A Vernon firefighter hoses down the fire on 48th Avenue from above Tuesday evening. The Ministry of Social Development office and a foot clinic were destroyed.
Blaze has ministry scrambling RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A massive fire consumed a Vernon office Tuesday but it won’t leave residents without access to critical social services. Flames roared through the Ministry of Social Development building on 48th Avenue at 6:30 p.m., destroying everything inside. “We don’t expect any gaps in service. Clients who require crisis grants or have immediate needs will continue to be served,” stated the ministry in a release. While a new office is being sought, ministry staff have set up at the Service BC centre at 3201 30th St. where clients can pick up cheques and have other immediate needs addressed. “The ministry has also set up a tent near the fire site where staff are on hand to make sure clients who show up with urgent needs know how to access services,” stated the release. Clients with non-urgent needs are encouraged to contact the min-
istry’s toll free line at 1-866-8660800 to access services and for more information. “There were some paper files lost in the fire such as paper stubs, staff files and receipt books but client information is held electronically on a central system so staff can continue to access those records,” stated the ministry. Also gutted was the North Okanagan Foot and Ankle clinic. “We have to find a temporary

spot and then a permanent spot. We have a line on a couple of places,” said Dr. Mike Motyer, with the clinic. The fire was reported when smoke was noticed coming from the structure. “Firefighters forced the doors open to look for fires inside and noticed fires coming from the fixtures so they evacuated. The fire then broke through the rear and moved rapidly,” said Lawrie
Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. “It pretty much became a defensive response and it was about an hour and 40 minutes before it was knocked down, and there have been spot fires ever since.” Skolrood says the chances of saving the building were minimal given that the fire was entrenched in the roof. “How long the fire had been going is a question. If it had been well-seeded (inside), it could have been throughout the building before it was noticed.” The amount of damage is making the investigation a challenge, and while the roof is believed to be the fire’s point of origin, that doesn’t mean roofing work is necessarily the cause. “It doesn’t rule it out but we don’t have enough information at this point,” said Skolrood. Motyer has nothing but praise for firefighters. “They worked very hard. They did their best to get it under control,” he said.

It will be awhile yet before Greater Vernon residents lace up and hit the track. The synthetic track surface is currently being installed at the Greater Vernon Community Sports Facility next to Okanagan College and the track will be available to the public at the end of July. “We realize people are excited to get out there and start using the track and field, which is why we will be opening them up to the public as soon as they are ready to go,” said director Bob Fleming. Residents will be able to use the facility for free and rental fees will apply when it’s being booked for special events or programs. “People will be able to walk on the track,” said Keith Pinkoski, parks manager. A sign on the site says the facility will open in spring, but Pinkoski admits that timeline has been delayed. “The contractors were looking for the best weather window to get the (track) product down,” said Pinkoski. But while the track surface will soon be available, other components of the facility will not. “Use of the grass field has to wait for the turf to be established,” said Tannis Nelson, community development coordinator. The washroom building is not accessible as washrooms are currently being installed. “It will be finished in time to accommodate users during the high-use season, starting in mid to late September,” said Pinkoski.

Hay bales fuel massive blaze
YOUR BLINDS WILL LOOK L IKE NEW AGAIN!
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Spallumcheen dairy farm has sustained a significant loss. Fire destroyed a large pole barn on Knob Hill Road Wednesday at about 5:40 p.m. It contained 750 tonnes of hay worth about $240,000. “The big issue is a real shortage (of hay) in the market. The issue is feeding the cattle,” said Ian Cummings, Ian Cummings A r m s t r o n g Spallumcheen fire chief. The barn was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. “For us, we protected the exposures to make sure it didn’t spread,” said Cummings. “It’s pretty dry out there.” Thirty members of the ArmstrongSpallumcheen department were on scene and the Enderby department provided mutual aid. Most crews were on scene until 4 a.m. Thursday and one truck remained on scene throughout Thursday to keep hot spots contained. With the fire deep inside some of the 1,200-pound bales, there are a couple of

RCMP officers investigate the collision of a pickup truck and a cyclist in the 3400 block of 25th Avenue just after 6 a.m. Thursday. The incident remains under investigation. The 38-year-old female cyclist was seriously injured and was transported to Kelowna General Hospital. Hospital then transported to Kelowna General Hospital.
She was not wearing a helmet. The truck driver
remained at the scene and has been cooperative with police
throughout their investigation, which is continuing.
Accident sends trio to hospital Morning Star Staff
Three people were taken to hospital with nonlife threatening injuries following a motor-vehicle accident at the junction of Highways 97A and 97B outside of Enderby Wednesday. RCMP say an eastbound car, driven by a Salmon Arm woman, failed to correctly negotiate the corner at the bottom of the Highway 97B hill near Baird Brothers and collided with a
northbound pick-up truck from North Dakota on Highway 97A. The accident happened at around noon on Canada Day. A couple in the truck, along with the Salmon Arm woman, were taken to hospital to have their injuries checked out and treated. Traffic was re-routed around the accident scene for several hours as RCMP investigated.

Police focus search on lake ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Police continue to search for a missing Lethbridge man, last seen with a man whose body was found in Kalamalka Lake Sunday. Curtis Wilson, 23, has been reported as missing by his family. An RCMP investigation uncovered that Wilson was last known to be with Shane Letkeman, 32, also from Lethbridge. A standup paddleboarder Curtis Wilson discovered Letkeman’s body in Kal Lake on the south side of Cosens Bay, near cabins, Sunday at around 2:30 p.m. “We’ve searched by air, land and water and we haven’t found him,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP Sgt. Dave Evans Thursday of Wilson, adding that an RCMP dive team was brought in and will return at an undetermined date.
“Our focus has been on the lake because we don’t know where he is.” A black Chrysler 200 car with Alberta licence plate associated to Wilson was located in the area that the body was found. The car was seized as part of the investigation. “There was nothing in the car that led us to where Wilson is,” said Evans. Wilson is described as Caucasian, six-feet, 160-pounds with dark brown hair, clean-shaven, two distinctive star tattoos on either side of his chest and several other tattoos on his arms and chest. He was last seen wearing hightop red sneakers, silvery coloured shorts, a black t-shirt, and a red baseball cap. Anyone with information that may assist police in locating Curtis Wilson is asked to call the Vernon RCMP Detachment at (250) 545-7171 or Crime Stoppers immediately at 1-800-222-8477. An autopsy was performed on Letkeman and his death has been determined to be not suspicious in nature.

