jones. They are good friends and are both planning big trips for the summer. The graduation was Thursday, and Herridge and her mother will barely have time to celebrate before they hop on a plane the next day for Europe. “It’s a crazy time. I’m super

excited to grad and I’m super excited to start this big trip with my mom,” said Herridge. They are headed on a month long trip from Greece up to Scotland; hitting up every country along the way.

Jones is planning a trip to West Edmonton Mall for some watersliding and lots of shopping. One thing Jones isn’t ready to leave behind are the relationships she has with her peers. “I’ve known a lot of them for

13 years so it’s going to be special celebrating with all of them,” said Jones. It wasn’t just grad rehearsal for Anthony Lewis, it was also his 19th birthday. “It’s neat, it’s kind of like an extra celebration at the end of the school year,” said Lewis. “But, the grad will not count as my birthday party. I will have one after.” Lewis’s favourite classes were the cooking classes. “I love to cook spaghetti and rice meals. Basically anything Italian, I love that type of food.” Lewis is mulling over the possibility of working as a cook and continuing the craft this summer. Brandon de Jong plans to rock out all summer with his friends before going their separate ways. The 17-year-old is in shock that school has come to an end. “I still don’t believe it. It happened too fast,” said de Jong. “But I get to graduate with all my friends so it should be a fun time.” De Jong is also a drummer

for Braianiac, a small band with his buddies. He intends to jam as much as possible before next fall comes around.

The City of Vernon has unveiled a new signage program for the downtown core.

New signs installed Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon is installing new signs to direct people to key destinations downtown. One of the key areas being identified by the signs is public parking. “They are designed to be colourful and playful and some signs will include rendered art posters on the back of favourite Vernon-based activities that reflect the new city brand, activate life,” said Cleo Corbett, long range planner. Developing a new signage system and design was identified as a key priority by the Downtown Vernon

Association and numerous council committees, including tourism, transportation and accessibility. Council approved moving forward with two phases of the project this year. The next phases will include expanding the signs beyond downtown and designing and installing cycling and pedestrian level signage. “You first want to help people get to destinations or parking areas by either a motor vehicle or self-propelled, like biking or skateboard,” said Corbett. “You then want to help them get around on foot.”

Provincial grants issued Morning Star Staff

Local communities have received a financial boost for policing, community safety initiatives, infrastructure and service delivery priorities. The funding comes from the provincial government. Vernon has received $351,418 in traffic fine revenue while Coldstream will get traffic fine revenue of $44,081 and a small community grant of $265,026. Lumby has received a small com-

munity grant of $256,590 and the Regional District of North Okanagan has been presented with a grant of $116,215.

Hoile humbled by honour ROGER KNOX

Citizen of the Year John Hoile (right) receives a bouquet of flowers from Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce director Donna Steeves at a ceremony in Hoile’s honour Wednesday at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery.

Morning Star Staff

Fifteen years ago, when he married a Canadian and landed in Armstrong, John Hoile was a stranger in a stranger land. But, “warts and all,” said Hoile, 72, he was welcomed in the community and he threw himself into volunteer work. His efforts with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, the Brown Bag Lunch Program, Interior Provincial Exhibition and Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce’s Harvest Pumpkin Festival, earned Hoile the title of 2015 Citizen of the Year. He was celebrated with a ceremony Wednesday at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery. “To be named Citizen of the Year, it’s better than the icing on the cake out there,” smiled Hoile in reference to a large celebratory cake in his honour that was served at the ceremony. “My jaw just dropped when they told me. Citizen of the Year is something that happens to other people.” Originally from Deal, in Kent, England, where he spent 25 years working for a ferry company as a steward on the Dover to Callais, France crossing, Hoile’s

“My jaw just dropped when they told me.” — John Hoile first volunteer gig was with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. He had noticed a sign in their window asking for a volunteer receptionist. “I thought, ‘I can do that,’” said Hoile. “That was just before Christmas and it was Christmas Hamper time. What started as doing something just to pass time became something I just had to do. It was special to be part of the hamper program.” Hoile, who celebrated the 10th anniversary of becoming a Canadian citizen the week he was named Citizen of the Year, still volunteers

with the club “whenever he is needed.” Former Citizens of the Year were on hand for the ceremony Wednesday, along with political dignitaries Mayor Chris Pieper, O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap MP Colin Mayes and Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “John is a true worker bee that we all cherish in our volunteer world,” said Pieper. “He jumped in to be part of our community. He’s the guy that does all the work behind the scenes.” Said Kyllo: “It’s folks like you, John, that put

in the effort behind the scenes without any desire or need for personal recognition. You do it because you love the community. Today is about celebrating John and the contributions he’s made to local community.” Mayes called Armstrong “a better community because of Hoile.” Hoile was presented with a bouquet of flowers from Donna Steeves of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. He will be formally introduced to the community at Armstrong’s Canada Day celebrations Wednesday at Memorial Park, and he’ll also be the marshall for the annual IPE parade Sept. 5.

Safety measures sought for trail RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There are calls to amend the design of a Coldstream trail to enhance public safety. The district is proceeding with a pathway on Kidston Road from Coldstream Creek Road to Kidston Elementary School, but resident John Anderson told council Monday that more needs to be done. “I’m very worried a kid will be hurt,” said Anderson, who lives along Kidston Road and sees students and teachers regularly

walking the route. The plan is for the pathway to be four-feet-wide but Anderson says it should be similar to the six-feet-wide trail farther up Kidston Road so there is sufficient space for pedestrians and cyclists. He also wants to see barriers installed to separate pedestrians from vehicles. Anderson’s concerns were further pursued by Coun. Richard Enns. “Maybe there should be traffic calming like a crosswalk at

Sovereign Park,” he said. “Maybe it (barriers) is something worth considering.” Michael Baker, director of infrastructure services, said the pathway will vary in width from four to five feet because excess land is not available in some locations. “A crosswalk can be added with the line painting program.” A $362,192 contract for construction of the pathway between Kidston school and Coldstream Creek Road has been awarded to Postill Nixon Earthworks.

Wolfenden Terrace parking a concern ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The number of vehicles parking on Armstrong’s Wolfenden Terrace, in front of Heaton Place, has become a problem.

The road has no centre line and if parking was permitted on only one side of the street, the width of remaining roadway has been measured at 15 feet, assuming the vehicles parked

of average width. “Two-way traffic is able to proceed but it’s very tight,” said chief financial officer Terry Martens. Parking on this section of road may or may

News Pilot project benefits Grade 12s KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

Grade 12 students looking to post-secondary education now have a chance to dip into several college academic courses thanks to a partnership between the Vernon School District and Okanagan College. In partnership since 2005 with rotating trades courses, the two groups will begin a pilot project in September offering academic courses in cultural anthropology, English and indigenous studies. Jane Lister, regional dean at the Vernon college campus, outlined the project for trustees at Wednesday’s district Jane Lister board meeting. “This is a great thing for us, and the school district is paying so that’s good,” she said. “We are seeing a real trend of students only taking four courses a year and taking five years to do their degree as they were finding five courses too much — this provides an opportunity for students to access advanced courses and earn credits, thereby lessening their first-year load.” There are two dual credit programs offered to high school students: trades, which began in 2005 and is open to Grade 11 and 12 students, and academic, starting this fall for Grade 12 students. “Trades came about due to OUC being split into OC and UBCO and the availability of OC offering more trades programming,” said Lister. “Local labour market demand for trades was high in 2005 to 2009 and from 2010 onward, we’ve had high demand from the oil patch.” Lister said the academic dual credit program came from trying to provide more opportunities to high school students. “We are also hoping the initiative will help raise the transition rate of School District 22 student to post-secondary — this gives them an introduction to post-secondary,” she said. “We are both looking for more ways to meet the needs and career aspirations of students.” District superintendent Joe Rogers said the academic dual credit courses are a way of giving Grade 12 students the opportunity to earn universitytransfer credits and secondary school graduation credits at the same time. “Jane has been a great partner for us,” he said. “For our kids, this is a ninth course for them, to be taken at night. We get the funding because we are out of funding protection, so there is no loss for us.” Rogers said the district pays the OC course fee on behalf of the students, although they are responsible for purchasing text books as required. The Vernon district screens and selects all appli-

cants. Students will receive four secondary school credits and three OC credits for successfully completing the courses. “They are transferable to all B.C. universities, they introduce students to the rigor of first-year courses and they allow students to be acquainted with college instructors,” she said. “We’ll see how it goes the first semester — I’m having professors knocking on my door to say ‘Why didn’t I get asked?’, but there are some courses that won’t work for this. “Science is one that won’t work as there is too much lab work and generally you have to have the background of Grade 12 science.” Anthropology 121 is an introduction to cultural anthropology running September to December and enrolment for this class is now full. English 153 narrative runs January to April 2016 and will explore a variety of narrative forms, including short story, memoir, poem, song, film and graphic novel. Indigenous Studies 100 runs September to December, Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. In this course students will become more informed about historical events that shape current indigenous peoples’ relationships with Canadian society, politics, education, economy, social justice and cultural renewal. “Students will study issues such as mining rights, pipelines, aboriginal programs in schools, Indian bands, missing and murdered indigenous women, etc.,” said Lister. “Students will become aware that indigenous peoples are very much still here, that languages, cultural practices and responsibilities have been maintained and that indigenous peoples are very diverse with different traditional territories, languages, ways, and relationships with federal and provincial government.”

