Storm batters Coldstream area RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Parts of Coldstream were on high alert as a massive storm toppled trees and fuelled flooding. At about 9 p.m., Monday, a combination of thunder, lightning, intense rain and hail descended on the neighbourhood by the municipal office. “It hit hard and fast. There was no warning,” said Dave Sturgeon, Coldstream fire chief. Lightning tore apart a tree across from the Coldstream Market, forcing a pair of cyclists to hunker down inside the store, which was pitch black as power was knocked out to the area. Next to the Women’s Institute Hall, occupants of a duplex evacuated as a 120-foot tree precariously hung over the structure. Farther up Kalamalka Road, the Wisbey family’s well-treed property evolved into chaos. “It was like dominoes, one coming down after the other,” said Brandie Wisbey, who was home with her husband and two daughters. “I can honestly say I was scared. We went from leaving to get into the basement now. It was the safest place.” On Tuesday morning, the Wisbeys began cleaning up 12 willow or maple trees that were either split in half by wind or had roots pulled out. On Birch Lane, Doug Cuthbert had to contend with large limbs on

Elsewhere in Coldstream, a willow tree slammed into Ed Lifton’s home on Buchanan Road.
“It took a corner of the roof out,” he said. Beyond the wind and falling trees, the heavy rain led to significant water pooling up on Kalamalka Road and in yards, and there were some reports of localized flooding. Coldstream firefighters, with
assistance from the Lavington department, responded to 11 calls during the storm. “B.C. Hydro was following us and cutting lines so they didn’t energize when they touched the ground,” said Sturgeon. “It was a trying night but once we got a sys-

Heat scorches record book RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A weekend of extreme heat has burned a hole into the record books and fuelled a campfire ban. Temperatures soared both Saturday and Sunday, forcing residents into air-conditioned homes or to cool off at local beaches. “It was a sizzling hot weekend,” said Lisa Coldwells, an Environment Canada meteorologist. The high Saturday was 37.3, knocking out the old June 27 record of 35.9 set in 2006. For Sunday, the high was 39.3 compared to the previous record of 35.4 June 28, 2008. “Pockets of people may have had 40 but we have to go with the official (monitoring) location,” said Coldwells at Coldstream Ranch. The normal daytime high for this time of the year is 25. While there was rain Monday, a campfire ban takes effect Friday at noon. “Conditions remain warm and we will see a significant drying trend throughout the rest of the week,” said Coldwells. “It’s perfect summer weather but not great if you are trying to keep the forest from burning.” The fire danger rating is currently high throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, with some areas rated

extreme. “Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires,” said Kelsey Winter, with the B.C. Wildfire Service. Beyond campfires, the ban applies to open fires of any size, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burning barrels. It covers all B.C. Parks and Crown land. All North Okanagan municipalities and regional districts have also banned campfires, as well as the Okanagan Indian Band and Splatsin First Nation. Fines and jail time can be issued for those found violating the prohibition. Environment Canada is forecasting a high of 29 today, followed by 33 Thursday, 34 Friday and 32 Saturday. “When you are thinking of temperatures in the Okanagan, think of warm temperatures,” said Coldwells. To report a wildfire or an open burning violation, call 1 800 6635555 or *5555 on a cell phone.

Dirtbike accident claims local men ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Alcohol and no helmets are believed to be contributing factors in the deaths of two North Okanagan men in a dirtbike incident Sunday. James Tyler Folden, 23, of Lumby, and Trinity James Dale Bright, 24, originally from Cherryville but living in the Canmore, Alta. area, were
killed in the accident which Vernon RCMP were alerted to at 6:30 a.m. Sunday. “The dirtbike was travelling northbound on East Vernon Road, near the intersection of Black Rock Road, when it left the roadway and collided with a parked utility trailer on private property,” said Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy.
The B.C. Coroners Service identified Folden as the driver of the dirtbike and Bright the passenger. “It does not appear they were wearing helmets and alcohol is believed to be a factor,” said Noseworthy. While police were alerted to the crash at 6:30 a.m., the investigation is showing the accident likely happened an
hour or two before. “There were no witnesses to the crash but we are trying to speak to witnesses and trace back what they were doing that night,” said Noseworthy. “We’re trying to track down who they were with, when they left and who saw them last.” The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate the deaths.

Funtastic swings up a major success players deal with the heat. “We built a misting station near the kids’ playground that was a huge hit. One guy enjoyed it so much he laid down in the station to cool off,” said Yee. One of Funtastic’s sponsors handed out bottled water in the beverage gardens Saturday and Sunday. Only one player was treated for heat issues in Vernon, said Yee, and that was on Monday. “She got cooled off and was taken to medical services to be checked out,” he said.

You know it’s been a hot weekend for ball players when they enjoy playing in a surprise downpour. The 31st annual Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and Music Festival opened Friday with hot temperatures, got rained on Monday morning before closing with sunshine, blue skies and more heat Monday afternoon. “Those playing on Monday were greeted with rain and they loved playing in it, it cooled things off,” laughed outgoing Funtastic executive director Wee Yee. “The sun came out for the afternoon again.” More than 200 softball teams took part in games in Vernon while Armstrong and Enderby hosted 32-team events.

After two years in the position, Yee handed in his resignation prior to the tournament. “It’s been a very good experience and quite the endeavour with Funtastic,” said Yee, who came to Vernon from Calgary where he worked with the world-famous Calgary Stampede for many years. “Building a better community through sports is a great mission statement, and the entire executive and board strives for that. “It’s been going for 31 years, that says a lot.

Landing advocate recalled RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
A community advocate is being remembered for his passion and dedication. Alan Hill, the former Okanagan Landing electoral area director, died June 26 at the age of 93. ““He was always very committed to his causes,” said Wayne McGrath, former Vernon mayor. Born in England, Hill came to the region to work for Okanagan Telephone in 1957 and he moved to Okanagan Landing in the early 1960s. He became active in the Okanagan Landing Community Association, and Alan Hill served as president for five years. On behalf of the association, Hill negotiated to purchase the former Canadian Pacific terminus in 1970. It is now known as Paddlewheel Park. “There is a sense of pride mainly because the newspapers of the day were skeptical about who would use it. One has to look at the use now to see it is one of the best parks in the area,” said Hill in a 1999 interview. Hill, remained an influence within the Landing association for decades. “He was the go-to-guy for direction and history. He was the backbone,” said Val Heuman, a former association president. In 1985, Hill was elected Area A director and
he represented Okanagan Landing at the Regional District of North Okanagan for three terms. Joanne Kineshanko, who was a new Lumby director in the early 1990s, recalls going with Hill to tour properties proposed for development. “He was such a mentor to me and he taught me the importance of doing research,” she said. In the late 1980s, Hill and Save Our Lakes fought Vernon’s installation of a sewer outfall pipe in Okanagan Lake. He would return to the issue when the pipe was used in 1999, and again in 2013 when the city proposed discharges of reclaimed water that exceeded its need for irrigating fields and parks. In 1993, Hill pushed for Okanagan Landing to form its own municipality. But, in the end, a majority of voters decided to annex into the city, bringing an end to his political career. In the 1999 interview, Hill didn’t apologize for being outspoken about Okanagan Landing. “It always had its own identity and it was a shame for it to be lost and swallowed up. There is something about a little independence and to be proud of where you come from,” he said. McGrath and Hill maintained a friendship despite opposing views on annexation. “He was also very generous and he had a wide variety of friends and was loyal,” said McGrath. Hill, who was involved in Toastmasters, is survived by his wife Inge. A funeral service will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church.