A strategy continues to be developed to assist residents leaving a Vernon motel. Social agencies met late last week to discuss the eviction of tenants of the Green Valley Motel in mid-August. “They want to make sure tenants get connected to services,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. “Service providers need a sense of who’s who and what their needs are. We are trying Sharkey to get information about who is getting evicted.” There are 27 units and while about 15 units are currently occupied, the exact number of tenants is not known. Most of the tenants are considered low-income. and they have limited resources for housing. “There is little out there and for some, they come wit barriers — severe disabilities and other issues — and it’s difficult to find market housing,”

said Sharkey. “There will be more pressure on the Gateway Shelter and the John Howard Society.” Sharkey is urging local residents to not only support the agencies rallying behind the tenants but to recognize the need for affordable housing in Vernon. “This is a community issue,” she said.

Donating blood rocks
was head banging at the BC/DC concert at Funtastic this weekend when If You Want Blood (You Got It), came blaring over the crowd. A fitting song considering my blood donating appointment was two days away. Here you go Canadian Blood Services, you got it. I don’t know why I started donating, but, it’s my new hobby. I like to believe that I am a fairly lucky person. There has been no serious injuries or illnesses in my family (knocks on wood desk twice), so I haven’t been influenced by trauma to donate. It’s just something I do every 56 days - give or take a few. I’ve never had an Tyler Lowey issue with needles at the doctor’s office, but the one they stick into your arm at the clinic is cringe-worthy. It’s like having a slurpee straw stuffed into your arm. I’d like to provide insight to those who have never donated and hopefully inspire future donors. When you book your appointment after reading this column, make sure you have some free time on the day you choose to go. The process of donating takes an hour at the minium. There’s a lot of paperwork and questionnaires to fill out before the actual donation. The giving part only takes about 15 minutes but then they also make you wait 15 minutes following the donation to make sure you have no ill effects. To help ease the wait time, they have cookies and juice in the waiting area. And that’s when they aren’t busy. During the prime-time hours (3 to 5 p.m.) you can expect to be held up to two hours. But it’s worth it. If all you have to do in order to save lives is sit around for two hours and endure five seconds of pain from the needle, it’s worth it. There are three types of blood products you can donate: blood plasma, platelets and whole blood. The whole blood is the most common one, it’s the one I always do. It’s where they fill up that plastic bag with a pint of your life fluid. Platelets are about a quarter of the size of red blood cells and are fragile cell fragments. When

a blood vessel is damaged, platelets stick to the vessel, clustering together to plug the hole. This is known as blood clotting. The plasma donation happens either by separating it from whole blood after a donation, or by using a special collection process called apheresis. Apheresis is a medical technique in which the plasma portion of your blood is separated during donation, and all your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are returned to you. Once the blood is collected, it is delivered to a Red Cross blood laboratory where it is processed into several components and stored. A single donation may help up to three people. Hospitals need blood for major surgeries, medical procedures, cancer treatments and managing disease. My blood type is O+, it is the most common in Canada at 39 per cent. Since O+ is the most common, it is in the highest demand in hospitals. There are four types of blood each with a positive and negative. There is A, B, AB and O. The blood types need to match up like two pieces of Velcro. People with AB+ are known as universal receivers. They can accept blood from all types and make up 2.5 per cent of the population. Seven per cent of people contain O- blood are known as universal donors. Their blood can be donated and matched up with any blood type. It is recommended for applicants to be between the ages of 17 and 61. I waited until after my athletic career ended to donate, but you don’t have to. The more frequent you donate, the easier the process is. You can get a blood donor card and familiarize yourself with the process which will help speed things up. Make sure you eat food, drink plenty of water the day of and wear short sleeves. The better hydrated you are, the easier it is for the nurse to find a vein and the blood will flow a lot quicker. There is a GiveBlood app and it helps find clinics, view appointment times, book or cancel appointments and has facts about your blood. It doesn’t have to be a physical donation, there are ways to donate financially. Call 1-888-2-DONATE (366283) to book an appointment to give.

There will be some excited about the news that Greater Vernon’s new sports facility will partially be open by late July. But for others, it will be no different than pouring salt into an open wound. Many residents didn’t support construction of the track and fields next to the college right from the get-go, and among those that did, there is likely some frustration over how the project has progressed. After all, the original plan called for the facility to be completed by the end of 2014, except for some landscaping, as part of a land use agreement with the Agricultural Land Commission. However, here we are at July 3, and the black underlay for the track is just down, and the contractors will soon be installing the low-impact surface. On top of this, completion is further delayed because of the last-minute decision by the Regional District of North Okanagan to install showers in the washrooms. Showers were originally scrapped from the design to save some cash, but the public rightly protested that athletes are going to want somewhere to wash up. And of course there is the fact that the financial estimates for construction have been blown apart. It was announced in March that the $7.5 million athletic park is $790,000 over budget, and then in April, $340,000 was taken out of reserves for showers if grants can’t be found. In the end, the facility will be a tremendous asset for locals wanting to pursue sports, while the economy will get a boost from tournaments and special events. However, the process leading up to the track may force some to reconsider financial support for future amenities on the books.