Trump: a retrospective

onald Trump was born in a 300-room log cabin in Trumptown (formerly known as Queens), New York in 1946 and elected president of the U.S. in 2016. From his humble beginnings as the son of an extremely wealthy real estate developer, he lifted himself up by his bootstraps to become an extremely wealthy real estate developer. His struggle to remain rich taught him many life lessons that came in handy on his way to the highest office in the land. His winning campaign slogan expressed his entire philosophy in eight simple but electrifying words: “If you don’t vote for me, Jim Mullen you’re stupid.” In his inaugural address, he promised that no matter what happened, he would remain classy, and then he proved it by cutting the speech short so the reigning Miss USA could do her batontwirling routine. Few Americans that saw it will ever forget where they were that day. Trump was the first president to refuse to live in the White House, which he referred to as “that dump,” because it was not classy enough. Instead, he built his own presidential residence in Atlantic City, now known to one and all as the Trump House, which has been used by U.S. presidents ever since. Trump bought the now-empty White House in 2018 and turned it into a casino. It is also a popular wedding venue, especially famous for its classy, drive-thru, top-of-the-line Elvis wedding chapel. Trump’s first term was marred by the fact that he didn’t put his money into a blind trust, as previous presidents had done. His TV show “Celebrity Cabinet Member” also raised eyebrows, many thinking that getting a Cabinet seat as a prize for winning a game show was a bad idea. But, in retrospect, it seemed to work just as well as the old way. Saying that government had to be run like

VILLAGE IDIOT

a business, Trump eliminated all government programs that did not turn a profit. The military was forced to hire out its services to other countries to pay the bills. The United States Army, Inc. is now fighting in 64 countries around the world and turns an annual profit of $40 billion. President Trump called it his “No. 1 job-creation program.” Selling the money-losing National Park Service was a “no brainer,” he said, and he even bought one of the parks himself. Trump Acres (Formerly Yellowstone) “will be the classiest development in the world,” he bragged. “Instead of being a tax burden, it will be a tax benefit.” Though busy through most of his first and second terms designing the self-financed Trump Monument – still the world’s largest statue, at twice the size of Lady Trump (formerly known as the Statue of Liberty) – and running his various casinos and real estate holdings, President Trump still managed to pass a bill to eliminate taxes on current and former presidents who were also real estate developers. “This way, more people like myself will be able to run for president. After all, why should I take a pay cut to help make the country a better place for me?” Taking a page from sport venues, Trump sold the naming rights to airports and train stations across the country to advertisers. Pepsi One (formerly Air Force One) now flies the president for free on his many business/ government trips, and the presidential limousine now has more advertising painted on it than a stock car. Despite the long hours and the hard work of being classy, he kept his sense of humor. His appointment of Diana Ross to the Supreme Court was a typical jocular moment in his presidency. “Get it?” he said to a senator from the state of Procter & Gamble (formerly Ohio). “A Supreme on the Supreme Court! I think you can expect to see some classy new robes soon.” Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

The 31st annual Funtastic SloPitch Tournament and Music Festival is well underway, and if forecasts can be believed it will be a hot one. Players should make sure they take advantage of the water bottles being handed out all weekend, not to mention the misting station near the beverage gardens. And of course sunscreen is a nobrainer. Close to 300 teams are playing in Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby and although many teams are vying to do their best, the accent is always on fun in Funtastic. The music festival wraps up tonight with headliner Moist taking to the stage at 10:30 p.m. as once again organizers have delivered a good lineup for all to enjoy. We hope all participants enjoy the festivities responsibly and truly celebrate the tourney’s motto of “Building a Better Community Through Sport.” And it’s a motto that rings true because not only does the Funtastic Sports Society board of directors and staff, volunteers, sponsors and, of course, participants, help make this one of the best tournaments and community events in the country, there’s a legacy of generosity that will live on for decades to come. Over the years, more than $1.5 million has been provided for building fields, improving sports facilities and boosting local notfor-profit agencies. So this weekend is a win-win for the participants and the community at large as it continues to bring people together in celebration of sport as well as provide funding for improved facilities long into the future. Well done to all involved and fyi, next year’s tourney goes June 30 to July 3.

A magical transformation

or several years, my wife and I have looked after numerous nesting boxes. Most of them were built with western and mountain bluebirds in mind but end up being appropriated by tree swallows. A couple boxes were made much bigger in the hope some larger more exotic birds would take up residence. This year it happened. As you can see from the picture, our new American kestrel family consists of four vulnerable, bewildered, awkwardly-curious youngsters. Before summer fades into autumn they should be fierce self-reliant gracefully acrobatic hunters. This is one more example of Mother Nature’s innate ability to create magical transformations. Lloyd Atkins

COSENS BAY NEIGHBOURS Just wanted to take a moment to give a big shout out to Bob from Cosens Bay for being the first responder to the fire in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. It was Bob who rushed over from his home in Cosens Bay, with his son and their portable fire suppression gear that kept the park from going up in flames. His quick actions controlled the fire and got it under control. Also a big thanks to Mike and his boat that helped apprehend the suspect. The great work by a couple local citizens are the reason there was no larger event. This is the third time in the last 10 years that local efforts by everyday citizens have kept Kal park safe. The first fire was called in by Cosens Bay homeowners that brought out the water bombers and fire crews for a careless cigarette that was discarded. The second was a lightning strike on a tree that started a fire, that fire was responded to again by Cosens Bay homeowners and secured until forestry crews could arrive. It's great when everyone can come together to help out our neighbours. Shane Melenko DOGS I always read the letters to editor in The Morning Star. I notice many complaints of dog owners not picking up after their dogs. What I think should be implemented is this. When a dog owner goes in to purchase his dog

license, he or she must allow a DNA sample to be taken from the dog. When excrement is found on a trail, street or park, etc., an officer could then take a sample of the dog's waste and it could be easily matched up to the guilty dog Once the offending dog's DNA is determined by a match, a fine is then sent to the owners address. The fine would then need to be paid before the dog license renewal. Only when it hurts the owner's pocketbook would they start to pay attention. Ron Schwartz PICKLEBALL PROPONENTS We were very pleased to see the letter to the editor regarding the growing sport of pickleball. Kudos to Mr. Hocevar for taking the time to share our dilemma. We have been playing pickleball three to five times a week for more than two years and now travel into Kelowna regularly to play on their beautiful dedicated courts. We host at Middleton Mountain on Monday mornings and often have 40-plus people out to those sessions. We all know that there are many great health benefits to exercising regularly and we have had the added benefit of meeting a huge group of wonderful people. We need the City of Vernon to come up with a plan (not a five-year plan or a sevenyear plan) to get us dedicated courts in the near future. Our neighbouring communities of Kamloops

and Kelowna have recently addressed the need for dedicated courts. We request that the City of Vernon adopt a similar position sooner than later. Sandy and Gerry Forcier AGRICULTURAL WATER One thing that I have not seen or heard discussed in the great water debate is how much of our water is used in agriculture and how much is used for private consumption. And what does each respective group pay for that water? This debate is quite prominent in California at this time of water shortages in that state. It has been stated that agricultural use in California is about 80 per cent of all use and is virtually unfettered, the cost however, is born by private consumers mainly. What is the situation here in Vernon? Gerry Laarakker OTTAWA MEMORIAL In regards to all of the wrangling about where to place a memorial on Parliament Hill in honour of the victims of godless communism, I would suggest placing it right next to the one in remembrance of the victims of cultural genocide and suffering by aboriginal people, especially innocent children. In true Canadian fashion, it should read, "We're sorry (no platitudes). Signed the church and the government of Canada." There are many talented aboriginal sculptors who would do the monument justice in its honesty and sincerity. Vera Fear

POSTAL SERVICE The post office would have us believe the boxes they are providing are secure. They are apparently broken into so often that they do not even notify the boxholders. Here is part of a message I recieved about a cheque I sent in the mail. "I made an inquiry to my post office today regarding your mail that has not arrived, along with several other cheques that have not arrived. "It turns out that our mail box has been broken into two times in the past 2 weeks! "And Canada Post didn't bother to tell us because, 'It happens all of the time.'" The post office needs to redesign their boxes so they are not easily broken into. They also need a policy notifying customers when their boxes have been broken into. This is unforgivable.