Liberal MP calls for change RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The deputy leader of the federal Liberal Party insists Canadian voters want a new government. Ralph Goodale, a Regina MP, spoke to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce at the Prestige Hotel Saturday. “The voting public in Canada is more volatile and open to change than any other time in Canadian history,” he said. “Liberals are happy the 2015 election is likely to be a change election where the campaign will really matter.” Recent polls have shown the Liberals and ruling Conservatives slipping in popularity, with the official opposition NDP increasing in strength. However, Goodale says he isn’t concerned. “I never get excited when the polls go up and down. It’s a reflection of the volatility

There is a desire for change and when there is a desire

RCMP investigate stolen vehicle ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP continue to investigate a stolen SUV found abandoned and set on fire.

for improved access to post-secondary education. “About 52 per cent of Canadians have some level of post-secondary achievement. But the job forecasts are that 70 per cent of the jobs available will require post-secondary. It’s a challenge we should accept with real gusto.” The Liberals’ economic platform also focuses on investments in science and technology and expanded focus on foreign trade. “Under Mr. (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper, 52 months of trade deficits have been recorded. We need a more successful marketing effort to catch up on those trade deficits.” Goodale also insists there is a need to balance economic development with the environment. “Canadians want success economics and intelligent environmental policy,” he said.

Vernon resident ready with a story ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Unaware, said Cormier, that he couldn’t read or write, the company made him a foreman. This would require him to work at a computer, a machine Cormier couldn’t turn

on, let alone read what was on the screen. “Guys would come in at 8 a.m. for their shift, I’d been there since 4 a.m. getting my stuff ready,” said Cormier. “I ended up having a nervous breakdown.” And, he admitted he was having problems with alcohol. So Cormier, son of an alcoholic father, was sent to see a doctor at an office building. The problem was, Cormier couldn’t read the doctor’s name and ended up in the office of a psychiatrist, who ended up convincing Cormier to attend Alcoholics Anonymous. “If you can’t read in the program, you don’t do very well,” said Cormier, who moved to Vancouver Island to be with his daughter, one of his four children. In Nanaimo, Cormier was completing AA’s 12-step program when he applied for welfare. The problem? He couldn’t fill out the form. Again, he asked for help and, again, Cormier said he was told he was in the right building. There was a literacy centre in an upstairs office. Cormier registered, wanting to learn how to read and, more importantly, how to write so
ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR
At 73, Vernon’s Omer Cormier hopes to publish a book and use the proceeds help others, the way he’s been helped in life. It was only 14 years ago that Cormier learned to read and write. he could fill out his forms. “I told them I wanted to watch CNN so I could know what was going on in the world,” laughed Cormier. “That was for three months.” He wanted to write stories, and Cormier said he had a ton of material to choose from. There was the alcoholic father who once promised him $720, a bike and a pair of shoes, but left on a hunting vacation and came back broke with a pair of black eyes, falling on the family floor. Cormier said that’s when he was planning to kill his dad
before his mom intervened. He could write about his four children, which he talks about with pride. He could have written about spending 20 years on a First Nations reserve and a neighbour named Jack, who first told Cormier he had a drinking problem, and credits Jack with saving his life. But no. The first thing Cormier did after learning to write was pen a letter to his sister, who did not know her brother was illiterate. This was the sister who made him a pair of cardboard box boots
after dad reneged on his promise. “My sister was in Moncton – she’s still there – she phoned me after she got the letter and was crying,” said Cormier. After the letter, Cormier wrote his first story, about a crow named Mona. He’s written many stories since about his life and people he’s met in his 73 years. One of his stories, The Legend of the Little People, was included in Maple Ridge’s Polar Expressions Publishing’s collection of short stories book called The Sun Shall
Rise. His goal now is to publish his own book and help others. “I want to publish a book about a person that could not read or write,” said Cormier, a clear reference to himself. “I want to donate portions of the money to people that need help to do the same things I did.” Helping people and writing are cathartic for Cormier, who pans for gold and fixes watches as hobbies. “I want to never stop helping people,” he said. “I’ve been helping them since I was sober.”
Writer recounts his love for the Maple Leaf Morning Star Staff
Editor’s note: Omer Cormier wrote this tribute to the Maple Leaf, published in 2013: Many years have passed before my eyes. I can still remember when I was just a little seed, dropped from the sky to the ground so that one day I would stand tall and proud just like my grandparents. I did not know about my family tree going back many years. My close relatives were living in B.C.; they were the giant Douglas fir, the biggest and tallest among all trees. I wanted to be the tallest, like the Douglas, but my parents said to me, ‘Son,
be proud to be a Maple. Our family trees are sweet, with sugar and many beautiful colours.’ My grandpa said to me that a long time ago, there were many, many of us in the family. My grandparents and their grandparents saw so many great tragedies. Parts of the world were out of sugar and there was no sweetness left and so many people came and bled us dry. They took our sap to use for sugar and many of our relatives died. Another time, people discovered the beauty of our trunks. Our flesh was hard and lovely. Everyone wanted to make furniture out of us. So, again, whole families
of Maple were slaughtered. One early morning, just as the sun was rising, I woke up and heard the sound of men in the forest. The next thing I knew, my grandfather and grandmother were lying on the ground. I was frightened. They dragged my grandparents away. “What’s going to become of me?” I thought. But I did grow tall and I stood on Alexander Muir’s property. In 1867, he wrote a song for the wonderful land where we grow. Today, on Canada Day, we all celebrate under the same flag – the beautiful Maple Leaf.