Grad leads to grateful reflection
y daughter graduated last week from W.L. Seaton. The other day, I drove past her elementary school (Beairsto) and began thinking back on all the years of classrooms, and events, and mostly the people that have come into her life through our educational system. From teachers to administrators, counsellors to custodians, monitors to bus drivers and more. It struck me just how much an impact these people have had, cumulatively, on her (and us) over these many years. As they say, it takes a community to raise a child, and my letter today just wants to say a big thank you to that educational community as a whole, and specifically to those she encountered. In this current political landscape of educational cutbacks and strikes and lockouts, great social divide occurs in towns like ours. For clarity, and to add impact to my message, you should know that, on a macro-level, I share no political or economic ideology with the teachers' union. While many of my close friends are teachers and are administrators, they will
OFF BALANCE I am writing in response to the letter of Mel Arnold, Conservative candidate for the federal riding of North Okanagan-Shuswap. Arnold’s letter is a series of talking points which laud the federal government for balancing the budget. These clearly come directly from the PMO since the Harper government has long ago decided that MPs and candidates cannot be trusted to say anything on their own. The talking points hide some realities that Canadians are entitled to know. First of all, they fail to mention that the Tories have produced just one balanced budget in nine years, over which time they have added $150 billion to the national debt – $60 billion more than the administrations of Jean Chretien and Paul Martin combined. Second, to achieve the balanced budget, Finance Minister Joe Oliver fudged the established methodology for how revenue forecasts are made, by assuming that the price of oil will increase in each of the next five years. Third, the government is effectively abandoning infrastructure investment until 2017. Fourth, to get more revenue, Oliver sold the government's last remaining shares in General Motors as a result of the 2009 auto bailout for $2.1 billion. It was an expensive $2.1 billion, given that it imposed a $3.5 billion loss on taxpayers. Fifth, to balance the budget, Oliver also did something his predecessor vowed he would never do: he used $3.4 billion from the Employment Insurance operating surplus. Sixth, Oliver used up two-thirds of the $3
corroborate the fact that I am an opinionated, died-in-the wool, right-wing, free enterprise businessman, whose world of money management/financial planning leaves little room to support their union demands and protectionism. Not that government has done a great job on this issue either, with
billion contingency fund that all federal governments put aside for a rainy day, although this was not a rainy day. And that is how we got to a so-called balanced budget. In the process, the Harper government gave a $2 billion tax cut to wealthy Canadians through income-splitting, while making $36 billion in cuts to health care over 10 years. I suggest that Arnold take a more critical look at the next set of talking points he is sent by the PMO. Eli Pivnick STICKLE ROAD ROUNDABOUT I would like to commend the letter by Jo Jones in the June 10 Morning Star for her suggestion of a roundabout for the Stickle Road interchange on Highway 97 north. My wife and I were driving in Scotland for a couple of weeks in September 2014 and encountered many such roundabouts on highways throughout the country. There were as many as two and three lanes in each direction feeding in and out, and they worked very well to safely calm, and yet to keep the traffic flowing in a much better way than a traffic light or four-way stop could possibly do. Each exit was clearly identified so there was no confusion as to which one to take to continue one’s journey, and if you missed your turn, you just continued around the circle until your desired exit reappeared. They worked like a charm, and are a wellproven solution to such difficult intersections. I recommend one highly as a most practical
less-than stellar decision-making and tactics over the years. I just see a system that needs fixing, and quickly (note: I am not holding my breath). But my daughter was sheltered, mostly, from all of that, and she just got the micro: the people. And almost without exception, those people were awesome. We encountered helpful, dedicated, and caring individuals. So as Kristen gets ready for her next chosen step on her educational path at UBCO, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you for helping my wife and I raise and educate our daughter and prepare her for whatever she wants to tackle in this world. There have been numerous unique and special connections with many of you over the years, and rather than name you (and raise the possibility of accidental exclusion) I will simply say, you know who you are, and we are/she is forever indebted and grateful. Your care and actions and efforts are impactful and truly appreciated. Enjoy your summer. Paul Morgan
solution to the Stickle Road interchange problem on Highway 97 north. C. Wills CULTURAL CELEBRATION I would like to thank the Okanagan Indian Band, Friendship Centre and Elders Society for the First Peoples’ Celebration they shared with all of us on June 13. I have always wanted to learn more about our First Nations neighbours and this event was a wonderful, fun opportunity to finally connect. It must have been a huge amount of work to set this up as there was so much to see and learn and do. The participants were all so willing and happy to share with us that it was quite a festive atmosphere. Everyone should take the opportunity to attend if we are lucky enough to have a third annual celebration next year. You will come away with a new appreciation and knowledge of our local First Nation. In one of the welcome speeches, we heard that the history of this area goes back for thousands of years, long before the first European settlers arrived, but that this history does not just belong to the local First Nations people. It belongs to all of us. For me, this wonderful, generously inclusive attitude summed up this day of sharing of their culture by the band. Thank you too to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre for opening their incredible site for the event and to Okanagan College for their collaboration. C. Hayden

There are 113 adult staff, including cadet instructor cadre officers and instructors, regular and reserve noncommissioned officers, staff cadets and civilians who fill positions as firefighters, office staff, gardeners, cleaners, laundry staff, warehouse staff and transport drivers. “Working together as a team, we can provide a safe, challenging and enjoyable experience for the cadets this summer,� said Lt-Col Judy Peter, commanding officer.� The most noticeable change at VCTC will be the addition of blue uniforms as air cadets will form a separate training squadron under the command of Major Faye Shore. The air cadets will train in Vernon because the cadet training centre at Penhold, Alberta, closed. Apart from their training, all cadets will have time to explore the city of Vernon and to go swimming at Okanagan Lake. Cadets also undertake civic projects and they will take part in the Okanagan Military Tattoo. In total, about 1,500 teens will spend the summer in Vernon, learning leadership skills, improving their fitness levels, making new friends and creating lasting memories.

RDCO releases expenses RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The North Westside’s former director says he represented residents to the best of his ability. Jim Edgson, who retired in November, had expenses of $8,864, according to the 2014 statement of financial information from the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Most of it is for driving but I also attended conferences and training sessions for electoral area directors,” he said. Jim Edgson Among Edgson’s regular duties were attending meetings with Okanagan Regional Library and the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition. “I also felt it was part of my responsibility to get up to date on legal matters,” he said. “To the benefit of constituents, I also decided that I could work with senior government and get things done.”
Beyond expenses, Edgson had remuneration of $21,015 in 2014. “I certainly wasn’t in it for the money and I was excited to serve people,” he said. One-third of local government officials’ salary is non-taxable and Edgson says he put that money into a fund for community activities. “People would come to me and up to $600, I’d write a cheque. There was the fire department, the soccer club and for awhile, I helped the farmers market,” he said. Wayne Carson, who was elected North Westside director in November, had a salary of $358 and no expenses. Among other RDCO board members, former chairperson Robert Hobson had remuneration of $37,863 and expenses of $6,353 while Lake Country director James Baker had a salary of $15,113 and expenses of $617. RDCO had total staff salaries of $8.2 million and expenses of $174,967 last year. Leading the pack was chief administrative officer Brian Reardon with a wage of $176,414 and expenses of $9,069.