From food, vet bills, dressage saddles, bridles, boots and breeches, Gracie is somewhat of a luxury model 16-year-old Shelby Skinner really can’t afford to run. Gracie, however, is Shelby’s bestie. They pretty much hang out 24-7 and love to compete in the horse world with future Olympic aspirations. Shelby rides Gracie, an eight-year-old mare, two to four hours a day,

six days a week, spending another two hours a day grooming, feeding and doing barn chores. To help offset expenses, the Skinner family is holding a fundraiser Saturday from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. with recording artist Lee Dinwoodie the highlighted entertainer. “I will be doing a demo, there will be a silent auction and we hope to show a midnight movie in the barn,” said Shelby, who is home schooled. The Skinners live at 7940 Keddelston Road in the BX. Everybody is welcome. Skinner is a threeday equestrian eventer who has been riding horses since she was a tyke. She knows reaching the Olympics takes more than a love of sport. “This is no easy undertaking and if I felt I could reach my goal on my will, spirit and

determination alone I would,” she said. “But I realize it takes a great deal of money and publicity to make my dream a reality, money my parents just don’t have.” Horses run in the Skinner house. “My grandma (Sue Nixon) rode when she was a kid and still does. My dad (Jamie Skinner) rode and competed when he was a kid and his dad (Bob Skinner) also rode when he was younger and as a young adult. My mom (Tracey Skinner) has ridden all her life. My grandma and grandpa (Erv Nixon) on my mom’s side raised thoroughbreds for racing and so did my great-grandpa and great-grandma on my dad’s side.” Shelby has had three ponies and two horses so far in her career. She has also ridden and trained many more horses for others. She lives with her

Vernon’s Shelby Skinner and her mare, Gracie, hope to compete for Canada at the Olympics. mom on her grandmother’s farm which is equipped with a barn, outdoor riding arena, and a small cross-country jump course. “I am very fortunate to have the setup that I do, right out my door, to help me grow as a rider. Our neighbour and friend (Terry Leggat) from a few properties down, has built an indoor arena and a gallop track around the perimeter of her acreage. The gallop track has been a great addition to my horse’s training for bumping up her strength and stamina. “She will allow me to ride in her indoor arena for lessons during the winter months. This will help progress my horse’s training when, normally, I would be riding in the deep snow.”

Skinner gives props to her family for support and encouragement. “Horses are my life and have been for as long as I can remember. I feel being with them is where I belong. One of my aunts is even convinced I’m part horse.” Skinner has competed in two regional events this season, missing a third of the season due to Gracie nursing a mild strain to a tendon. “In order to reach my goal of the 2020 Olympics, I need to be moving up at least two levels a season which means competing in more events per year and travelling into the U.S. to compete in larger, upper-scale national events. This will help to gain exposure and experience for me and my horse.”

Parking issues arise at popular farm KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

Since opening its doors to the public in 2012, Lake Country’s Kangaroo Creek Farm has been a huge success. But with growth, comes issues. Parking arose at Lake Country council as owner Caroline MacPherson asked for a permit to expand her operations to a neighboring property that will take Kangaroo Creek Farm from its current 3.5 acres to close to 10 acres in total. The district is asking MacPherson to come up with 28 parking stalls to

businesses. MacPherson suggested there could be parking allocated on an empty lot across from the farm’s entrance but added she would have to lease the property from the district. A long-time resident of Lake Country, MacPherson says it’s been frustrating getting the parking issue dealt with and says if a solution can’t be found, she may have to change the way she operates in order to limit the amount of visitors and cut down on traffic. “I think what people need to know is if they ever see the day where we throw our hands in the air and bring a fee schedule in (to charge visitors), it’s not out of

greed it’s out of frustration because we have been made a victim of our own success,” she said. “If the municipality continues to put pressure on I will eventually be forced to charge a fee in order to reduce the number of people that come.” In the end, council voted to approve a temporary use permit for the expansion but included the need for additional parking spaces. Kangaroo Creek has five months to come up with a plan for the 28 stalls. Expansion plans are expected to begin in late July. “I think it will get ironed out but it’s been a lot more stressful than it needs to be,” said MacPherson.

The Kalamalka Lakers’ grad was announced by Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Canada Basketball as one of 12 players who will head to Edmonton Tuesday for their final preparation camp. Raincock-Ekunwe showed well at the late April trials at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “I felt pretty good at the tryout camp,” she said. “It was nerve-wracking the first couple of days. I kind of sat back and watched the amazing senior players do their thing. After that, I felt more comfortable and pulled through.” A 6-foot-2, 165-pound power forward, RaincockEkunwe played for Team Canada head coach Lisa Thomaidis with the national development team a few years ago. Salmon Arm’s Bev Smith, bench boss with the Oregon Ducks, is an assistant. Raincock-Ekunwe, who helps her mom, Denny, run some farms in Oliver whenever home, figures veteran Kim Gaucher, 30, will provide leadership in the Pan Am Games. Gaucher, a Mission product playing pro in France, is one of seven players from this squad who represented Canada at the London 2012 Olympics. “Kim is vocal,” said Raincock-Ekunwe. “She always knows where to be on the floor and what do to do. She works closely with the head coach.” Raincock-Ekunwe will play for TSV 1880 Wasserburg (Germany) this fall after starring for PHOTO SUBMITTED BG Donau-Ries Angels in Nordlingen, Germany.

Gymnasts end with fun meet Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s up and coming gymnastic stars spun and flipped during the 16-annual Fruit Bowl at North Valley Gymnastics Tuesday night. The overall winner was awarded a juciy watermelon. The event is an in-house competition to introduce intermediate and advanced recrational gymnasts to gymnastic competitions. There were 39 competitiors, ages 7-15. “We have kept this meet as a North Valley only meet in order that our own gymnasts feel as comfortable as possible in a competition setting,” said head coach Kathy Stevens. “It’s a fun meet that only focuses on execution of skills rather than the difficulty of the skills.” North Valley gymnastics currently has 1,038 member participants and employs 15 coaches. The club is a non-profit society, and the programs are open to the public. The club starts youngsters off in the Climbing Koalas and Swinging Monkeys programs. Summer camps are being held at the facility at 2707 – 45th Avenue (near Canadian Tire) in Vernon, July and August. Summer camps are half days (morning or afternoon) and run for a week (Monday to Friday) for ages 3-17. Visit nvgym.com to register, or call 250-5585136.

out tourney. They made things interesting with a 10-4 win in Game 1. Jody Swartz was perfect 4-for-4 at the dish. Melissa Locke went 3-for-4 with an RBI, Kate Carter and Michelle Embleton went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Cortnay Solmes cranked a bases-loaded triple for the Gators. The Pitches wrangled the Gators 16-4 in the deciding game. Taylor Weixl recorded the championship-clinching RBI and Krista Horton was dealing on the mound in the mercy. The Pitches pulled ahead with an eight-run run inning and never looked back. Earlier this season, the Pitches belted their way to top spot at a women’s D Provincial Championship slo-pitch qualifying tournament in Abbotsford. Garth Gartner and Braden Robertson are coaches.

Glenn Allan scored twice as Vernon Kal Tire rallied past Penticton Pinnacles 4-3 in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League play Thursday night at sun-drenched City Park. Rodney Goodchild showed some true Okanagan spirit by opening the Vernon offence at 25 minutes with a rifle shot. Play went back and forth for the rest of the half. Penticton equalized near the 72nd minute on a mix up off a corner. A few minutes later, Penticton (3-8-1) pulled ahead on a long ball that ended in a foot race which the Penticton forward slightly won and finished. First-place Vernon (11-1) responded when Allan took a feed and went on a run, beat a defender and buried a beauty. Minutes later, Duane Dennis capitalized on a turnover, walking around a sprawling keeper for the easy tap in. Kal Tire’s final goal came a few minutes when Allan converted from Tyler Johnson. Penticton connected after some miscommunication between Kal Tire defenders and keeper Ian Butler, named the Wings Man of the Match. The Tiremen host second-place Lake Country Tree Brewing Thursday (6:30 p.m.) at Marshall Field #1. In men’s 55+ play, Paul McCardle bagged a deuce as Vernon Silver Stars smothered Summerland Rockets 5-0 at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Rob Ross, Keith Chancellor and Mahmoud Abdel-Kader added singles, while Ray Tims recorded the shutout. The Stars improved to 6-3, while Summerland dipped to 1-10. OTC/Sunterra Sistas turned back the Green Rockets 3-1 in women’s Division 2 action Thursday night at Marshall Field #4. Andrea Zubot of Sunterra picked up a short goal kick and converted

midway through the first half. The Rockets levelled the score early in the second half, but 10 minutes later, Kim Sylvester scored off a corner for Sistas. Jennie Currie took a link from Cara Van Tol, ran down the right wing, crossed it in front of the net and flicked one in off a Green defender. The Rocket defence did a great job of stepping up to catch Sistas offside several times. On forward for the Sistas, Diane Neudorf and Amy Fitchett had numerous runs and great passing plays to produce several chances for the ladies in orange. In midfield, Amanda Gaythorpe’s gritty play, along with Lesley Williams’ stick-to-it-iveness, Miranda Dalhuisen’s cleverness and Krista Gutknecht’s expertise, all consistently advanced the ball into Rockets zone to keep things exciting. Sister Sistas Michelle Mulholland and Currie played on the back line together, alongside Tania Wirachowsky and Van Tol, cleaning things up for keeper Wendy Nadeau. It wasn’t looking good for Sir Winston’s Attack as they fell behind 3-0 to the Fantastic Four before gaining a 3-3 draw at Marshall #5. Brandi Wejr and Shelby Fisher’s tenacity up front finally paid off – with two quick goals by Wejr and then a fabulous third goal by Fisher – all within the last 20 minutes of the game for the Attack. Azra Cawley of Sir Winnie’s had an awesome game in net – facing down multiple hard shots by the pink squad and coming out hard to challenge an opposing striker on a breakaway. Carrie Sutch once again played a wonderful game on the back four – tackling hard, sprinting harder and grinning the entire time. Rookie Marie Braun consistently shut down some great plays.