It’s a busy summer at Teen Junction Cara Brady
Our caring staff would like you to know we offer:
Morning Star Staff
From park days to water slides to the drive-in and running and hiking, it’s going to be a busy and fun summer for Teen Junction Youth Centre. “We’ll have our regular programming, open 2 to 6 p.m., with the addition of more excursions and park days at various locations around the community,” said Nicole Makohoniak, Teen Junction program coordinator. “The activities are free and open to all youth ages 13 to 18, but for some outings it’s limited because of funding and sponsorship. We want to offer the opportunity for youth to try some things they might not have done before, maybe because of the cost.” Chloe Hancock, 14, has been coming to the centre for several months and telling her friends about it. “I think this is going to be my favourite part of the summer. I went to a drive-in movie for the first time and I think it will be fun to go to the kangaroo park. And I like doing art. I’m going to keep coming here as long as I can,” she said. In addition to the park days, and special outings, youth can attend regular programming which includes snacks, dinner, access to board games, musical instruments, computers, the garden, bowling, basketball, birthday parties for frequent attendees, and gym, all supervised. Transportation to off-site activities from the centre is provided. “I started coming here about four years ago when friends told me about it. I had no idea it existed before. Now I tell people about it,” said Rory Peters, who at 20 is now a peer mentor and muchappreciated handyman. “I like helping other people out and it’s great to see the kids out and enjoying things. I think one of my favourite memories is when we went out to Ellison Park and spent the whole day swimming and had lunch there.” While many of the programs depend on sponsorship and donations, the youth are doing their own fundraiser this summer to go to the IPE. They will have bake sales and car washes and make and sell art hula hoops. “It was interesting when we were at the Sunshine Festival and a lot of former members came up to talk to us, some who have children of their own now, and told us that our programs or another youth program made a big difference in their lives,” said Makohoniuk. “The youth and staff are working on fall programs now. We hope to offer martial arts and yoga lessons and it would be wonderful if we had some local artists and musicians who would volunteer to offer lessons. We are happy to have any volunteers over 19 who can spend

Anyone can help by donating baking or supplies for programs, just ask first what is most needed.” People who would like to volunteer or make donations of cash or tickets/vouchers for activities can call Makohoniuk at 250-275-3117 or email info@junctionyouth.ca. See www.teenjunctionyouthcentre. ca. The centre also provides information and referrals to community service agencies for youth concerns. “We’re a place where teens can feel safe and accepted with positive mentors available to any youth ages 13 to 18. No teen should feel left out or alone,” said Wendy Aasen, executive director of Junction Literacy Centre, which manages Teen Junction.
The mighty Saskatoon
appy Canada Day. Hope you enjoy all the festivities the North Okanagan has to offer. July is a great month to take advantage of all the fruits and vegetables of our gardens. I can grow a lot of things but I just cannot grow good and large radishes like the ones I got at the Vernon Farmer’s Market the last few weeks. I will keep on trying and maybe one day I will learn the secret. When we were kids, we used to go to Jocelyne Sewell my father’s cousins to help during hay time at the farm on the outskirts of Quebec City. They didn’t have the equipment of today. As kids we used to go to the fields with the adults but stay out of their way. One thing we did was walk along the small ditches and pick Saskatoon berries. We called them “petites poires sauvages,” little wild pears. I don’t know where that name came from, but I always enjoyed the taste of these berries. When we lived in the Kootenays, I picked them in a couple spots where they
A GArdener’s diAry
were nice and juicy. A good time to pick Saskatoons is at 5 a.m. I now have my own Saskatoon forest right in our backyard. Somehow in the last six years, little seedlings have started to appear in different spots in the garden. Some of them, I transplanted and the others I just let grow where they chose. I just finished harvesting enough to freeze, but the harvest would have been much better if Tom had picked them. He can pick any fruit without eating it. This is impossible for me. I never thought about the health value of Saskatoons, so the other day I went on the internet and found The Saskatoon Berry Council of Canada. The fact that Saskatoon berries are relatively unknown in other parts of Canada and around the world is a real challenge for this industry. As a result, the market for Saskatoon berries is limited to the Prairie provinces and this is what the Saskatoon Berry Council of Canada is working towards changing. The health benefits of the Saskatoon berry are astounding. Nutritional and clinical studies indicate that the phytoingredients in Saskatoon berries fight cancer, heart disease, diabetes, oxidative stress, cholesterol, diverticulosis, inflammation and cognitive impairment.
According to the Saskatoon Michigan Farm and Nursery website, it’s a longaccepted fact that fruit is good for the body. Certain fruit, however, offer such a high amount of antioxidants and diseasefighting capabilities, they’ve earned the name “superfruit” for their superior level of health benefits. Saskatoon berries are one such “superfruit.” What’s more, research has shown these rich, dark purple berries hold one of the highest levels of antioxidants and anthocyanin contents available, more than what’s found in strawberries, raspberries, or wild blueberries. Recent research has shown Saskatoon berries are also high in fibre, meaning they can help control blood sugar, defend against diabetes, aid digestion, and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. They are also a rich source of five essential vitamins and minerals. Saskatoon berries rank the highest in antioxidants in both fresh fruit and fruit pulp relative to other common fruits. They are also rich in dietary fibre: 100 grams of Saskatoon berries contain 24 per cent of the daily fibre requirement. They also have considerable amounts of micronutrients essential for metabolism.