Talbot insists he needs to be at the various committee tables to ensure the residents of Falkland and the the Salmon River Valley are being represented. “All of these issues affect your community, and if you don’t go, you don’t know what’s going on,” he said.

Pro D funding comes from the school district, usually in October; this year, Ladner said funds weren’t received until mid-February, a delay caused during the transition from outgoing secretary-treasurer Lewis Hill to acting secretary-treasurer Adrian Johnson. “As a result, I did receive feedback from teachers who did not participate in some of the Pro-Ds because they did not have the funds — it’s only $165 but it’s still $165.” This year, the VTA and the district matched funds for more than $14,000 in grants to support teacher inquiry, which provided grants to 12 groups of teachers for release time, resources and activities to pursue their projects. “Teacher inquiry is a method that involves the systematic, intentional study of a teacher’s own classroom practice,” said Ladner. A Celebration of Teacher Learning was held June 18, at which the inquiry project groups presented their learning as a result of this program and the grant. “The event showcased how autonomous PD creates passion and energy for teachers and improved learning for their students.” The VTA has a number of recommendations for the future of Pro D Days. “Professional learning is highly valued and that needs to come with time and money. We
hope that the board will continue to support teacher inquiry both financially and philosophically.” She said the changes unfolding in curriculum will require a high degree of autonomy by teachers, who are trusted as professionals and can adapt and implement curriculum in a variety of ways that meet the diverse needs of students. “This will provide challenges so we need time and space to play with that, but we’re usually a little ahead when it comes to curriculum anyway because we know it’s good practice.” The recent introduction of the provincial government’s Bill 11 calls for a new professional development structure. “We’re not sure what this will look like but teachers believe that autonomy over our PD is essential because the needs are so different from teacher to teacher and school to school,” said Ladner. “A top-down mandate on how PD days are spent is not likely to accommodate the needs of individual teachers or schools or motivate professionals into authentic learning. “One size will never fit all when it comes to teacher learning, and autonomous teacherdirected PD creates informed, inspired and engaged teachers. Advocacy for this form of professional learning is something we need to value and support.”
Heat warning issued for workers Morning Star Staff

With temperatures in the Okanagan Valley forecast to remain well-above the seasonal average through the weekend, WorkSafeBC is alerting employers and workers of an increased risk of developing symptoms of heat stress and heat stroke. “Workers in the construction, transportation and forestry sectors comprised the majority of the 27 timeloss claims we had in B.C. last year,” said Shawn Mitton, a WorkSafeBC regional prevention manager in the Okanagan. “But it’s important to remember
anyone working outside is potentially at risk.” Heat stress occurs when your internal temperature increases faster than the body can cool itself. Symptoms include excess sweating, dizziness and nausea. If not addressed quickly, additional symptoms such as heat cramps, or potentially lethal heat stroke can rapidly develop. WorkSafeBC requires employers to conduct heat stress assessments. Employers and workers can go to: Preventing Heat Stress at Work or contact the WorkSafeBC Prevention Line at 1-888-621-7233.

Pierce uses rugby for clear view TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Cameron Pierce transformed his life from lazy stoner to world-class rugby player, all because of one teacher’s influence. After flunking Grade 8 French and on the brink of failing Grade 9 English, Pierce was given an opportunity that changed his life. “It was a critical time in my life. My older brother passed away and I was struggling. I was smoking a lot of pot and being irresponsible,” said Pierce. “Thankfully, my English teacher, Mr. (Josh) Vance, approached me with the idea of joining the rugby team to help me stay on track.” Vance coached the Grade 8/9 Lakers rugby team with Alan McAndrew at Kalamalka. Pierce came back to where it all began to deliver his message to kids. He wanted to try and keep them off the path he was heading down until one day one of his mentors helped him out. “We all have difficult choices to make in life. I had the help of a teacher and it turned my life around,” said Pierce. This wasn’t Pierce’s first time speaking in front of a crowd. He regularly talks to elementary students in France, in French, a class he once failed.
“Cam has unbelievable determination and mental toughness,” said Ian Busfield, who coached Pierce in Grade 12. “I’m not surprised at all that all his work paid off and he accomplished exactly what he wanted to do with his life.” It was playing for Busfield when Pierce got noticed by a University of Victoria scout. After upgrading some classes over the summer, Pierce elected to attend UVic and helped the Vikings capture the B.C. Premier League in 2009-10. Following his second season at UVic, Pierce made the U20 National team and started in all six games. With the international exposure, came the pro contracts. Pierce signed an academy contract with the U23 Association Sportive Montferrandaise Clermont Auvergne in France when he was 19. He was an assistant captain. His work in the pro circuits earned him a spot on the Canadian men’s senior team and played Japan during the Pacific Nations Cup in Nagoya when he was 21. You can tell Pierce shops in the meat department at grocery stores. He stands 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 240 pounds. He even looks the part with a coarse black beard, a nose that has seen better days, hulk-like arms and a pair of cauliflower ears A month after the Pacific Nations Cup, he signed on with Selection Paloise, a team out of Pau, France, in the ProD2 Champions League. “This is the big time. I compare it to a hockey player from Belarus coming over to the NHL and playing against the Canucks,” said Pierce. A professional rugby career doesn’t come without a few major injuries. After a few years of rugby and growing up playing every contact sports imaginable, combined with his poor posture and gargantuan size, his neck gave out. “I had my C4 and C5 vertebrae fused together with four screws and a titanium plate was inserted,” recalls Pierce, who missed the next two tours with the Canadian team while he rehabilitated. “Doctors told me I would be lucky to walk again and I would never be able play rugby.” Well, clearly those doctors don’t read La République des Pyrénées, a French publication that covered Pierce and the Section Paloise as they won the ProD2 division last season and will be promoted into the Top 14, the most