Labels help guide Canadians with celiac disease TrisTaca curley Special to The Morning Star

You might be surprised to learn that about 350,000 Canadians have Celiac disease, and more than two million have a gluten sensitivity. In fact, Agriculture and Agrifood Canada states that nearly one-third of Canadians seek out gluten-free products. So, what exactly is gluten? It’s a protein found in wheat (including triticale, kamut and spelt), barley, rye and oats. It’s also added to processed foods and found in unlikely places, such as soy sauce, sauces and seasonings, candy, medications, beer and processed meats. In 2012, new labeling came into effect in Canada that applies to all packaged food and requires manufacturers to identify ingredients containing gluten. Unlike the U.S., where food labeling laws do not require explicit disclosure of gluten ingredients, Canada considers gluten to be an allergen. If a packaged food product says “contains” or “may contain” wheat,

rye, barley, oats or gluten, it’s not safe for someone following a gluten-free diet. The exception would be gluten-free certified oats. Gluten-free foods may also be labeled with a Health Canada approved “GlutenFree” claim or a gluten-free certified logo from the Canadian Celiac Association. Many foods may not be labeled as glutenfree even though they are safe to eat for those on a gluten-free diet, and many foods do not carry an ingredient list or warnings — such as spices, alcohol, natural health products and foods sold at farmers’ markets. Also, foods that aren’t pre-packaged — such as fruits, vegetables and unprocessed meats and legumes — are naturally gluten-free, as are grains such as quinoa and rice. To support those living gluten-free, here is a recipe for scrumptious and easyto-prepare meatballs. Apricot Curry Turkey Meatballs 4 slices Udi’s White Sandwich Bread 1 pound lean ground turkey 1 large egg

1/3 cup dried apricots, sliced 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon curry powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Toast bread in a 400 F preheated oven, flipping once, until thoroughly toasted, about 15 minutes. Place in a food processor to crumble into crumbs or do it by hand by placing toast in a food-grade plastic bag and smashing the toast into crumbs with a rolling pin. In large bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, pine nuts, parsley, curry powder, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands and form into small quarter-sized balls. Place on baking sheet and bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through. Serve with plain yogurt sweetened with honey if desired. Tristaca Curley is a registered dietitian in Kelowna.

IDAHO - A chill settles over my body as the dark tunnel swallows me and my bike. I pedal hard, pushing for the light at the end of the 1.66-mile dungeon and keeping a sharp lookout for deer, moose and elk. The animals are elusive on the day I’m burrowing into the innards of Idaho’s Bitterroot Mountains, but the tunnel’s moisture leaves me a triumphant stripe of mud down my back. The rugged Bitterroots stretch between Idaho and Montana, and the best way to traverse them is by bike. The 15-mile trail known as the Route of the Hiawatha was part of the Milwaukee Railroad, which was built in 1909 to transport cedar logs, and later moved freight and passengers until its bankruptcy in 1977. Twenty-one years later, the railroad was lifted and the gravel trail, complete with seven massive trestles and 10 tunnels, became a mountain biker’s paradise. One of the reasons

The slope perfectly accommodates kids as young as five and seniors in their 80s and 90s. Over the course of 90 minutes, riders drop 1,000 feet in altitude and find themselves surrounding by magnificent forests of fir, birch, pine and cedar, with spectacular views from trestles suspended 230 feet above the lush valley floor.

Tour 25 – Limit is 25 people

in Wallace, a small city that grew exponentially when deposits of silver, lead and zinc ores were discovered in the 1800s and the first mining claims were made. Some miners made a fortune from those claims but others were not as lucky. We venture into one of the latter, the Sierra Silver Mine, where our mine tour is led by Lenny Hoiland, a 30-year mining veteran. Walking us into the dark bowels of the mine, he describes the daily challenges and dangers of hard rock mining. By the end of the tour we wonder out loud why would choose such dangerous work. Hoiland’s eyes go misty. “I loved it,” he reflects. “There was camaraderie, a sense of accomplishment and good money working in the mines. If I could, I’d go back in a heartbeat.” Idaho’s summertime temperatures climb quickly into the high 30s, and with our kids clamoring for a swim, we head to Coeur d’Alene, a city located steps from the lake that bears its name. Joining the locals we plunge into its deliciously cool water while around us parasailers soar into the sky and pleasure boats zip through the still water. We dry off on board a cruise of Lake Coeur

d’Alene, as the captain delivers a narrative on some of the exquisite waterfront homes we pass, many of them accessible only by boat. Among those homes are fortunes made and lost, dreams fulfilled and some abandoned. On one island the water laps against the foundations of a home that represented one man’s dream. “Only after he built the foundations did he learn the land wasn’t actually his,” the captain says. While we’re impressed with the lake and Coeur d’Alene’s funky downtown, filled with gift shops and galleries, our kids are after a different area attraction: Silverwood Theme Park. The largest theme park in the Pacific Northwest, its 413 acres in nearby Acton are divided into Boulder Beach Water Park, with lazy rivers, waterslides and pools, and Silverwood’s land-based entertainment, which features four roller coasters and some 70 different rides and attractions. The beauty of having the two parks side by side is that one entrance fee pays for access to both. We spent a fun day moving between the two and experiencing the rides geared at thrill-seekers and those better suited to soft adventurers and the tot crowd. When the heat became unbearable we’d simply cool off with a long drift in the water park’s lazy river. Idaho is known as potato country but those words don’t come close to describing its majestic mountain ranges, exquisite lakes and plethora of outdoor activities. This hidden gem is full of surprises that keep the whole family engaged, exhilarated and entertained. Lauren Kramer is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder ASK PARTNER TO HAVE THE MINIMUM HOLDING Richard Cobden, an English member of parliament who died in 1865, said, “A newspaper should be the maximum of information and the minimum of comment.” These columns try to impart the maximum of information in the space provided. At the bridge table, during the bidding, a player should judge how high to go by assuming that his partner holds a suitable minimum for the auction so far. And usually a defender should work out the minimum that his partner needs to hold so that they can defeat the contract. How does that second possibility apply to this deal? What should happen

in four hearts after West leads the spade king? Note that North did well to employ the Stayman convention to locate the 4-4 heart fit. Three no-trump would surely have lost five spades and one club for down two. (My rule is to use Stayman with a low doubleton, but not with a strong doubleton.) The defenders need four tricks to defeat the contract. East should hope that his partner holds either the club ace or heart ace. East, after encouraging his partner to continue spades by signalling with his eight, should take the second spade and shift to his singleton club. Here, West wins with his ace and gives East a club ruff, which is the fourth defensive trick.

Alternatively, if West has the heart ace, he wins fourth trick with it and gives his partner the lethal ruff. Finally, yes, East could overtake the spade king with his ace at trick one and immediately shift to his club. If anything, that is a more dynamic, delightful defence.

Mountain bikers want a place to call home. With the success of the Sprockids program and growing interest in the sport, the North Okanagan Cycling Society has its sights set on the construction of a bike skills park. “With the difficulty in finding locations to stage and subsequently run the Sprockids program, it was apparent that Vernon was lacking a mountain bike skills park,” said Matt Ball, NOCS vice-president. Skills parks are designated areas within local communities that have been developed to help all levels of riders improve their riding skills. NOCS’ bike skills park sub committee has had discussions with the City of Vernon, Vernon Rotary Club and other organizations. “The committee plans to lobby local businesses for endorsement and resource provisions,” said Ball. “If you are interested in getting involved or would like to endorse this project, contact okbikepark@gmail. com.” Sprockids is an introductory mountain biking program for youth ages seven to 14 and it recently took place at Silver Star Mountain Resort with 120 participants. “Sprockids is in place to engage the next generation, encourage mentorship and enhance connectivity amongst the biking community,” said Ball. “In the program, volunteer instructors are given an opportunity

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist

Canada Day falls mid-week this year, so no long weekend — although many will take one anyway. We celebrate our “Canada, Strong and Free.” There will be public celebrations in every town and city across this great nation as well as individual parties, picnics and barbecues by individuals and families. More hot dogs, burgers and potato salads will be served on this one day than in all of June, but perhaps you may want something a little different; perhaps the juicy, full-of-flavour lamb burger below. Kids and adults alike will devour the appie hot dogs, the rib dish can be made up to two days in advance, and the homemade ice cream is a wonderful dessert with chunks of buttery shortbread and a sweet butterscotch ripple that tastes just like Canada’s favourite tart. If you like raisins or pecans in your butter tarts, swirl a small handful into the ice cream when you add the butterscotch and the cookies. Take some time this Canada Day to reflect on the values and gifts that are ours — they have come with much sacrifice by those who came before us. Happy Canada Day to you all! Bacon Wrapped Doggies with Cheese Dip 1 package bacon 1 package hotdogs 1 cup Cheez Whiz 2 Tbsp. minced pickled jalapenos 2 Tbsp. salsa Cut hot dog and bacon into thirds and wrap each hot dog bit in bacon and place seam side down in a shallow baking dish. Cook in preheated oven at 400 F for 20-25 minutes, until bacon is crisp. Arrange on a plate. For sauce, in a microwavable safe bowl, place Cheese Whiz, jalapenos and salsa, mix well and cook for 30 to 45 secs until cheese is melted. Enjoy! Mediterranean Lamb Burgers 1 pound ground lamb 1/2 pound ground beef 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 (16 ounce) container Greek yogurt 1/2 lemon, zested 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt

Dining Delight photo

Mediterranean Lamb Burgers make a nice change from the classic ground beef burger. 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices 4 slices green tomato 4 ciabatta sandwich rolls, sliced horizontally 1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese, sliced 8 baby arugula leaves Preheat an outdoor grill for mediumhigh heat, and lightly oil the grate. Mix ground lamb, ground beef, mint, ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl until just combined. Divide evenly into four portions and shape in to large patties. Set aside. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, 1 clove garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; cover and refrigerate. Cook the lamb and beef patties on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for well-done. An instant-

read thermometer inserted into the centre should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place slices of onion and green tomato on the grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 1 minute on each side. Spread yogurt sauce over the sliced ciabatta rolls. Assemble each burger by placing the patty on the roll, and dividing the feta cheese slices over the patties. Top with a slice of grilled tomato, grilled onion, and 2 leaves of arugula, followed by the top half of the roll. Butter Tart Ice Cream 6 egg yolks 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1-3/4 cups whipping cream 35% 1-1/2 cups milk 1 tsp. vanilla 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/3 cup butter 3/4 cup chopped shortbread cookies

In heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in 1-1/2 cups of the cream, the milk and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and distinct trail remains after finger is drawn across back of spoon, 10 to 15 minutes (do not boil). Strain through fine-mesh sieve into 9-inch (2.5 L) square cake pan; place plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 1/2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container, with plastic wrap directly on surface, for up to 24 hours.) While custard is chilling, in saucepan, cook brown sugar and butter over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and brown sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining cream. Scrape into heatproof bowl; let cool to room temperature, about 1-1/2 hours. Process custard in ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions. Spoon one-third of the ice cream into large airtight freezer-safe container; drizzle with one-third of the brown sugar mixture and sprinkle with one-third of the cookies. Using tip of knife, swirl together. Repeat layers twice, swirling between each. Freeze until firm, 4 to 6 hours. Easy BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs 3 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons paprika 1 tablespoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons ground mustard 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 full racks baby back pork ribs (about 5 to 6 pounds; any pork rib will work) For the barbecue sauce: 1 1/2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 cup light or dark molasses (not blackstrap) 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon chili powder 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons paprika Place all of the ingredients except the ribs in a medium bowl and stir to combine; set aside. Cut 4 (24-by-12-inch) pieces of aluminum foil; set aside. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Remove

What is Swimmer’s Itch? Swimmer’s itch is a temporary, very itchy rash caused by a parasite called schistosomes. Schistosomes are little worms that are found in many lakes & ponds in BC. The parasite themselves spend their life cycle in the bodies of water snails & in the bloodstream of ducks & other waterfowl. The larvae themselves leave the snail host & then travel near the surface of the water to hopefully hitch a ride on a duck or other waterfowl. Mistakenly, they hitch a ride onto our dogs or onto us. Upon leaving the water, the larvae start to burrow under the skin. The parasites cannot survive on us or our pets, and die almost immediately after they burrow into our skin. The itchy rash that develops is an allergic reaction to this invasion. How can we avoid swimmer’s itch? There is no way to entirely avoid swimmer’s itch unless you & your pet avoid going to lakes or ponds altogether. Pay heed to warning signs posted at public beaches & other hotbed areas. Most importantly, dry yourself off as well as your K9 friend as quickly & thoroughly with a dry towel. If a rash develops & your pet is uncomfortable & won’t stop scratching, consult your veterinarian to discuss the best course of treatment to alleviate symptoms.

What does the Okanagan mean to you? The answer might be found in one of the fourseasons sports that abound in our splendid valley; in the sky, the hills, or the waters; or in the expressive face of a child or a weathered grandmother. “My Okanagan” is the theme of a photo contest sponsored by Grannies à Gogo: the VernonSouth Africa Connection. Amateurs and professionals are invited to enter as many photos as they wish that reveal their individualized vision of the North Okanagan. Recently Mary Stebbins of Vernon visited the African gogos (grandmothers) in Sabie, South Africa who are supported by Grannies à Gogo. She presented a slide show sharing her Okanagan, as a way to personalize the connection between the gogos in Africa and the grandmothers in Vernon. They responded enthusiastically to the sense of the people and the place of their Vernon supporters. So now the challenge goes out to everyone to encapsulate your own version of what the Okanagan means to you. Capture your impression! The 13 winning photos will be featured in an 11x17 planning cal-

endar for 2016. Funds raised from calendar sales and the $5 entrance fee of each photo will support AIDS-bereaved gogos in South Africa. Prizes will be awarded for the winning photos. For details and entry forms see www.granniesagogo.com. Entry forms are also available at Sladen Moore Accounting, 3005-35th Ave., across from the RCMP detachment. Contest deadline is Oct. 1. Susan Fenner is publicity rep for Grannies à Gogo.

and set aside at room temperature while the oven is heating, at least 20 minutes.) Place the ribs in the oven and roast until fork-tender, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Place all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, whisking occasionally, until the flavours have melded and the sauce has reduced to about 2 cups, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to grill. To grill the ribs, heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (350 F to 450 F). Remove the ribs from the foil, place them meaty-side up on the grill, and brush them with some of the sauce. Cover the grill and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and brush the ribs and cook another

5 minutes. Continue to cook, flipping and brushing every 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the ribs are heated through and have grill marks, for a total grilling time of 20 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and cut the racks between the bones. Transfer the remaining barbecue sauce to a serving bowl and serve with the ribs. Game plan: You can make the ribs through step 7 up to 2 days in advance. After roasting, transfer them to a large, shallow container, set aside to cool for about an hour, then cover and refrigerate. When you’re ready to grill, remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature before grilling, about 1 hour. The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let it come to room temperature before using.

Mother and son create art installation out of trash Morning Star Staff

What most people might consider garbage forms the basis for a new work by two Vernon artists. Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante and her 19-year-old son Maxwell Sterry have created an outdoor installation entitled Pieces of What, currently displayed as the third in the Kelowna Art Gallery’s artist’s garden project series. The installation is located in the gallery’s Rotary Courtyard. “Max and I spent last winter making spherical shapes of clean trash, creating three transparent columns, measuring from eightto-12 feet,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. The pieces of clean trash are attached to fishing line so that patterns of shapes and colours visually spin in the air in the centre of the courtyard, said KAG curator Liz Wylie, adding the installation is fitting for both mother and son, as it focusses on architectural elements. “Both of them are passionate about architecture, and Sanchez de Bustamante has worked for several years on commissions for site-specific creations and installations

Vernon’s Maxwell Sterry, 19, along with his mom, Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante, have turned trash into art with their installation, Pieces of What, currently on display at the Kelowna Art Gallery. of ceramics in architectural spaces,” she said. The installation is also surrounded by a real vegetable garden planted in graffiti painted pots, which Sanchez de Bustamante

calls the Italian garden as the vegetables being grown can be made into an Italianstyle sauce. “The whole installation has a feeling of an

urban garden created for the community... We have decided to share the harvest with the guests visiting the gallery garden,” she said. A well-known artist in Vernon, Sanchez de Bustamante creates architectural tiles at her Ashpa Naira Gallery and studio located above Westside Road. She also runs Arte Funktional, a contemporary art gallery in Kelowna. The public art installation at the KAG not only bonded mother and son, but was also a sort of farewell project. “It was a great experience for both of us, taking it as a farewell time to Maxwell, who will be going to architecture school at McGill University in Montreal in September,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. “As a mother, I hope the experience will allow him to open his wings wider, to be able to fly higher.” The public can meet both artists at an opening reception for Pieces of What at the KAG Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. Both will give a talk at 7 p.m. The installation will be up at the gallery until April, 2016. The gallery is located at 1315 Water St. downtown Kelowna. More information is available at kelownaartgallery.com or call 250-762-2226.

ACNO launches new arts website

Winning Art

Morning Star Staff

The Arts Council of the North Okanagan has announced the launch of a new website dedicated to promote and showcase local arts and cultural groups and organizations. The need for a dedicated website and online arts and cultural community calendar was Mary Jo O’Keefe directly expressed as a high need during the ACNO group members forum April 30. Another action that came from the forum was the development of a strategic plan for the arts council.

Rhiannon Davies, 13, of Cherryville shows her painting of her pet peacock, Jamie, which won the People’s Choice Award at the Monashee Arts Council photo contest during Lumby Days.

