Stickle plans driving ahead
MAZE MASTERS
RICHARD ROLKE
LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR
Morning Star Staff
Isabella Haxby, six, and her cousin Brianna Mebs, nine, of Edmonton, charge out of the corn maze at Historic O’Keefe Ranch Saturday. The maze is open seven days a week.
Vernon-Monashee’s MLA is adamant that plans for a dangerous intersection are proceeding despite significant opposition. The Ministry of Transportation has developed a T intersection to improve safety at Stickle Road and Highway 97 although the City of Vernon, residents and businesses have demanded a traffic signal. “The traffic engineers say a light won’t help Eric Foster there,” said MLA Eric Foster. “I don’t think a traffic light there will be supported (by the ministry).” The new proposal calls for a protected T intersection to allow for left turns from Stickle Road on to the highway towards Vernon. There would be a separate left turn with turn-around access for the Silver Star RV Park area and the ministry would eliminate highway crossmovements and left-hand turns from the RV park.
There would also be new acceleration lanes leaving Stickle Road and existing deceleration lanes entering Stickle Road from the highway would be lengthened. “It definitely answers the concerns of left-hand turns off Stickle Road (to Vernon),” said Foster. “It answers the safety issue.” On Monday, Vernon council members unanimously spoke against the ministry’s proposal, saying that a traffic signal is the preferred option to allow motorists to access the highway. The ministry insists a signal would negatively impact safety and result in delays and traffic queues. “The issue of a traffic light is about traffic flow and thousands of cars go through there every day,” said Foster. The new proposal will go before the Regional District of North Okanagan board July 22 and the Ministry of Transportation will hold a public open house July 29 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Hotel. The ministry proposal for Stickle Road can be viewed at www.vernon. ca/transportation. Comments can be e-mailed to eng@vernon.ca and they will be forwarded to the ministry.
GVAC clarifies restrictions process RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local politician insists the tightening of water use wasn’t an arbitrary decision. Some residents have questioned the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee’s recent shift to stage one water restrictions. “Staff are responding to the drought response plan we have in place,” said Juliette Cunningham, chairperson, adding that stakeholders were involved in developing the plan. Stage one restrictions were implemented
because of current dry conditions and reservoirs being drawn down. “We want to do everything we can to avoid going to the next stage and we want to make residents aware of the situation,” said Cunningham. Cunningham also says there is a need to preserve the water supply for months to come. “We don’t know what will happen before next year (with the weather) so we want to take action now.” Under stage one, residents can water:
• Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Saturday if their property has an odd address number. • Wednesday, Friday, and/or Sunday if their property has an even address number. • Automatic timer irrigation may operate between the hours from midnight to 6 a.m. • Manual sprinklers (moved by hand) may be used between the hours of 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight. • Drip irrigation may operate between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. (could previously run anytime under normal restric-
tions). • Customers using a watering can or hose with spring-loaded nozzle may hand water anytime. More details can be found at www.rdno. ca/waterrestrictions. Cunningham says other communities are looking to Greater Vernon’s drought response plan, particularly because of climate change. “If temperatures keep increasing, this will be more commonplace,’” she said of pressures on water supply.

Midsummer’s paints a picturesque eve LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
Guests milled around high tables draped with white tablecloths, with rows of grape vines, the mountains and Okanagan Lake hanging like a painting in the background. The Vernon Public Art Gallery’s 29th annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts Wednesday night at Turtle Mountain Winery raised $48,000 making the event a grand success. “We are just thrilled to see the outpouring of community support, truly a sign of how much the community values the work we do,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director of the Vernon Public Art Gallery. With beverages in hand from Gray Monk Winery and Okanagan Spring Brewery, attendees browsed through tables of silent auction items and art and previewed the live auction pieces donated by local artists, as volunteers came by with trays of artfully made appetizers. Liz MacArthur and her friend Cheryl Schmidt enjoy the change of location from where it was traditionally held at the Caetani Cultural Centre. “When you are at a live art auction it is wonderful to be surrounded by such beauty,” said MacArthur. One of the draws of the event is the lively auction that brothers Peter and Don Raffan have been tag teaming since the fundraiser’s infancy. The auctioneers are the owners of Valley Auction and are more accustomed to moving cattle than works of art. “We enjoy it every year, it is a nice change,” said Don Raffan. “Cows, horses or art, it’s all

The top seller of the night was Briar Craig’s Protect Your Smile, which sold for $3,600. Other big ticket items were a piece by Rick Bond for $3,000 and Kara Barkved for $2,000.