During a break from training, he came back and delivered his message to a gym full of Kalamalka Secondary students (below). prestigious rugby league in the world. Pierce is considered small in this league. Guys playing in the second row are 20 to 30 pounds heavier. “Winning the championship was amazing, it was the most fun I’ve ever had. We have a great group of guys,” said Pierce. Pierce’s rugby league is divided into two divisions. The lower tier consists of 16 teams with the top two getting promoted into the Top 14. That is where his team is headed now. “It’s the best of the best. I’m going to be playing against guys from the (New Zealand) All Blacks and other players that play at the World Cup level,” said Pierce, who has signed on for two more years with the club. Living in Pau, a small town in the southwest of France, Pierce is a rock star. He plays in front of thousands of raving fans each night.
The city was in bedlam following the championship. The streets were shut down for one grand party. His face was appearing on bottles of Jurançon, a red wine sponsor for the club. Now 23, Pierce left for France on Sunday and will train there for three weeks. While his season in France begins mid-August, Pierce hopes to be in Victoria training with the National team in preparation for the World Cup which goes September in England. As for the future, just more rugby for Pierce. “I hope I can play rugby for another 10 years and I’ve always wanted to be a firefighter, so hopefully I can do that when my career is over.” Friends and family can follow Pierce’s career through his Facebook account; Cameron Pierce Rugby or follow him on Twitter @cdpierce4.

Cole Sanford was overlooked in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, but two teams invited the Vernon product to their orientation camps. Sanford, who compiled 50 goals and 95 points with the WHL Medicine Hat Tigers last season, rated invites from the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs. He was also undrafted in 2014. “After the draft I got a call from my agent saying they (Oilers) wanted me to attend the camp, and I ended up accepting the offer Sunday night,” Sanford told The Medicine Hat News. “Got the call Monday and got everything organized. Obviously, it feels good to finally get a chance to experience a NHL camp.” Sanford, who turns 20 July 31, underwent medical and fitness testing begins Wednesday. Sanford’s linemate, Trevor Cox, got an invite to Washington Capitals’ camp.

The Goplen Controllers downed the Adventure Bay Sistas 5-4 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters play Tuesday night while black smoke billowed across the sky at Marshall Field #4. Bobbi Catt set up Diane Neudorf near the left side of the goal and buried it on the right for the 1-9 Sistas. The Controllers evened the score minutes later when Michele Wernicke bent her corner right into the net. Sena Bishop was rewarded a free kick shortly after and arched it over the Sistas’ wall and into the top left corner. Neudorf sent a nice switch pass to Jessica Garro who snuck one in from the 18. Wernicke added her second goal by weaving along the goal line and finished it off with a hard boot off the far post and in. Neudorf finished the hat trick in the second half on feeds from Bobbi Cormier and Mel Skinner as the wind became vicious. Halfway through the second half, Leah Mulvhill dribbled around some Sista defenders and sniped a low shot on the left side. A number of short, crisp passes from the Controllers (4-5-1) in the final minutes led to the winning goal. Michelle Mercer fed a perfect cross to Melissa Henson at the top of the six-yard box and she
blasted a low shot to the left. Squires brush back Kickers The Squires Four Pub clipped the Chick Kickers 4-1 at Marshall Field #1. Leah Frye of Squires (8-1-1) sent Sarah Green off with a seeing-eye through ball to level the score at ones. Later, Irene Arrotta dished the ball to Green who cranked one off the post and in. The Pub Crew went into the half up 2-1. Frye sniped her second from Jennie Currie. Jacquie Hansen found Currie, who blasted the insurance tally top cheese. Marisa Weibe and Jill Rintoul owned the half line and kept the Kickers’ (5-4-1) attack to a minimum as Lisa Arrotta made great saves.

Lana Finley drilled her team leading 10th goal from a nifty chip pass from Mairi Horth. Dyllan Walraven subbed in for Shannon after the hatty and lobbed a shot over the head of the Celtic keeper. Finley walked through the middle of the field untouched and unleashed a rocket from outside the 18. The Celtics dip to 5-5-1.
A few Vernon and area players were hotter than the searing temperatures in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series at The Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna. The golfers battled for division titles, international exemptions, and the team interclub title Monday and Tuesday. Lionel Taylor, 19, of Kelowna, carded 68-70-138 to defeat defending champion Steven Lee, 19, also of Kelowna, who shot 69-71-140. “I didn’t make very many mistakes, and made about five 40-footers,” said Taylor. “I feel really good about winning – I’ve been up there every year and it was nice to win.” Third place in Junior Boys went to Matthew Kreutz, 18, of Coldstream, who came in at even par (71-73-144). After starting out four shots back on Day 2, Marcus Apchin, 16, of Kelowna, pulled ahead and won the Juvenile Boys title, firing 76-74-150 for a threestroke victory over Mitchell Thiessen, 16, of Chilliwack (72-81-153).

Two 12-year-old Calgary boys were on the MJT Pee Wee podium, after Cooper Lindberg shot 73-83156 for the win, and Richard Dou (84-77-161) tied HONDA for second with eight-year-old Ryan Vest of Vernon, BANNISTER bannisterhonda.com who shot 83-78-161.

mine another person. Frequently they have experienced bullying at some point in their life that has left them feeling inadequate. So they over-compensate and treat others the way they were treated. In an ironic way, what happened to them created an emotional void, so when they treat others in the same way, it feels both familiar and normal. If you think that you are being bullied at work, ask yourself if your stress levels have gone into overdrive; if you have a tenuous grasp on your self esteem; if you feel like you are constantly on edge; if you have poor concentration; headaches; memory issues; feel emotional and find yourself crying at work; have extreme fatigue and sleep problems – all can be signs of being bullied. Being bullied is bad for your health. It

If you are a student, or are the grandparent or parent of a student who is experiencing bullying, check out www.stopabully.ca Bullying strips you of your sense of well being, makes you doubtful about your abilities at work, and generally sends your world spinning into a dark place where you may question your own sanity. We all deserve to be treated with respect and bullying of any degree is never acceptable under any circumstances.