Artists have a feel for felt The Lake Country Art Gallery presents large-scale felted works for its next exhibition, opening July 8. Felted is an exhibition of fibre works by Art Felt Collaborative members Amy Burkard, Diane Goossens, Judith Mueller, Alice Pallett and Violet Racz, who came together in April 2014 through their shared love of felting. “I saw the potential of felting to smash many boundaries: two dimensional or three dimensional, or anything in between,” said Pallett. Made of natural fibres such as wool, alpaca, silk, bamboo, or synthetic fibres, felt is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibres together. It is a very physical process that involves tools such as washboards, hand sanders, screen mesh, bubble wrap, soap and water. Feltmaking is still practiced by nomadic people in Central Asia and ties into the stories of Saint Clement and Saint Christopher who, while fleeing persecution, packed their sandals with wool to prevent blisters. At the end of their journey, the movement and sweat had turned the wool into felt socks. The Art Felt Collaborative meet regularly and feedback ranges from the inspiration and risk taking each artist experiences. Goossens, for example, came to the group with more of a focus on wearable art, but has branched out to include more sculptural forms. Pallett, Burkard and Mueller all come to felting from a fine art background. Gallery visitors will have a chance to hear about all the nuances and techniques the Art Felt Collaborative use at an artist talk July 15 at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Gallery visitors are also invited to an artist demo day Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when all five artists will be in the gallery demonstrating how they make their work. Felted opens on July 8 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. All are welcome. The artists will be in attendance. Also opening July 8 is the Lake Country Art Gallery’s new pop-up exhibition space, which will feature the work of students from the gallery’s summer art camp, Photographing Lake Country, led by Enderby artist Zev Tiefenbach. The Lake Country Art Gallery is located at 10356A Bottom Wood Lake Rd. Visit lakecountryartgallery.ca for more information.

“The board of directors of the arts council is very excited and pleased to be able to showcase all the wonderful cultural activities and events that take place throughout the year in one easy to navigate website. Our members have been asking for this and we are very pleased with the result. I hope everyone comes out to help us celebrate this accomplishment,” said ACNO president Mary Jo O’Keefe. The website is designed for easy navigation and arts and cultural groups can easily enter their events and activities into the calendar. “The website calendar will be a powerful tool for arts groups in choosing a date for their event by checking what activi-

ties are planned around the date. This could easily be used for collaboration and partnering opportunities by joining forces to create a larger inclusive event,” said O’Keefe. The arts council is unveiling the website on Canada Day Wednesday from 3 to 4 p.m. at the Vernon Community Arts Centre in Polson Park. The public is invited to interact and see the site on a large TV monitor. In addition to unveiling the website, the ACNO and VCAC are hosting their Canada Day celebrations, which includes games, activities, face painting and artisan booths from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The new website can be found at www. acno.ca.

Good beach reads

riveting mystery novel and a hot summer day on a white sandy beach go together like a hotdog and mustard. And finding a compelling mystery to read is as easy as finding a spot on the sand. It is the most popular genre among readers in this country and several Canadian authors are masters of the art. The Wolves of St. Peter’s (2013) by Gina Buonaguro and Janice Kirk is an intriguing tale of art, young love and betrayal, set amid the glory and venal corruption of Rome in 1508. When young Francesco Angeli sees a golden-haired woman being pulled from the Tiber on a rainy morning, he is shocked to discover that he knows her. Francesco is a reluctant houseboy of Michelangelo, engaged in painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and much prefers the more sophisticated company of Raphael and the artistic circle that regularly gathers at the home of Imperia, who runs a brothel in the shadow of the Vatican. The woman in the river is one of Imperia’s ladies and Francesco finds himself drawn into a search for the truth about her death. Meanwhile, rising waters flood the city’s streets and Romans stream into the Coliseum to escape

the deluge as ravenous wolves descend from the hills to stalk the city. And Francesco follows a deepening mystery from the backstreets to the pope’s inner sanctum and gradually realizes the danger and corruption that lurks behind even the most beautiful of facades. The plot of A Siege of Bitterns (2014) by Steve Burrows does not seem plausible or even possible, at least at first glance – a murder plot that revolves around bird watching. But the Oshawa author turns the trick in dazzling fashion. The setting is the small town of Saltmarsh in Britain’s famed Norfolk marshes, located in the heart of the best birding region in the country. Newly appointed police inspector Domenic Jejeune, an expatriate Canadian who has won accolades for his crime-busting exploits in his adopted country, is reassigned to Saltmarsh. The problem is that he is torn between two worlds. He would much rather watch birds than be a detective. He soon finds

himself investigating the grisly murder of a renowned ecological activist, an investigation his ambitious police superintendent believes will light a blaze of welcome publicity. But she begins to doubt Jejeune and his theory that the murder involves a feud over bird watching lists. A second murder muddies the water and Jejeune must deal with unwelcome public attention, the mistrust of colleagues and his own insecurities. The Devil’s Making (2013) by Sean Haldane is a taut historical mystery set in British Columbia in late 1868. Chad Hobbes, a recent Oxford graduate and former divinity student who switched to the study of law, arrives in the colonial capital to earn enough of a stake to launch him a career when he returns to London. But the boom times in Victoria ended with the gold rush and there is little work for a man with legal training who hasn’t yet taken the bar exam. Hobbes takes a job as a constable, at the suggestion of Judge Matthew Bailey Begbie, and soon establishes a reputation for his insight and fairness. When the brutally mutilated body of Dr. McCrory is found near a seasonal camp for Tsimshian Indians, the young man’s inherent sense of justice butts up against the prejudices of the colony. The police arrest Wiladzap, a Tsimshian chief and medicine man, for the murder. But Hobbes, noting discrepancies in the evidence, believes the Tsimshian chief is likely innocent of the crime. And as he digs deeper into the case, he discovers hidden layers of the society around him and a wealth of people engaged in mesmerism, phrenology and sexualmystical magnetization, who might have benefitted from the doctor’s death. These three titles and many more are available at your Okanagan Regional Library, www.orl.bc.ca.

Runaway Moon hosts camp Morning Star Staff

Kids can enjoy some time in the shade while being creative at Runaway Moon Theatre’s summer arts day camp. In the Shade runs July 6 to 10 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “Children ages eight to 13 are invited to join us in having fun making things, creating stories and performing,” said Runaway Moon’s artistic director Cathy Stubington. “Activities encourage campers to express their creativity and learn about this wonderful place we live in.” Campers will also help in the creation of a community project in Enderby. The outdoor sculpture will be decorated with birds, trees, bugs, flowers, and things that people do at different times of year.

Sing at the tattoo

Singers can once again be a part of the Okanagan Military Tattoo choir. Molly Boyd is conducting the OMT choir, which will perform at the second annual tattoo, July 25 and 26 at Kal Tire Place. “This year, the choir is limited to 75 people,” said Boyd. “Anyone is welcome to join – a love of singing is the only requirement.” There will be five rehearsals and two performances, starting at All Saints Anglican Church July 15 at 7 p.m., where choir members will be registered, given an ID badge, and music will be distributed (music will be sung in unison only). Subsequent rehearsals take place at Kal Tire Place July 22 at 7 p.m., July 24 from 6 to 7 p.m. and July 25 at 10:30 a.m. July 25 at 1 p.m. is the full dress rehearsal. Attendance at all five rehearsals is expected. The choir will sing a selection of well known Second World War songs, accompanied by the Vancouver Naval Veterans Band, as well as the National Anthem, The Maple Leaf Forever, Amazing Grace and Highway of Heroes, with massed bands. Those who want to be a part of the tattoo choir can contact Boyd at 250542-4735 for more info.

“The project has been inspired by observations that many people (including children at the local schools) have shared in our Calendario project,” said Stubington. During the week, participants will create lino prints to be used as designs for the sculpture. They will also be able to take home their own set of homemade greeting cards. “We will explore the agricultural seasons through movement, expression and choreography, leading to a set of dances about the seasonal tasks and games that we play right here in Enderby/Splatsin,” said Stubington. “What we create may become part of a celebration when the sculpture is ready.” Instructors at the camp include dancer Amanda Wooden

Papillhau, who has recently returned to Enderby after spending 10 years teaching and learning dance in France, local outdoor enthusiast Teresa Christian as well as Stubington and artist Deb Humphries, who will help with the design activities related to the Calendario project. Musician and dancer Hana Friedman will serve as youth assistant. Cost for participants is on a sliding scale. Runaway Moon offers family rates and subsidies to make their camps affordable for everyone. For more info, contact info@runawaymoon.org or call 250-838-9890.

HEALTH TIP TERESA SNYDER

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

Magnesium is involved in over 300 chemical reactions in our bodies. These reactions affect heart rhythm, our bones and our immune system. The average adult female needs 420mg daily (310mg for men). We get some magnesium from our food but many people are still deficient. Supplements are helpful here. A new baby in the family? Congratulations! Just a reminder to keep the child on his back in the crib, don’t use a blankets and pillows and dress the baby in a onepiece sleeper. Also keep soft toys and other objects out of the sleep area and don’t let anyone smoke around the baby. New babies should sleep in an area near where the parents sleep but NOT with the parents. All these suggestions will minimize SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Even though electronic cigarette are not legal for sale in Canada, some people still use them. One of the problems with these devices is that there is no regulations about what they contain besides the liquid nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively new so there is a lack of long-term scientific evidence to support their safety. There still is concern that their use will lead to nicotine addiction. Sometimes, people who are hard of hearing don’t let on this is so. We want to know about it. When talking about a new prescription, we want to be sure you hear the information as well as read it in the handout. Hearing and seeing helps learning. If your hearing isn’t great, we can always move to a quieter area of the store. We want to make sure you get the whole story about your medication.