News Complex set for 48th Avenue RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A major commercial/residential development is proposed for a high-profile Vernon location. City council gave two readings to bylaws Monday that would allow a three-storey, 85-unit apartment with 4,050-square-feet of commercial space to be constructed on the former Kal Tire office site on 48th Avenue. “We are trying to create neighbourhood centres and there’s lots of amenities there people can walk to,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “This is a great project in a viable area.” Craig Broderick The proposal from the applicant, N&T Properties, calls for 45 one-bedroom units and 40 twobedroom units. They would range in size from 680-square-feet to 1,045-square-feet. “The building has largely been vacant since Kal Tire relocated to its new headquarters in October 2012,” said Craig Broderick, the city’s economic development planner, in a report. “As part of the project, the existing office building will be demolished.” Broderick says the applicant has proposed the development in response to demand for rental accommodation. “The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation rental market report indicates that the vacancy rate in Vernon dropped to 4.1 per cent in April 2014 from 7.7 per cent in April 2013,” he said. The other factor is the lack of interest in the existing 30,000-square-foot commercial floor space on the property. “The owner has been trying to attract tenants to the space since before they relocated in October 2012,” said Broderick. Construction of the complex could be between $10 and $12 million. A public hearing for the proposed zoning changes will be held Aug. 10 at 5:30 p.m. at city hall.

Grant bolsters job skills RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An initiative that makes a significant difference in the lives of young people is getting a boost. The federal government announced $299,000 Thursday for Community Futures North Okanagan’s Employ program. “This program in every literal term has changed my life,” said participant Symphony Hollett. “I’m able to help my family. I have the opportunity to be that person who does something other than her (mom) always doing something for me.” Katelyn Mackenzie is also in the three-week class. “With no experience, no job. It’s a tough cycle to break,” she said. However, since signing up for Employ, Mackenzie, like Hollett, has landed a job. Among her first actions was helping her mom purchase a car.

“So many of my family have had birthdays and I have money now,” said Mackenzie. Program participants learn or improve job skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. They will also attend certificate courses such as first aid or CPR, and they will gain work experience with local employers. “We are looking for individuals wanting to pay their own way and to be contributing members of society,” said Angie Fisher, Employ co-ordinator. “Our job is to fill the tool box of these youth with skills.” The federal funding will assist 60 youth. “Investing in human resources is the greatest investment government can make,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “The issue is connecting youth with jobs. Many youth are struggling to get their foot in the door. The funding is focused on helping young people reach their potential in the job market.”
Course gets water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Water will soon be flowing at the Lumby Golf Club. Village council agreed Monday to extend a water line to the 39-acre, nine-hole property, which has sand greens. “It’s really needed. Water has been required for some time,” said Coun. Julie Pilon. The club has not been able to connect to water in the past because of financial constraints. It will cost the village about $6,800 to extend a water line to the site, and one of the immediate benefits will be washroom facilities. “The golf course needs to survive,” said Pilon. “It will bring people to Lumby. If you don’t have amenities, you can’t bring customers in.” Mayor Kevin Acton defends using village resources to extend the water line to the non-profit golf club. “It’s village-owned property and we’re trying to boost a group working on economic development for the community,” he said.

City goes after funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Senior government cash is rolling into Vernon coffers and there’s a push to get even more. Between Jan. 1 and June 30, the city received $408,858 in federal and provincial grants. “We’re getting a lot of little grants because we’re putting in for everything we can,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “But we’re not getting large grants. I’m not displeased (with the results to date) but we could use some grants for our water system. We’re sending out applications to everyone.” Lord points out that the federal and provincial governments each pumped $519,333 towards a new sewer lift station in Lumby. The $406,858 the city has received so far this year has gone towards community safety, crime reduction, health and wellness, greenhouse gas reduction, infrastructure assessments and upgrades, tourism programs, liability reduction and facility accessibility. Among them were $125,548 for the sewage facilities annual grant, $88,481 for the climate action revenue incentive program and $6,529 for

youth crime prevention. During the first six months of 2015, the city submitted 18 grant applications worth a total of $3.4 million. “Several large grant applications are currently in process, including the New Build Canada Fund application for the Okanagan Landing sewer extension ($2.4 million) and the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program ($499,994),” said Tanya Laing Gahr, the city’s communications and grants co-ordinator, in a report. “Grant funding opportunities continue to be a priority in 2015 as a means of providing support for new and ongoing city projects that bring value to the organization and the community at large.”
Hiker rescued from Enderby Cliffs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon Search and Rescue crews were called into action after a woman became stranded on the Enderby Cliffs. The woman, who is in her 30s, went hiking alone Tuesday afternoon. “She had never been there before, it’s a difficult climb and it was hot out. She got exhausted,” said Leigh Pearson, Vernon Search and Rescue search master. Instead of sticking to the trail to go back to the bottom, the woman attempted to take a shortcut across country. “She got into a drainage system and that’s when she got into real trouble,” said Pearson. The woman used a cellular phone to call for help and it took search volunteers two hours to walk into the area. A helicopter was used to remove the woman from the scene. “She was a little dehydrated. B.C. Ambulance checked her out and let her go home,” said Pearson.
Pearson has some advice for hikers, including taking water and food that helps replenish electrolytes. “Don’t go alone, especially when you are not familiar with an area,” he said.