The first Dominion Day
L
ong having to contend with the boisterous festivities of their American friends every July 4, Barkerville citizens with roots back east were overwhelmed when news finally brought word of a new country, Canada, in 1867. “They too had an independent country to celebrate and they were fully aware of the implications of the new dominion’s motto: From Sea to Sea,” wrote Ken Mather, a Spallumcheen author and historian, in an article on the Cariboo gold town in then colonial B.C. “It only remained for them to demonstrate to their friends at home the willingness for joining their new home with their old. And one of the Richard Rolke ways of demonstrating their fervor was through the tried and true method of celebrating. The results were guaranteed to make the wildest American on the creek stand up and take notice.” That pent-up enthusiasm to commemorate the new nation finally transpired one minute after midnight July 1, 1868. “The good people of Barkerville were startled out of their sleep by the thunderous roar of a 21 gun salute. Only in the absence of cannon the Canadians used the traditional anvil chorus, consisting of putting one anvil on top of another and sandwiching between a charge of black powder,” wrote Mather. “When touched off, the resulting sound was deafening and did full credit to equalling the roar of the cannon.” Later that day, there were horse races, a greasy pole climb and a performance at Theatre Royal and a grand ball at Mrs. Tracey’s boarding house. The evening wrapped up with 1,000 people taking in a blazing fireworks display. “Thus the first Dominion Day celebration in B.C., and perhaps in North America, passed into memory not without a few large heads
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
— no doubt a result of the anvil chorus,” said Mather. “The Americans on Williams Creek begrudgingly admitted that the Canadians had organized a real rip-snorter but they were quick to point out that this fledgling dominion had a long way to go before it equalled their glorious country to the south. Why the new country didn’t even have a flag. “And to further point this fact out, they placed Old Glory on top of a 94-foot-high flagpole in front of Sterling’s Saloon, better known as the Eldorado Billiard and Dancing Saloon and as American an institution as six-guns and Bowie knives.” But the Canadians weren’t willing to be outdone and the next Dominion Day would be one to remember. “Plans were begun in secret and the local artist William W. Hill designed and painted a distinctly Canadian flag consisting of a beaver surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves on a white ground in the middle of the British ensign,” wrote Mather. “Under cover of night on June 30, 1869, the flag was placed on a pole and erected in Barkerville across from Sterling’s Saloon. The people of Barkerville awoke on July 1 to view, not without some delight, the ‘new’ Canadian flag flittering proudly atop a flag pole 115 feet high, looking down on the American flag below.” Ultimately, when questions arose about the future of the colony of B.C., Barkerville’s Dr. Robert William Weir Carrall joined the chorus of those calling for Canada to expand to the Pacific coast. Carrall was among those who negotiated B.C.’s entry into confederation in 1871. Carrall later went on to be a senator and he introduced legislation that officially recognized July 1 as a national holiday. “The bill was passed and finally some 11 years after the fact, the rest of Canada joined Barkerville in celebrating this great occasion,” said Mather. Happy Canada Day everyone.
Canadians are proud of their country and its many achievements, as could be seen Saturday when Canada played its final game in the Women’s World Cup of soccer. Yet at the same time, there is a sense of unease in the midst of 2015, with the economy sluggish, and the future uncertain for many people and businesses. There is also a federal election looming, and it is very unclear what the final result of that will be. Nonetheless these are simply moments that will pass. On this occasion, it’s fun to wrap ourselves in the Canadian flag and wrap ourselves in our Canadian identity, whatever it may mean to us. It’s fine to celebrate some of the symbols that stand for Canada and Canadians, and play street hockey, eat poutine, drink beer and crank up Anne Murray on the ghetto blaster. When we hear the strains of O Canada, or when we chant “Go Canada Go,” there’s a temptation to think all the while, with swelled hearts, how Canada is the greatest country there is. That may be true, but Canada doesn’t equal greatness simply on principle. It’s all of us together and each of us individually who make it so, and must always make it so. Canada Day, we think, is meant to inspire pride – pride in our country, in our flag, and in who we are. Are we proud to be Canadians? We should be. Most anywhere we look, from coast to coast to coast, and especially close to home, we should be able to find sources of pride. But if we don’t see, at the same time, things that we wish were different and ways that Canada can be better, then we aren’t looking closely enough. We can salute the flag, and at the same time believe that it will one day stand for an even greater Canada. Let’s cheer and chant, yet not be afraid to ask, at the same time, where we are going, and where we wish to go. - Black Press

Society takes aim at park plan
anadian Parks and Wilderness Society - B.C. wishes to express its opposition to the B.C. Government’s proposal to remove land from Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park (KLPP) to accommodate a 20-metre-wide right-of-way and the expansion of Cosens Bay Road. We believe that this proposal would compromise the values for which the park was created to protect and is thus incompatible with the Provincial Protected Area Boundary Adjustment Policy, Processes and Guidelines (2010). The current road is safe and adequate for existing usage, which is limited. This project will facilitate increased speeds and volumes of traffic passing through the park, thereby decreasing safety for park visitors as well as wildlife. Safety concerns should be addressed by regulating road speeds, and this can be done without excising any area from the park. Thus, this proposal falls within the third category of boundary adjustments: where a proponent (private or public) is interested in a boundary adjustment to allow for a development or activity not allowed by authorization under the protected area legislation. As stated in the KLPP purpose statement and zoning plan, “the primary purposes of Kalamalka Lake Park are to protect its grasslands, parkland and upland forest, lakeshore and species at risk and provide a wide range of day use upland and BOWLING IN THE DARK The Vernon Lions Club held a very successful second annual Bowling in the Dark fundraiser June 6 at Lincoln Lanes. Bowlers were tasked with bowling while wearing glasses that mimic an eye disease as well as bowling in darkness. The evening became very enlightening as well as entertaining. A big thank you goes out to those bowlers that collected pledges. The nine bowling teams raised $4,109 of the almost $6,500 total being sent to the Lions Foundation of Canada Canine Vision Dog Guide Program. This program allows approximately 40 visually impaired people per year to live independent lives with the help of a guide dog as well as providing special need dogs for five other programs. I have been touched by this program directly over the last eight years and with the passing of much-loved guide dog Tyrell, this
lake-oriented outdoor recreation activities.” The 2006 state of the park analysis concluded that KLPP, is “one of the best examples of North Okanagan grasslands, unique cliff and wetland habitats and may contain more than 20 provincially listed plant and animal species.” This analysis also cites the impacts of Cosens Bay Road as one of the top three concerns raised by local stakeholders. As early as the 1980s, the importance of these grasslands was realized, and a public advisory report recommended phasing out the road and hydro transmission lines. Although the road has been open to the public since 1996, no assessment has been made regarding the impact that traffic has had, though it is known that snakes and amphibian species have suffered
year's fundraiser was his memory. Tyrell was an honourary member of the Vernon Lions Club and was special to all of us. This fundraiser could not have happened without the great support of our community and the local business owners who donated cash, gift certificates, raffle items and food for the event. We appreciate and thank you very much for your loyal support. Gail Pifer, Vernon Lions Club NOT IMPRESSED The article and photo in the June 3 edition of The Morning Star was quite insensitive on the part of the RCMP. As a retired member myself, I was taken aback at the manner in which this member used the plight of the homeless to enforce traffic regulations. Absolutely set up a roadblock, do seatbelt checks, or use any manner of enforcement which is not insulting to a struggling minority in our city. That is what
we as police officers did, collectively, in our day while enforcing various laws. I suggest to the officer that if he really wishes to stand out and catch the attention of the motorists at a very busy intersection, perhaps next time he puts on his uniform rather than trying to “disguise” himself as a homeless person at a location which they do frequent in hopes of some assistance. I hope the 11 tickets you all wrote that day were worth it at the expense of the disadvantaged. Monique Hubbs-Michiel GAS INCREASE I have a question. Why is it that when the price of oil goes down by 2.72 per cent (one exchange said the drop was only 2.65 per cent), we get an increase at the pumps of 13 cents a litre? At 200 litres a barrel, that's $26. Sure you don't get 200 litres of gas out of a barrel of oil. You get just under half of that barrel as gas. You also get diesel, oil, grease,
higher mortality. Vehicle traffic is also strongly associated with the introduction of invasive plants, another major threat to species at risk. The report states that ideally the road should be closed in order to protect park resources Clearly an expansion of the road is incompatible with maintaining the primary purpose for which this park was established. The nominal benefits of this project would accrue to a small number of private landholders, while the public interest and environmental values would suffer. If anything, the minister of environment should be considering the earlier recommendation to review the impact of the existing road on species at risk and determine whether further restrictions are necessary to maintain this ecosystem and the species at risk that depend on it. Furthermore, we wish to express our deep concern that this boundary adjustment process has proceeded this far. Given that this proposal does not meet the basic criteria of the boundary adjustment policy, this should not have proceeded beyond stage one (initial proposal). Allowing this to proceed has placed an undue burden on local residents to respond and participate in an unnecessary process, and on B.C. Parks’ limited resources. Peter Wood, Director Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, B.C. Chapter
solvents and literally hundreds of other products that come from a barrel of oil. Maybe one of the most important being toilet seats. Somehow, when you're talking about the price of gas a toilet seat just seems to fit the topic. The point being that for every 200 litres of gas the oil companies sell today they are raking in $26 more than they did yesterday, and, for the most part, that is the same gas they had in there yesterday. So how is it when the price of oil is dropping that the suppliers can argue that the supply is down? Wouldn't a lower supply equate to a higher price per barrel? Their math is more mysterious than the monster that lives in Okanagan Lake or those little particles that they keep searching for in the CERN atom smasher over in Europe. It seems to me that the law of supply and demand isn't factoring into the price of gas. It's more likely the law of greed is coming into play. Glen Johnstone