Local designer follows her dreams LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff

Cutting fabric in a family friend’s garage in Vernon is worlds away from where Raji Aujla was six months ago. The founder of the fashion label Aujla was working as cultural curator for a private art gallery in Toronto. She had what many would believe to be a dream job, interviewing and networking with the likes of Ethan Hawke and Gloria Vanderbilt, but she never felt like she really fit in. On a trip to a small cabin in Newfoundland with her best friend, she decided she was done expelling all of her time and energy on a job she wasn’t truly passionate about. “Literally on the first day, I sat down and was looking out at the ocean and I said ‘I’m going to quit my job’ and it was just so natural,” said Aujla. By the fourth day of that vacation, she called her mom to ask if she could move home, and after 11 years in Toronto, she made the move back to Vernon to work on her clothing line until she starts law school. Things for the 30-year-old fashion designer have taken off from there. Originally she was slated to start law school in September, which she is taking to educate herself in international law to help navigate her non-profit subsidiary, the Sikya Project, but orders and interest for her clothing have been coming in after she was picked up by Fashion Week in Toronto in 2012. Building on her label’s success, after a positive experience at Eco-Fashion Week in Vancouver, she has decided to put school on hold until 2016. Aujla is determined to have both her business and the Sikya Project, which is going to provide educational facilities to developing countries, as self-sufficient as possible before throwing herself into law school. Partial proceeds of the line she is working on will go to the Sikya Project, with her goal to build a school in Pakistan by December 2016. “The reason why I focused on South Asia for the first school is linguistics. I speak the language. I can go there and know that I’m not getting screwed over. It just makes it easier and my parents are from India, so we can make all our mistakes there, because there are certainly going to be many, and then go from there,” said Aujla “I would really like to go into Sri Lanka. They have gone through such a civil unrest and those types of war-torn countries,

Vernon’s Raji Aujla works on her latest design. The former journalist’s clothing collection was recently part of Fashion Week in Vancouver and will be previewed at a Gastown store from July 9 to 12. where they have so little infrastructure that remains, is where I think you require educa-

tional facilities most.” Her background in journalism inspires

her charity work but was also the muse for the utilitarian look of her clothing designs. “When you have that journalism bug, you are constantly inspired by stories and interested in learning about things happening around the world, so I’m getting a lot inspiration from my news reading at this point,” she said. Utilizing contacts she has made in Toronto and Vancouver, Aujla soaks up advice and information like a sponge. Her ability to ask questions and make plans has been a trait she has been known for since she was a Grade 4 student at Mission Hill Elementary, when she approached the school counsellor to find out the best way to reach her career goals. As of now, Aujla is a family business. Her mom, a former seamstress, helps with the sewing and accounting, and family friend and local seamstress Rosie (Reshma) of Casual Wear, who sewed for NASA for 15 years, helps sew. Her older sister is her publicist and her younger sister helps with cutting when she is in town. After the birth of her niece and nephew, she was inspired to make sure the world is preserved for them, so she has worked to make sure Aujla is environmentally responsible, using only eco-friendly fabrics like bamboo, hemp and cotton. The collection they are working on now showed at Fashion Week in Vancouver and will be available to preview and sale at Alfie Italia in Gastown July 9 to 12. The clothing will also be available on the online store within the next month. “It seems that these little decisions that I’ve made are growing at an exponential rate that I wasn’t prepared for, now we aren’t saying no to anything, we are just kind of riding the wave and I think when you live in a community like Vernon you can do that. You can have an idea and there is literally no end to where you can find support, whether it is Service Canada offering business development courses, or just calling up a business leader and asking to meet for coffee,” said Aujla. “Vernon is very accommodating and supportive that is why we located our head office here. “There are business opportunities here and there is a way for the community to benefit if we ever open a factory or start expanding the business line, which I think will happen because of the response we have been getting.”

YOU AND THE LAW® BUYING A HOUSE? PROTECT YOURSELF

© Janice Mucalov, LL.B. and George Mucalov, LL.B. The house you’ve decided to buy looks in good shape. Of course it’s expensive, and you have to pay transfer tax, legal fees and moving costs on top – so should you bother with an inspection, one more cost? Absolutely! Peter and Anne (names changed) were looking for a house for their young family. Peter and his dad looked at one they liked on land not far from Peter’s dad’s home in Chilliwack. An offer for the property was accepted by the owners, the Millers, for $1 million. The offer was subject to the buyer getting and approving an inspection report against, in effect, any costly or significant defects. The buyer’s inspection report identified some deficiencies, but nothing about moisture damage and the inspection condition was removed. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Melissa Dobernigg, of BX Press, talks about the story behind the names of the ciders during a tour of the orchard and cidery by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. Wednesday.

Investing in agriculture Morning Star Staff

Local agriculture was front and centre. On Wednesday, the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. held a regional agriculture tour. “This was a great opportunity to learn about innovative projects in agriculture in your region, and learn more about the kinds of projects that the Investment Agriculture Foundation has funded in these areas and across the province,” said Tamara Leigh, senior communications strategist. Among the stops was Jealous Fruits in Lake Country and Dobernigg Orchards/BX Press in the BX. With help from IAF, David and Melissa Dobernigg led a study to determine the market potential for ciders. They conducted market research and are sharing this information so other growers can more accurately determine feasibility and minimize risk for their own operations. “The project’s potential extends far beyond the Dobernigg’s backyard, however,” said Leigh. “The entrepreneurial couple believe that the development of a craft cidery region is an opportunity for growers throughout the valley to not only add revenue streams to their business but also to

utilize cull fruit normally wasted and reserve their best fruit for the fresh market.” According to Melissa Dobernigg, a craft cidery region could significantly boost agri-tourism in the valley. “Craft cider is a big trend right now, especially just across the border,” she said. “This could really open the doors for agri-toursim and help growers attract people to the farm.” The Doberniggs and other growers are contemplating forming an industry-wide organization representing cider makers and cider variety growers. “There’s a real spirit of collaboration among cider enthusiasts. We’re all excited to see this unfold in the valley,” said Melissa Dobernigg. “There’s been a lot of uncertainty in the industry lately, but this will help us move forward with more confidence.” The Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. was established in 1996 as an industry-led, not-forprofit organization in the province. “Our focus is to work with clients, industry and funding partners and invest in projects that have the potential to transform ideas into solutions,” said Leigh.

Some days afterwards, Peter’s dad heard that mould and rot had been discovered in the framing a few years earlier during an insurance claim investigation. The Millers rebuffed attempts for a more extensive Jay examination and said the insurance claim problem had been fixed. They also refused to set aside any money from the sale proceeds to deal with any problems and threatened to pocket the deposit if the sale didn’t go through. So the purchase of the property was completed, with Peter and Anne telling the Millers they’d do a detailed inspection and give the Millers an estimate of the repair costs. The house was discovered to have widespread rot and mould in the outside walls due to ongoing issues with water getting in from two problem areas. The repair costs to replace the cladding and some of the framing came to over $140,000.

The court highlighted that a buyer has to meet a high standard to investigate potential problems with a finished house – if a reasonable inspection by a qualified person would have brought them to light, they are “patent” defects that a seller need not point out to the buyer, who’d be stuck with them. The rule is still very much “buyer beware.” But in this case, the court said the Millers were responsible for the buyer’s $140,000plus repair costs and part of their legal costs. Here, inspections by two qualified inspectors didn’t initially reveal the defects because home inspectors are limited in what they can do – they can’t take invasive measures like drilling test holes or removing foam insulation to look behind. So the defects here were “latent” or hidden. Sellers who know or should reasonably have known of such latent defects have to tell buyers about them. The Millers had been told after the insurance claim inspection Hack that there was rot and mould in the structural framing due to ongoing problems of water getting in. The estimate to fix them was $50-60,000 or more. But they made only inadequate makeshift repairs. And there were water problems with the structural framing in another part of the house which they also didn’t deal with adequately. In addition, the Millers’ answers in the property disclosure statement about what they knew about water problems were, at best, misleading. They mentioned minor past issues but said nothing about the two major problem areas they knew about. This was deceptive and amounted to “fraudulent misrepresentation.” Written by Janice and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with contribution by Davidson Pringle LLP.

ly spread invasive species in our tracks,” said Gail Wallin, executive director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C. “We are encouraging people to Play, Clean, Go – to ensure their gear is clean to avoid letting seeds or small insects or animals hitch a ride on clothing, equipment, pets and vehicles. It is also important to only use and burn local firewood to avoid transporting pests in wood as you move from one location to another. Together we can all take actions to prevent the spread of harmful invasive species.” ISCBC is encouraging people to take five steps to help prevent the spread of invasive species: 1. Arrive with clean gear: Before leaving home, take time to inspect and remove dirt, plants, and bugs from clothing, boots, gear, pets and vehicles. 2. Stay on designated trails: Keep to set trails when walking, hiking, running, biking or riding your horse or ATV to avoid tracking invasive plants that may be along roadside or in the fields. 3. Burn local firewood: Buy it Where you Burn It reminds campers to not move firewood, because pests that attack trees can hide in firewood that you bring home. 4. Use weed-free or certified hay: When horseback riding, use weed-free or certified hay (or straw when alternatives are not available), because weed seeds in infested hay can be blown offsite as you move down the road or left behind in animal waste. 5. Leave clean: Before leaving your campsite or activity, inspect your belongings, tent and vehicles, and remove any dirt, seeds, plants or bugs that may have clung to you, your pets, or equipment.