Hot temperatures push electrical demand up Morning Star Staff
The sustained heat wave provincewide is having an impact on electricity demand. On Saturday evening, B.C. Hydro recorded an increase of 15 per cent in the peak hourly load over Saturday last week. The peak hourly load – the highest hourly demand observed throughout the day – was 861 megawatts higher than the previous Saturday. On Sunday, there was an increase of 10 per cent, or 617 megawatts, in the peak hourly load over the previous Sunday. The increases are more than the equivalent of running an additional generating unit at the Mica dam and generating station – one of the largest generating stations in the province. B.C. Hydro expects the higher than normal electricity demand to continue throughout the week as temperatures in the province climb. Although there is a significant

OPEN TODAY!
increase in provincial electricity load during a sustained heat wave, B.C. Hydro still records the highest demand in the winter. This is in contrast to utilities in California and Ontario, where the highest peaks are experienced in the summer months due to the widespread use of air conditioning. There are a number of ways British Columbians can save money during the heat wave. n Keep the blinds down: shade your windows and block up to 65 per cent of the heat. n Use a ceiling fan: ceiling fans are the most efficient option for cooling. Ensure the fan is rotating counterclockwise. n Keep the clothes dryer off: hang your laundry to dry and avoid the clothes dryer to keep unnecessary heat out of your house. n Cook outside: use the barbeque to cook outside to reduce the use of your stove or oven.

Dancing all the way to Winnipeg For The Morning Star
This summer, a young Vernon ballet student is living out a dream – dancing at one of the most renowned dance schools in the country. At just 13 years old, Kendra JonesMunk is travelling halfway across the country to attend the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s (RWB) summer session pre-professional ballet program. Every year, hundreds of young dancers from around the world audition for a chance to be selected for this prestigious program. Jones-Munk, who auditioned in the Kelowna open auditions held earlier this year at the Canadian School of Ballet, says she is living the dream of all young ballerinas: the chance to train among the elite students and faculty in Winnipeg. “I’m excited, nervous and freaking out,” she said, before leaving for Manitoba’s capital Tuesday. “I have a whole range of emotions. This will be
the longest time I’ve been away from home in my whole life, but it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I’m sure of it.” Jones-Munk’s love of dance began when she was just three years old. Her mother, Melanie Munk, enrolled her in a dance class at the Vernon Recreation Complex, and was surprised to find out the class was actually a beginner ballet class. “That wasn’t what I signed her up for, but she loved it,” said Munk. Showing promise at the young age of three, Jones-Munk’s first teacher, Nicole Kostrosky, encouraged her to enter Accentz School of Dance for continued training. And dance she did. “She rarely walked; she danced everywhere. Every photograph taken of her had to have a dance pose...,” said Munk, adding her daughter’s biggest fans also include her dad, Ken, and grandma, Sharon. “When the results of the (RWB)
audition showed that Kendra had been selected for the program, I think the scream could be heard for blocks.” Jones-Munk has continued her ballet training at Accentz, and she has also explored tap, modern and jazz dance. However, her first love has always been ballet. “Kendra has always been known as a hard worker during her dance classes,” said Accentz owner Becky Martselos. “She remains focused and always strives to do her very best.” Through the years, Jones-Munk has taken part in many competitions, both in group and solo routines. She has always brought home medals and has placed in the top three for her ballet solos and in her group routines. She also received Dancer of the Year when she was six years old, and last June was honoured with a scholarship from Accentz to aid in furthering her dance education.

Morning Star Staff
Those kilted lads and lassies are back to blow off a little steam make that some award winning hot air. The world champion Simon Fraser University (SFU) Pipe Band is once again in Vernon to teach piping, drumming, and Highland dancing atop Silver Star Mountain for the 22nd annual Piping Hot Summer Drummer school. Each year, hundreds of students travel from across the globe to learn from members of the band, who will be at the hill from Sunday to July 10 and July 12 to 17. While in the area, the SFU Pipe Band will also give a public performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre July 12. Featuring more than 40 of the best bagpipers, drummers, and dancers in the world, the public can see the band at the top of its game just one month before it competes at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. The SFU Pipe Band is a unique anomaly in that it is one of only four bands from outside the U.K. to win at the worlds, which it has done six times since 1995. “We love to perform at the highest level and we’re always striving to improve,” said pipe sergeant Jack Lee, one of the band’s founding members. “Each year, our goal is to go to Glasgow and beat the Scots and Irish at their own game.” According to the SFU Pipe Band, this province adopted the pipes from Scottish settlers that moved to B.C. in the 19th and 20th centuries – long before the SFU Pipe Band rose to prominence. However, the bagpipes are actually believed to have been developed in the Middle East before migrating their way throughout Europe with travelling minstrels. Eventually, the bagpipes settled in the British Isles and are now the national instrument of Scotland. The concert in Vernon is part of the
a total of seven times.” The SFU Pipe Band takes the stage at the Performing Arts Centre Sunday, July 12 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $31 (general admission seating) at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www. ticketseller.ca.

Nous Sommes Prets, the name of the concert, is modeled after SFU’s motto and means “We are Ready.” “We are so excited to be coming back to Vernon and we will definitely be ready to put on a spectacular show,” said Lee. “We’re going to play some of our
most popular pieces, but we also have a few surprises and new and exciting sets of music we’re going to unveil.” The SFU Pipe Band is famous in pipe band circles for pushing the boundaries of the piping world in albums recorded at prestigious venues, including the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, and the Lincoln Center in New York. In addition to the SFU Pipe Band, the concert will also feature a solo performance from one of the world’s best solo pip-