feature event: bugs, bugs and more bugs! July 25 at the vernon museum
S
tuart Brown of The Bug Guys is back at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives Saturday, July 25 to educate and entertain with his bizarre, beautiful and fascinating creepy crawlies. “Both the avid insect lovers and the squeamish onlookers will leave with a new appreciation for these creepy crawlies,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator at the museum.

Summer in the city heats up with more live entertainment Morning Star Staff
Downtown Vernon is set to host another season of free summer entertainment. All can be seen and heard at the weekly Jammin’ in Justice, Civic Sounds and Avenue Market events. “Our free summer music events really bring a fun energy and atmosphere to downtown Vernon. It’s the perfect excuse to relax, grab a bite to eat and enjoy summer with friends and family,” said Hailey Rilkoff, events and promotions coordinator with the Downtown Vernon Association. Jammin’ in Justice provides a midweek lunch break when local bands and a few visiting performers provide visitors and residents with afternoon tunes in Justice Park. “We’re really excited about the bands we have lined up this year. There are lots of familiar names and a few new
bands we’re looking forward to seeing perform for the first time with us,” said Rilkoff. Tasman Jude, The Kings, and The Creeks are just a few to be Jammin’ in Justice every Wednesday, starting July 8 with The Marv Machura Band, to Aug. 26 from noon to 1:30 p.m. The ever popular Civic Sounds returns with free concerts on Thursday evenings at Civic Plaza in front of the Vernon museum and old library. “This year we have another popular lineup of bands including Cheaper than a Porsche, Cod Gone Wild, Legendary Lake Monsters, and The Goods,” said Rilkoff. “We even have the Okanagan Military Tattoo joining us as guest performers on July 23.” Visitors are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or lay out a blanket, have a picnic and enjoy the show.
“Many of the downtown restaurants have to-go menus and would be happy to provide a meal for you, your family and your friends while you are listening to the entertainment,” said Rilkoff. The Shawn Lightfoot Band kicks off Civic Sounds July 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. Entertainers are also part of downtown Vernon’s Avenue Market, which takes place every Friday along a few blocks of 30th Avenue from 4 to 8 p.m. “We have a mix of eclectic buskers and performers like Shaughnessy Rose-Barker, Eli Garlick, Soulstice and Mojom Circus. Stroll the Avenue Market and you’ll come across busk stops with every type of performance from classic country to electric violins to juggling,” said Rilkoff. Special market performances include Sister Speak July 24, Bender Aug. 14 and Tasman Jude Aug. 28.

It’s a banner year for local artist Morning Star Staff
Renowned Okanagan artist Bryan Ryley is about to have his work shown high above the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The winner of the VPAG’s banner project competition, Ryley will see a large-scale reproduction of one of his paintings displayed on the east side of the city parkade, where the VPAG is currently located. The VPAG put a call out to artists for its banner project and received some excellent submissions from local area artists, said executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “We are thrilled to be able to facilitate this banner project, thanks to funding from the Vernon B.C. Winter Games Legacy Fund,” she said. “This installation will create an exterior gallery space, which will provide a visible impact to the parkade wall thanks to the quality submissions we received from area artists.” Ryley has also provided the original painting that is being recreated on the enlarged banners to be auctioned off at this year’s Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts, July 15 at Turtle Mountain Winery. “Don’t miss your opportunity to be the winning bidder on this important work of art,” said Kennedy Grant. “The original artwork will be a perfect piece for your office or as a feature piece to your home collection.” Based in Vernon, Ryley exhibits in
Bryan ryley.com
Vernon artist Bryan Ryley has been chosen to have his painting reproduced as banners to be displayed outside the Vernon Public Art Gallery. both Canada and the U.S. and his work can be found in numerous private and public collections around the world. “Throughout his career, Bryan Ryley’s work has moved back and forth among three media – painting, drawing, and collage, with forays into sculpture and photography. In each medium he explores structural systems and serial compositions, developing new voice with each change of material and scale,” said VPAG curator Lubos Culen. “Ryley’s lyrical tones and richly textured colour is reminiscent of a classical modernist abstraction rooted in cubist collage and surrealist inspired abstraction.” The installation of the banners on the exterior of the parkade will take place in the near future.