Family Busines s With F A amily Values

Celebrates 25 Years in Vernon!

This year Bannister GM – Vernon is celebrating 25 years in Vernon. In 1990 Lyn and Joanne Bannister moved their family from Barrhead, Alberta to Vernon when they purchased what was then, Vernon Motor Products (established in 1949 by the Gee Family). With their three children, Mark, Chad and Mary-Jo passionate about the family business, they decided to move to a community they knew their children would want to come back to….and they did. All three children live in the Okanagan Valley with their families. Mary-Jo and her husband, Darryl Payeur operate Bannister GM – Vernon. The Bannister Family and the Bannister Automotive Group have grown over the past 25 years. The Bannister Automotive Group now owns 8 dealerships throughout BC and Alberta.

Bannister GM – Vernon remains at the core of the Family Business.

Bannister GM – Vernon is respectfully known as the Flagship store in the family business. The store has seen a lot of changes over the years, but our strong family values have always remained the same. We feel very grateful to our employees and the support of their families. Bannister GM wouldn’t be what it is today without our staff’s dedication and commitment day after day. Thank you Vernon, we’re proud to be a part of such an incredible community!

The Bannister Family invites you to come celebrate with us!

Sunday, June 28, 2015 - The Morning Star C3

www.vernonmorningstar.com

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Morning Star reporter Richard Rolke has been covering the North Okanagan for 25 years.

DEDICATED JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff

While the days of film, darkrooms, and waxing copy are ancient history, two faces have persevered in the evolving world of news in Vernon. Celebrating a quarter of a century at The Morning Star this year, are senior reporter Richard Rolke and advertising consultant Lynnaya Filbrandt. A 22-year-old, fresh out of journalism at Kwantlen College, Rolke was hired before he even finished his courses. “The paper was just going through transition from two days a week to three days a week,” said Rolke, whose name continues to dominate the bylines of the paper 25-years later. “The sudden surge in staffing was huge.” So much, in fact, that the senior reporter who met Rolke at the door had only been in his position for all of two weeks. Rolke, originally from Westbank, moved to Vernon for the job at the paper, which was then located on 29th Street, across from the old Baker’s Dozen. “There’s a Ukrainian restaurant there now,” said Rolke of DJ’s perogies. Just a few days later, Filbrandt walked through the door to start a position in the classifieds department. She was only 18, just out of high school, working nights at Kelly O’ Bryan’s and still had her Princess Silver Star XXX crown. It was a different atmosphere inside The Morning Star office back then. “We had like maybe five computers in the building, everything was done manually,” said Filbrandt, now 43 and recently re-married with a 21-year-old son. “We had the darkroom and had to process all our own photos.” Rolke adds: “The fax was new technology. We used it quite a bit for getting press releases. It was very difficult getting information those days. Now you just go onto the Net.” Kindergarten cut and paste skills came

in handy for production where copy was waxed and exacto knives were used to slice it to size. “None of that computer stuff that we do now,” said Rolke, now 47 and married with two grown children. It wasn’t just the newsroom that looked different. Rolke and Filbrandt recall a much smaller community 25 years ago. “When I came to town the only commercial areas of Vernon there were was downtown, 30th Avenue and the Village Green Centre,” said Rolke, adding that the Vernon Square didn’t even exist. Neither did the Fruit Union Plaza, which was still the old packing house. “Across the street from it, where the Warehouse store is, that was the Dairyland production plant.” Although the physical look of Vernon has changed significantly, Rolke says the people haven’t. “The heart and passion of people is incredible,” said the long-time Coldstream resident, who thinks of the entire North Okanagan as his home, but has a soft spot for his rural district. “The luckiest part of this job is being able to consider the North Okanagan home,” said Rolke. Filbrandt, who was born and raised in Vernon, agrees: “The city hasn’t gotten too big, it’s still maintained its charm.” And the same goes for changes at the newspaper over the years. From moving to its current office on 25th Avenue, to the switch to digital and now the online news (at vernonmorningstar.com) a lot of change has taken place. But the job remains the same. “People want to know what’s going on,” said Rolke. “And the newspaper provides a real broad snapshot of what’s going on.” “People in this community love it and they’ll read it from cover to cover,” said Filbrandt, noting the number of calls the office gets on a Sunday morning if someone hasn’t gotten their paper delivered.

Lynnaya Filbrandt (right), a Morning Star advertising representative for 25 years, discusses an advertisement with creative consultant Lisa Stensrude.

Continued from C3 Then there are the bonds created, both in the office, and out in the community. “Everybody’s kind of just become family,” said Filbrandt , who has worked in just about every corner of the office and knows people almost everywhere she goes. For Rolke, many of his own close friends, and influences in life, were formed through connections at work. “What starts out as a simple interview can go on to touch your life.” Staples at The Morning Star like these two have also helped touch the lives of others. Rolke has been honoured over the years with recognition for all his work on the

job. Among various community and political groups who have acknowledged him, he earned the media award from the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, which meant a lot to the grandson and great grandson of orchardists. But he also puts a lot of effort into the community outside of the office. He has been on the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation since 2001, spent 13 years organizing caddies for the North Okanagan Community Life Society’s golf tournament, and is the unofficial dad of Girl Guides. “I just help out where I can, the community – the North Okanagan – has been really good to me.”

The Morning Star is no different than a growing family. Start off in a small home and, as the family grows, move into bigger accommodations.

Officially opening in June 1988, The Morning Star’s first home was a cramped office space on one of the top floors of what is now the VantageOne Credit Union in downtown Vernon on 33rd Avenue.

Continued from C8 “I’d be typing a story on a computer, (former production manager) Wayne King would be behind me with the drapes closed working on the PMT (photo mechanical transfer) machine, and (former circulation manager Rooke) Kathy would be in the corner drumming up carriers for the routes” said current Morning Star managing editor Glenn Mitchell, who was the paper’s original sports editor in 1988. The office was the former home of the Real Estate Review publication, operated by one of The Morning Star’s four co-founders, Wayne Porter. “We were only there for awhile while our new offices were being finished,” said Mitchell. “We were there maybe a month.” The Morning Star was moving into a brand new building on 29th Street, across from the old Baker’s Dozen outlet. The original staff of 11 who survived the close quarters in the credit union building couldn’t wait to get to the new digs. “I remember going to check the cement being poured at the new building,” smiled Mitchell, who would leave the new building in 1989 to become editor at the Salmon Arm Observer. When Mitchell returned to The Morning Star, as managing editor in 1991, the paper had moved again. While the building on 29th Street was roomier, it was without a press. The paper was sent out to local companies to be printed. When a building that once housed a pipe manufacturing company became available on 25th Avenue in 1991, The Morning Star had a new home where it has remained since. And this time, there was room to add a regional press centre. “Today the press prints papers from all over the Interior,” said Mitchell. Renovations have been a part of the Black Press facility. The building’s top floor, originally home to the production department and dark room, was renovated in the early 2000s and now houses the editorial department, along with a lunch room and first aid room. The press expanded as The Morning Star went from publishing two days a week to its current run of three times each week.

The Morning Star was bronzed at the annual Ma Murray B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association awards in Richmond. For the second time in three years, with a second-place finish sandwiched in between, The Morning Star finished third in the Newspaper Excellence Award for the highest circulation category. “Top-three in the province, against a lot of big, strong papers, is tremendous recognition for the work our entire staff does every week,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen. “To finish in the top three, again, as the best newspaper for our circulation in B.C., is very rewarding.” Said the judges: “The Morning Star is a clean, easy-to-read, solid community newspaper. Readers are greeted with excellent production quality, and thoughtful news selection and ad placement. “In addition to its pleasing layout and

look, the front page is refreshing in its ability to present a fully realized story without it needing to be continued elsewhere.” The Morning Star finished with a total of 79.83 points (out of 100) in the judging, one full point behind the second-place winner, Surrey Now, and more than three points ahead of the fourth-place paper, the Vancouver Courier. “What really set The Morning Star apart is its strong editorial page and feature news stories,” said the judges. “Arts and sports coverage is thorough and wide ranging, and the classifieds section is being incredibly well-used by the community. Fantastic.” Kamloops This Week topped the division with a score of 85. The Morning Star also recently won a second-place honour for Best Holiday Edition for its circulation category in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s annual awards.