Civil Wars singer goes solo
A
Joy Williams: Venus
merican singer/songwriter Joy Williams’ new album, Venus is a re-emergence after the breakup of her folk duo The Civil Wars. Venus is a bounce back recording and Williams draws on her past as a former Christian pop singer and reborn gothic folk singer. Those expecting the haunted atmospherics of The Civil Wars may be disDean Gordon-Smith appointed by Venus. The duo’s beguiling antique folk personality won them several Grammys and gave them much alternative cred. Williams skips the brooding undertones of her former group and
Street SoundS
replaces that acoustic sensibility with electronically directed songs. She showcases vulnerability in her vocal performance and this gives the record a confessional tinge. The songs are honest but sometimes the pace drags. The catharsis that threads the material together ramps the energy up at several points. Woman (Oh Mama) has Williams pouring her heart out over a tribal beat. This song has a dynamic connection with her previous work as does When the Levee. These songs have a wide appeal while Williams also crafts an individual sound that merges the synth-pop of her early years with the passionate bluesiness of her later music. The Dying Kind keeps the mystery going – a mood Williams is naturally drawn to. Venus isn’t exciting enough to be drawn to immediately, but Williams’ vocal persona and dusky songs are easy on the senses.
Work ethic pays off for local dancer Continued from A26 Jones-Munk’s ballet teacher, Amie Roussel says she is impressed by her student’s work ethic and the dedication to the many hours of independent practise she puts in. “I’ve always encouraged Kendra to take part in outreach programs, whether it be through master classes when visiting dance companies come to town or in the form of summer camps,” said Roussel, adding last summer, Jones-Munk had the opportunity to work with dancers from a professional Russian dance company. This past fall, Roussel encouraged Jones-Munk to audition for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet when the tour came to Kelowna. “It would be a great experience, and would give her another chance to learn from professionals,” said Roussel. At the RWB summer session,
Jones-Munk, along with two other Accentz dance students, brothers Cameron and Jonathan FraserMonroe, will train among those aspiring to become professional ballet dancers. Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet School professional division was founded in 1970 by former principal dancer David Moroni, who was asked by the RWB board of directors to establish a professional training institution to further the development of the RWB Company. The RWB school, located in historic downtown Winnipeg, is a state-of-the-art facility designed and built specifically for dance. The school contains 12 spacious, sprung-floor studios, including a 150-seat performance space. Graduates and alumni work on four continents as dancers, teachers, artistic directors, choreographers, and arts administrators in
companies and schools worldwide. Students are evaluated during the summer session, and some of them will be offered a chance to continue through the year, where they will attend academic classes and dance. The academic program is a full-time, seven-level program and provides permanent housing to up to 70 students between the ages of 10 and 18 during the school year. Over the duration of the summer, Jones-Munk will spend time each day doing ballet, modern/ creative movement and character/ historical dance, learn anatomy, music appreciation, pointe, and jazz. She will also take advantage of a variety of social outings and activities with the other students, with one of the highlight being a visit to the Assiniboine Zoo, and meeting “Kendra,” a Siberian tiger who lives there and shares her namesake.

The festival has also added three acts, who
will deliver tunes from the songbooks of The Grateful Dead to celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary. Mark Karan, Jason Crosby and Edmonton’s Tacoy Ryde will come armed with a ton of material from the Dead songbook and will also be doing workshops and jam sessions. The final addition to the festival is renowned guitarist Wendell Ferguson. “Wendell was on his way to teaching at the Nimble Fingers camp in Sorrento so we had to grab him as he was headed that way,” said festival director Peter North, who will be using Ferguson on a honkytonk workshop with Prairie Oyster’s Russell deCarle on the Saturday and as an emcee on main stage Saturday night.

Guitarist tours on new albums Morning Star Staff
He’s been heard on countless tours and albums with Canadian songstress Sarah McLachlan, and now guitarist Sean Ashby is returning to the North Okanagan with his latest solo tour. Ashby will perform on six different guitars for a show at Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek, Sean Ashby tonight. “My show is vocal-song-guitar driven. It’s a one-man band show with beats and bass. I play lap steel/ Weissenborn guitar (like a dobro) and twangy electric guitars,” he said. “It’s a fun show. I joke with the audience and keep the night lighthearted.” Ashby is touring on his two brand, new albums – one (Surf Guitar Smash Hits) features instrumental surf guitar music, and the other (Lodestone and Iron) is his most recent solo album featuring guitar and vocals in the Americana-roots genre. Ashby is probably best known for his playing on McLachlan’s hit records Mirrorball and Afterglow, which sold more than 12 million copies in the U.S. alone. “I was with Sarah through her commercial/artistic peak,” said Ashby, adding he joined the singer
at all three of her Lillth Fair festivals. Ashby also appeared on the Grammys twice with McLachlan and another time with McLachlan and Alison Krauss of Union Station fame. He has also appeared with McLachlan on talk shows hosted by Conan O’Brien, Ellen Degeneres, David Letterman and Jay Leno when he hosted The Tonight Show as well as on Saturday Night Live and at the 2008 Christmas tree lighting at New York’s Rockefeller Centre. He and McLachlan also saw many of their songs appear on TV shows as well as on the feature film, I am Sam, which featured their cover of The Beatles’ Blackbird. Ashby has also played with Vancouver electronic musical duo Delerium and with Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, of Run DMC fame, on the song Cats in the Cradle (Just Like Me) with McLachlan. With five solo albums out and two others with the band he fronts, Jack Tripper (nominated in 2002 for Best Rock Record at the Western Canadian Music Awards), Ashby now tours full time across Canada and the U.S. Ashby will take the stage at around 8 p.m. tonight at Lorenzo’s, located at 901 Mabel Lake Rd. east of Enderby. Cover is $10. Call 250-838-6700 to reserve a seat.

Garden grows to new heights at St. James Students learn that not only eating, but growing your own vegetables is good for you Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
School may be out for summer, but the garden boxes at St. James are still overflowing with good green things to eat and the students are now full of new knowledge on how to grow, prepare and enjoy local produce. “It’s really cool having all these plants,” said St. James student Dominick Kitzman. “We already ate some radishes and we have beans and potatoes and really big sunflowers.” Fellow student James Lockwood, who lives on a farm, shares his experience and advice. “We fertilized with cow manure and that seemed to help things grow a lot. And we make sure we water things the right way. The carrots are almost ready now.” The gardens are part of the School Garden Landed Learning program started by Dr. Linda Peterat, professor emerita at the University of British Columbia, who initiated the Landed Learning project at the UBC Farm in Vancouver. The Vernon program is run with the Okanagan Science Centre and local volunteer master gardeners serve as advisors. The junior gardeners in this particular project come from teacher Heidi Routley’s Grade 3 and 4 class at St. James School. “The children love the program and it

She has done things like have them look at cells and roots with a microscope. Then we come out to the garden to weed and water and take care of things. We have already eaten some of the produce and we will have a harvest dinner in September.” The students have also learned how to identify native plants that can be safely eaten and about other crops that grow locally. Volunteer nutritionist Jan Hillis provides the lessons on nutrition and recipes. Students are encouraged to try things that are new to them. “My child was eating dandelions. I can’t get him to eat greens at home,” laughed parent volunteer Jan Barnard. Students also tried rhubarb iced tea and leeks, and made their own granola and bean sprouts.