Senior’s garden hit by thief ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon woman can’t enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of her labour, thanks to an apparent thief. The 80-year-old woman woke up Friday in her Vernon residential neighbourhood to pick her beets, carrots and raspberries that she painstakingly planted and nurtured in her backyard garden. She discovered the beets and carrots were gone, only green raspberries were left and was left wondering why she had no strawberries or berries. “She thought it was critters,”
said the woman’s daughter, who did not want to give her name. “The person even took her picking bucket which was left beside her garden filled with water. The water was dumped out and the bucket was gone.” The family believes somebody entered the woman’s garden and helped themselves to her produce. The incident has left a bitter taste in the daughter’s mouth. “It’s not funny when you know the owner who works hard in this garden everyday is an 80-year-old woman,” said the daughter. “This woman has a sore back and pains and aches galore after
working in the garden daily. She is in pain yet she nurtures the garden for one reason only: to enjoy the fruits of it. “Anyone who has worked a garden from start to finish knows the enormous amount of work involved and it’s such a shame that someone is stealing all of her hard work.” A friend of the woman’s built up the garden to make it safer for her to care, as she had trouble working on the slope. “She’s fallen a number of times,” said the daughter. The family is making a plea to the thief to stop stealing from a hard-working senior.
Police seek tips on missing woman Morning Star Staff
Public assistance is sought to find a Lumby woman. On Sunday at about 4:30 p.m., the RCMP received a report from a concerned family member that Susan Catt, 54, was missing. “Family reports that Catt left her residence in Lumby Sunday at about noon, and no one has seen or heard from
Susan Catt
her since,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. Catt was last seen driving a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire, light blue in colour with a sunroof. The B.C. licence plate is 350 FFE. “There is a possibility that Catt may be headed for a remote, rural location somewhere in the Lumby/Nakusp area,” said Noseworthy. Catt is five-foot-six and 165 pounds, with short brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information about Catt’s whereabouts is asked to call the RCMP.

To accommodate anticipated boat traffic for those watching Kelowna’s Canada Day fireworks display on Okanagan Lake, the Regional District of Central Okanagan will keep the Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park open until midnight today. Usually between May 1 and the end of September, the park gate in Lake Country is locked each night at 10 p.m.
“Boaters returning later in the evening following the Canada Day fireworks should leave enough time to trailer their vessel and leave the park before the midnight gate closure,” said Bruce Smith, with RDCO. “In light of the extended late evening boat launch hours, we ask facility users to be respectful of neighbours who live near the park and boat launch.” The park gate closing will return to the normal 10 p.m. Thursday.

New marina open on Mabel Lake Morning Star Staff
A new amenity in the Kingfisher area will be officially unveiled Friday. The grand opening of the new Mabel Lake Marina will take place at noon. “Mabel Lake Holiday Centre will host the ribbon-cutting event and public barbecue as a means of acknowledging and thanking all levels of government for their co-operation towards the successful completion of this multi-million-dollar, privately funded project,” said Terry Laursen, who owns the business with his brother Ken. The new marina, features a 265foot aluminum pier, 6,000 lineal feet of concrete walkways, 260 slips for mooring recreational boats, boat loading zones, security gates, safety lights, signage and defined swim/boat
After more than 10 years running as the B.C. Used Oil Summer Ambassador Tour, nine provincial product stewardships have come together under the B.C. Recycles banner with the goal of increasing overall recycling awareness and collection rates. Newly positioned as the B.C. Recycles Summer Ambassador Tour, the key public awareness and education program expands to cover recycling used oil, tires, beverage containers, electronics, batteries and medications. It will also look at light bulbs, small appliances, and more for the first time.

areas along with 86 golf cart parking spots and an adjacent marina parking lot. There has also been a rebuilding of the Mabel Lake beach breakwater and an expansion to the boat launch. “The marina will be an added feature to the beautiful recreational area of Mabel Lake for all residents and tourists to enjoy for years to come,” said Terry Laursen. Phase three of the project is set to begin in the spring of 2016 with the development of a retail outlet.

Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers better be primed for Friday night hockey next season. The Snakes will play 13 of their 28 home B.C. Hockey League games on Friday nights, starting Sept. 11 when they entertain the Trail Smoke Eaters in their season opener. “Opening night is Sept. 11 but unlike the last three years, the Bauer BCHL Showcase will not be the start of the regular season,” said BCHL media director Brent Mutis. “There will be two weekends of regular-season games before the Showcase takes place Sept. 24 to 27 in Chilliwack.
Each team plays 58 games this season. With the Wenatchee Wild joining the BCHL, there are now 17 teams and there will be 493 total games.” Vernon will play five home dates on Saturday (special 6:00 starts) and Wednesday nights. They have three Tuesday nighters and two Sunday matinees. The Vipers face Wenatchee and Cowichan Valley at the showcase at Prospera Centre. Vernon’s first major road trip goes Oct. 2-4 when they battle the Powell River Kings, Nanaimo Clippers and Victoria Grizzlies. Vernon heads to Port Alberni, Cowichan Valley, and
Surrey for games Nov. 6-7-8. The Vipers finish 2015 with a Sunday afternoon tilt versus Powell River Dec. 20 at Kal Tire Place. Vernon hosts the defending BCHL champion Penticton Vees in a special New Year’s Day Friday contest at 7 p.m. Again, the league is playing a full interlock schedule, meaning each team will host every other team and also visit every other team. This will be done once each with out-ofdivision teams while in-division rivals will meet multiple times home and away. The regular season ends Sunday, Feb. 28 with the playoffs starting Friday, March 4.

Bucs maroon C’s at Marshall
250.558.1362 www.vjhfoundation.org
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians walked the plank as they dropped a pair of B.C. AAA midget baseball games to the Nanaimo Buccaneers Saturday at Marshall Field. The Bucs clipped the C’s 9-5 in the opener. Canadians’ ace Dylan Emmons wasn’t himself on the mound, as he gave up five runs, only three earned, and struck out one batter. The blip on Emmons’ season is hardly noticeable with his 1.80 ERA and 109 strikeouts in 65 innings pitched. Tyler Wellman came on in relief, pitched four innings, gave up three hits and two earned runs. Wellman is third in strikeouts with 29. Landon Currie whacked three hits in four trips to the dish, raising his average to .265. He also swiped two bags and scored twice. Kadyn Thomas turned in a solid game with a pair of singles, a walk and a run scored. The Canadians were plauged by errors once again. Nine of the 16 runs they allowed were unearned. The Bucs raised the Jolly Roger with a 7-3 victory in the back end of the double dip. Brayden Damini started and went six innings, yielding eight hits, six runs, two earned runs and fanned three Bucs (22-14). Ethan Huizinga went 1-for-2 with a single and wore a bean ball. Emmons crushed a triple and scored his 16th and 17th RBI of the season. The Canadians (8-27-1) host the first-place Ridge Meadows Royals (30-3) for two games today at 1 and 4 p.m. at Marshall Field. The Royals are fresh off a sweep over the Richmond City Chuckers (21-13) at Hammond Stadium on Sunday. They won 12-2 and 8-0.

Rookie John Orton and veteran Gord Howard connected big time as the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels iced Sunshine Pools & Spa 5-2 Monday night at Parkinson #16 Field in Kelowna. Orton pulled the hat trick, giving the big and ultra-talented striker 10 on the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League season, while Howard converted once from Orton and set up two of his three. All of Orton’s snipes came on short breakaways, including one in the dying minutes. Steve Milne also scored late in what was a tight match under a clear sky and muggy temperature. Orton took the Lincoln Lanes Man of the Match honours. Dave Dutcher made a few spectacular saves as the Humpbacks went to 6-2-1 and took over third place in the 13-team loop. Don Balcombe turned in a bold showing at centre midfield. Mike Bertoia bagged both goals for the Pool guys (3-5-1), who played in the Camels’ end for the first 10 minutes, only to succumb to a fastbreak by Orton. Bertoia beat Dutcher on a penalty kick. The Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos ambushed Cantinas 7-0 at Parkinson #9. (Magic) Mike Moorlag made his season debut and made some fabulous stops for the shutout as the Pogos improved to 4-4-1.

return assist from Bos, making it 2-0. Cantinas kept pressuring Moorlag with several shots from the outside. Roland Riedstra was taken down in the penalty area and the 2-6-1 Cantinas’ keeper deflected the low shot back into play. Minutes later, Bryan Schenker weaved his way past two defenders and pushed the ball through to Riedstra, who powered the ball through the keeper’s hands. Roadrunner Ruben Cervantes came alive for Turn-Key in the final 45 with stellar defensive play coming from Shawn Wiebe and Clint Dickinson. Mark Wasylyk added a fourth insurance goal off a pass that skipped off the foot of Dennis to Parm Kler right to Wasylyk’s feet. Fortis Energy Man of the Match Dennis then scored two more goals to complete a well-deserved hat trick. Both were assisted by Wasylyk. Dennis set up Riedstra for the final goal of the night. In contrast to some recent games which have seen some scores being run up, the Silver Stars and winless Rutland Spirit enjoyed a competitive and high-spirited game on the perfect pitch at Beasley Park with the Stars winning 5-0. John Matejika and Denis Chabot, both fighting injuries from 0ver 55 action, scored to put the Stars up 2-0 at the break. In a great display of sportsmanship, and with the score still 2-0 early in the second half, a Rutland player admitted to the referee he had not been fouled inside the box, which resulted in the official
overturning his decision of a penalty kick. In a return display of sportsmanship, Dave Howes knocked at least 10 shots high or wide of the net before putting the Stars up 3-0 with a tap in from six yards. Steve McCourt and ageless Al Bensmiller added late goals for the 4-3-2 Stars, while Ted Lurkins earned the shutout despite a few close calls. Back-up goalie Andreas Dietrich had an outstanding showing as the Rented Mules bounced Bosman Accounting 5-2. Harry de Haas of the Mules was fouled from behind on a breakaway and converted the penalty at 25 minutes. The second Mules’ tally came after a patient build up by dynamite’ defenders Donovan Hare and Gurinder Dhaliwal before Izak Michaeli sent Tim Moore in on a breakaway at Rutland Field. The speedy Mules went up by three early in the second half when Michaeli started and finished a move with a gimme tap in set up by de Haas. De Haas was then fouled from behind on another breakaway and was awarded a second penalty with the identical result. To their credit, Bosman kept pressing and got two goals in the last 15 minutes. Mike Grace connected after a corner from Kerry Correia, while Gerard Geelkerken buried a nice, low shot in the right corner from well outside the 18. Al Ryder earlier completed the Mules’ offence with a delightful chip over the keeper following a great run and through ball from Clarke Burnett.

Exciting times lie ahead, so put your best foot forward and accept all the help you can get. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Remember that jealousy is usually behind criticism, so don’t take it to heart. Those who are most vocal about your shortcomings are trying to cover up their own inadequacies. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may feel like putting your feet up, but this is not the time to refuse invitations to social or community events. You will meet someone who will become very special to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Fatigue will slow you down, causing you to fall short of your goals. Avoid unnecessary physical exertion, and concentrate on intellectual or mental challenges instead.

Moderately Confused
The
Bridge by Phillip Alder TRUMP TRICKS COME IN REVERSE Friedrich von Schlegel, a German critic and writer who died in 1829, said, “A historian is a prophet in reverse.” In another context, a Monday morning quarterback is a tipster in reverse - and, like a historian, will be more accurate. There is a reverse procedure in bridge that is difficult to spot. Can you see it in this deal? South is in seven spades. After West leads the heart queen, what should declarer do? North’s response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, guaranteeing at least four trumps and game-going values. South employed
Blackwood and jumped to seven spades when he knew that they had all of the aces and kings. This was a tad aggressive because there could have been a late diamond loser. At first, South would have his eye on these 13 tricks: five spades, two hearts, three diamonds, two clubs and one diamond ruff on the board. But after he wins the first trick with the heart ace (top of touching honours from the closed hand) and cashes the spade king, West’s discard makes that line much too dangerous -and it fails here. Instead, declarer should cash his club king and play a club to dummy’s ace. When East follows suit, South is home. He ruffs a club in his hand, plays a trump to the
dummy, ruffs the last club, overtakes his final spade with the ace on the board, and draws East’s remaining trump, discarding one of his low diamonds. Declarer takes four spades, two hearts, three diamonds, two clubs and the two club ruffs in his hand. It is a textbook dummy reversal.