St. James School students Dominick Kitzman (left) and James Lockwood say the trick to growing the tallest sunflower is the manure fertilizer. The students joined their classmates in growing and maintaining their own gardens through the School Garden Landed Learning program run locally by the Okanagan Science Centre. There’s always something new to learn. “I like to learn about the insects, what’s good, like lady bugs and butterflies and bees and worms and the ones that eat your garden like beetles and maggots. You always
want to know if there’s bad insects in your garden because they can kill your entire garden and you have to know how to get rid of them,” said Kitzman. “We all really like having this garden here at school.”
Find out which predators love to ‘badger’ marmots Submitted to The Morning Star
Marmots are a fan favourite at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, however, they are not without their critics. Badgers and rattlesnakes, in particular, cause marmots a fair amount of grief. That being said, these critters have their own story as a native species to Vernon. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a badger tick, visit the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Wednesday at 7 p.m. to listen to Dr. Karl Larsen in his presentation, “Marmots beware: badgers and rattlers on the hunt.” Paired with ABNC’s summer
Support healthcare in your community
camp, Marmot Mania, Dr. Larsen will focus on two other animals that cause problems for marmots, the western rattlesnake and the North American badger. Both of these critters are known predators of marmots, although they take very different approaches to hunting. Dr. Larsen will bring in research from his lab on rattlesnakes and badgers to illustrate how amazing these two predators are, and how they can impact marmots and other small mammal populations. He will also explain the conservation issues facing rattlesnakes
ogy and conservation of smaller vertebrates, particularly reptiles, amphibians and mammals. He and his graduate students have worked on a wide array of species, including spadefoot toads, goshawks, pillbugs, turtles, squirrels, marmots, and of course, snakes and badgers. Larsen currently teaches wildlife conservation courses and a field course in Belize, Central America, within the department of natural resource sciences at TRU. Admission to his talk at the ABNC Wednesday is by donation. For more information, visit www.abnc.ca.

Les Brown, a motivational speaker, said, “Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed, then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.” At the bridge table, make each deal count by setting the specific goal of making or breaking the contract, then putting every effort into achieving that target. There is no need to work hard for an overtrick or an extra undertrick (unless you are playing in a pair event). In yesterday’s deal, East had to find five defensive tricks. Today, South must come up with 10 offensive winners. How should he plan the play in four spades after West cashes his two
top hearts, then shifts to the club king? In the auction, note East’s two-heart advance. After an opening bid, a takeout double and a redouble (showing 10-plus points), East was marked with next to nothing. But he should pass only with no marked preference among the unbid suits. Here he much preferred hearts to diamonds and clubs, so bid that suit. North’s three-spade rebid showed game-invitational values with exactly three-card spade support, which South should have passed out. Can you see 10 tricks? They have to be five spades, four diamonds and one club. This might require taking three diamond finesses, and if so, speed is of the
essence. At trick four, South must play a diamond to dummy’s 10. When it wins, he cashes the spade queen, leads a spade to his king, and repeats the diamond finesse. Then he returns to the spade ace (drawing East’s last trump), takes a third diamond finesse, and claims.

Frances Helena Nikon (nee Chocholacek) Our wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Frances Nikon passed away peacefully with her family by her side on June 27th, 2015. She was an artist, an activist and a community builder. She was instrumental in starting the “I Care Canada” campaign which resulted in the big flag on the mountainside in Falkland, B.C. We are proud of her work in local communities, with youth and people with disabilities and, in always searching for ways to make a difference. She leaves wonderful memories for her husband Peter, her children Bill, Anne, Polly and Sandy, her brother Venny, 10 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. We are saddened but are glad she is now at peace. In respecting Frances’ wishes, she was cremated and no service will be held. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Frances to the North Okanagan Hospice Society 3506 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4. We would like to thank all of the staff at Hospice for the wonderful care and compassion shown to mom in her final days. Cremation arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 (250) 542-1187

organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended. The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was restrained in blowing its own trumpet on location. All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test. Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h. By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”

Youngsters fear other drivers more than death By Keith Morgan
Public speaking just lost the top spot as the most feared task for the young generation.
Distracted, dangerous drivers are now their first concern, new research funded by Ford finds.
Generation Z consumers are more afraid of other motorists driving dangerously than death, public speaking, spiders and snakes, according to independent research company Penn Schoen Berland. Top fears for Millennials and members of Generation Z: • Other motorists driving dangerously (88 percent) • Public speaking (75 percent) • Death (74 percent) • Spiders (69 percent) • Snakes (69 percent) “Younger generations are growing up with different fears than their parents or grandparents,” said Kevin Shkolnik, vice president, Penn Schoen Berland. “Younger drivers are worried about distracted drivers, but they think technology isn’t just the problem, it’s also the solution, as we are seeing growing demand for driver-assistance technologies.”
validates its decision to offer technologies that will help drivers with common driving concerns. Ford has now announced it will migrate driver-assist technologies across its product lineup over the next five years. “Research like this is important to Ford and other automotive brands because it informs us about the situations that cause consumers the most stress,” said Crystal Worthem, Ford brand marketing manager. “As driver distraction and safety conversations have broadened, we are seeing what technology will help customers tackle their greatest fears.” The research shows 65 percent of respondents are more likely to purchase a vehicle if it has technology to help with parallel parking. Of those polled, 62 percent want technology to detect objects in blind spots. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
The most worrisome driving situations among survey respondents include: • Snowy or icy roads (79 percent) • Manoeuvring into a tight parking spot (75 percent) • Backing out onto a busy street (74 percent) • Monitoring blind spots (70 percent) • Not knowing where I’m going (69 percent) Penn Schoen Berland conducted the poll on behalf of Ford Motor Company, surveying 1,000, Generation Z (ages 16-22) and Generation Y (ages 23-34). The online survey was conducted between April 29 and May 4, 2015; the margin of error is +/- 3.1 percent. Ford says the new research