BURGESS ‘BIRD’ NEWMAN January 21, 1950 - July 1, 2012
January 31, 1922 - June 26, 2015
My beloved husband of 68 years has gone to be with his God and Creator. He died peacefully in our home. A service will be held at All Saints Anglican Church on Saturday, July 4th at 2:00 P.M. officiated by the Very Reverend Chris Howard Jones. Alan will be taking his last flight home where a place will be prepared for him in the family plot in Klagenfurt, Austria. He will always be remembered and honoured by family and friends. Loved and cherished by his wife, Inge. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the local SPCA.
Margaret Visser April 20, 1925 - June 25, 2015
Still missing you after 3 years.
Always in our thoughts, Wendy, Dempsey, Courtney & best friend Len.
Call 250.550.7900 or email classifieds@vernonmorningstar.com to place an ‘In Memoriam’ notice
Irene Phyllis Swift On June 19 2015, I said good-bye to my beautiful Mom, Irene Phyllis Swift. She was predeceased by her husband George (2001) and son Dwain (2010), and remembered by her daughter Tannis (Don) Bradley, granddaughter Jennifer, grandson Ryan and great grand-daughter Natasha.
We regret to announce the passing of Margaret Visser at Creekside Residence. She was predeceased by her husband John Visser. Margaret is survived by her brother Jaap who lives in Holland; her sons George Visser (Catherine), Lute / John Visser (Claire); grandchildren Dustin, Nicole, Laura; great grandchildren Brianna, Colton and several nieces and nephews in Holland. Margaret and John met during the war and were married as their town was liberated by the Canadians in 1945. Margaret and family immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands in 1956, moved to Burnaby where she started by cleaning houses. John worked as a laborer. In no time Margaret worked at the Royal Bank. John started with Shop Easy grocery stores and became a manager. In 1965 they moved to Mica Creek where he managed the Co-Op and she became Post Mistress. They moved to Vernon in 1972. She was a member of the Royal Purple for approximately 40 years. Those friends wishing to pay their respects to Margaret may do so at a Celebration of Life at 9708 Eastside Road in Vernon on July 11, 2015 between 2:00 and 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers you may make a donation to the Parkinson Foundation.
Mom was born in Piapot, Saskatchewan, March 9, 1919. She and her parents moved to Vernon when she was in her late teens. In Vernon she met and married George Swift in August 1940. They spent most of their lives in Vernon and raised their two children there. Mom worked in the florist business and later in sales at Grey’s Apparelle and Ashton’s Ladies Wear. Her family was the most important thing in her life, she loved us and was loved in return. She was a gentle person who appreciated any kindness shown to her. My fondest thanks and appreciation to Margie for holding mom’s hand and being there for both of us; to Heritage staff and to Glen for being a good friend and helping Mom when she needed it the most. We will miss you Mom.

Q: A:
What do you think of hot water on demand water heaters, are they really more efficient?
Yes! Tank-less water heaters or on demand type water heaters have been found to be more energy efficient. Recent studies by CMHC found that gas fired on demand water heaters were 46% more efficient than the conventional gas fired storage water heaters. One drawback was noted that 2% more water consumption was recorded due to a delay in hot water arriving at the tap & consumer’s tendency to use more hot water because the supply was endless. And the supply is endless, as an example, I had one installed in my home. One day I drained my hot tub to clean it & replace the water; I then filled it with hot water via my hot water on demand system. I had to wait for the water in the hot tub to cool down before I could use the hot tub. The cost of retrofitting an on demand water heater is more than a conventional water heater. A conventional heater may cost around $1000 to replace while to retrofit an on demand water heater will most likely start at $2500 or more. Shop around for your best deal, Information on energy savings research can be found on the CMHC web site. And remember: when in doubt, always ask an expert.

Q: A:
CET, RHIP Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner What is a ‘Hearing Loop’?
If you have never heard of hearing loops, you are not alone. There is a lack of awareness of hearing loops in Canada. For people with hearing aids it is the prevalent hearing aid assist technology in all other G7 countries. A Hearing Loop System is a proven technology that enables the hearing aid user to hear better in poor acoustic environments. It is difficult for people with hearing aids to distinguish the sounds they want to hear over distance and from the background noise. These problems are common in churches, theatres, cinemas and many other public places. Loop systems deliver the sound directly to the hearing aid’s Telecoil (T-Coil) thus delivering a clean, clear sound and bypassing the background noise. So how does it work? A sound source such as a microphone, TV or stereo is connected to a loop amplifier. Instead of being connected to loud speakers the loop amp connects to a thin cable usually installed around the perimeter of the room or sometimes in the floor or in the ceiling. The sound is received directly in the user’s hearing aid when they are within the “looped area” via a Telecoil (T-Coil) found in hearing aids. Many hearing aids have T-Coils and just need them activated. For those aids that do not have T-coils, it may be possible for the manufacturer to add them to existing aids, for others it may be possible to purchase a remote control for the hearing aids that has a T-coil built in. If you would like your T-Coils activated, please contact your Hearing Aid Provider.

Q: A:
As Debbie Ford notes, “Loving ourselves means loving all of who we are – the brilliant and the beautiful, the flawed and the foolish, the selfless and self-absorbed, the courageous and the fearful. It means loving, honouring, and accepting the totality of our humanity. It means cherishing ourselves and appreciating our individuality and our uniqueness.” What a gift we give to the world when we love ourselves. We model and teach others how to love themselves. Wouldn’t this world be a wonderful place if we all loved and cherished ourselves! It’s not your job to like me...it’s MINE! ~Byron Katie

You may want to rethink that… With temperatures exceeding 40º recently, we have all reached for ice cold drinks, shade, swim in the lake… and electric fans. Overall this is great, go for it… except when that fan is over your bed… When you sleep, your body goes into major repair mode, and it needs peace and quiet to do what needs to be done: a circling blade above your body is far from peaceful… Try this instead: • Tower free-standing floor fan with auto shutoff capability • Move your bed from underneath the ceiling fan • Use the fan before you go to bed, and turn it off when you are in bed I get it, you need to stay cool, trust me, I do too… but your body needs peace and stillness more. Cool the room before you go to bed, allow everything to settle and you will have that good night’s sleep. Zzzzzz

Q: A:
If my house sale gets onto the MLS® anyway should I just go with any REALTOR® with a low commission?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Was that my outside voice?) There are so many variables to selling your home. MLS® is a wonderful system REALTORS® have invested in on behalf of clients, but it takes more than being on MLS® to get you the highest net return on your home sale. Think about investing in your sale for the most EFFECTIVE and highest return to you. Invest in a great ally that might encourage you to also invest in some little touches that bring big returns. Basing your sale on trying to “save” commission is one of the most misguided mistakes I see. The most priceless attribute of a great REALTOR® is trustworthiness followed closely by highly developed skills and great rapport with colleagues. Don’t be bending over trying to pick up nickels while 100 dollar bills are blowing by over your head. A great REALTOR® will always be your best bet. Start there.

Q:
We would like to update our home and do some repairs, are we able to borrow the money that we need?
A:
Many Canadians have chosen to renovate their homes rather than move to a higher priced property. We can easily look at refinancing your home to provide the funds that you need to make the repairs. With today’s lower interest rates your payments will likely be lower than you would expect and if you have at least 20% equity in your home (the difference between the value of your home and the new mortgage) you are able to choose a longer repayment of 30 years to help lower your payments. We would be pleased to review your personal details and provide a payment plan that will suit your lifestyle and save you money. E&O/OAC For Expert Advice, Contact …