The long road home
f TV commercials are to be believed, summer is the time to grab friends and family, hop in a convertible and hit the open road. It’s a wonderful idea and a great way to get to know this huge, beautiful diverse country we call home. I’ve done many road trips in places both far from home and nearby. When I was five, my family and I drove from Nova Scotia back west through the U.S. It was a long time ago and some details are sketchy, but I still recall a visit to Paul Revere’s house in Boston and staying at the historic Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. I’ve been lucky enough to see huge Katherine Mortimer chunks of Europe from the comfort of a Volkswagen Westfalia, stopping wherever the mood strikes and doing a spot of camping on the side of the road, even in Greece, where signs clearly warned, “No freelance camping.” But in the last few years, road trips for us have involved leaving Vernon and spending the next 12 or 13 hours on the road in a bid to get to Swift Current, Sask., my husband’s hometown and where his family still lives. It’s a beautiful drive, past the sparkling Mara Lake, through Revelstoke and Yoho National Parks and then of course through Canada’s pride and joy, the Rocky Mountains. I’ve done the drive countless times, and those craggy peaks never fail to inspire. Every time we make the drive I think how lovely it would be to make a few stops along the way: The Enchanted Forest near Revelstoke, perhaps a stroll through the Banff town centre, a visit to Medicine Hat’s historic downtown and then a side trip to my grandparents’ hometown of Drumheller to visit the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum. The list of fun things to do between here and Swifty is endless. When we have broken up the trip in Calgary in the past, we usually wonder why we bother. Why unpack for one night when it’s just another five hours in a straight line? And our daugh-
AT RANDOM
ter is usually chomping at the bit to get there, anxious to see her GG, Papa and cousins. No worries, I always tell myself, as we can enjoy all of these touristy delights on our way back. After all, we have an entire two weeks off from work, all the time in the world. I have been making this trip, usually by car, occasionally by air (still a long trip, what with a change of planes and a more than twohour drive from the Regina airport) for 20 years and I have in-laws I adore and nieces I love. But one of these days I’d like to actually see other parts of Saskatchewan, such as Moose Jaw or Saskatoon. I did get to enjoy a day at the Mennonite Heritage Village, next to Doc’s Town (similar to O’Keefe Ranch), where we enjoyed a thoroughly interesting tour. When we were invited to sit down at the big farmhouse kitchen table for coffee with tour guide Liz Unger and her husband, Cornie, I jumped at the chance. The kids enjoyed ice tea and cookies and I enjoyed the stories told by these lifelong Saskatchewan residents. It was warm, friendly and relaxed. It was so much fun to do something touristy that I was happy to hand over $15 for a cookbook (we’ve already made the apple cake and the jelly roll). Those of you whose families all live in the North Okanagan, I envy you. How wonderful to have family nearby, to pick up the phone and go for a quick coffee, a walk, a trip to the beach. And how wonderful that your holidays might actually involve somewhere that requires a passport. After Swift Current, we spent three nights in Calgary with my brother and sister-inlaw. It was glorious: big city delights such as dim sum for lunch and wonderful visits to Heritage Park and the Calgary Zoo followed by ice-cold beverages on the deck at night. And those fun stops I said we’d make on the way back to Vernon didn’t happen: I spent the seven-hour drive home sleeping because after a day in the hot sun at the zoo I ended up with heat exhaustion. I managed to wake up as we pulled into the D&E Drive-in for milkshakes, happy to be home and thankful for our good fortune that has us living in a place that the rest of the country visits for vacation.
Some residents have questioned the process since the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee initiated stage one water restrictions. There have been some suggestions that the restrictions aren’t necessary or that the regional district acted arbitrarily and didn’t involve elected officials. However, that isn’t the case. “Staff are responding to the drought response plan we have in place,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. That plan first originated in 2010 when a drought response team was established. It was compromised of 26 individuals from throughout the community, including the hospitality sector, landscapers, farmers, government agencies and rank-and-file residents. Through the committee’s hard work, a plan was developed that would not only provide consistency but establish a clear trigger mechanism for implementation based on reservoir levels, snowpack, precipitation trends, economic activity and population growth. Beyond the stakeholders on the committee, the drought management plan went beyond the public for extensive consultation prior to being adopted by GVAC. Given what appears to be a growing trend of reduced snowpack and warm springs, the concept of a drought management plan makes sense as every drop of water counts heading into the fall and the new year. Yes there are concerns about GVAC’s handling of the master water plan and the failed $70 million referendum, but those are completely unrelated issues to handling water supply during a long, dry summer. There should be absolutely no surprises when it comes to water restrictions.

Agriculture water rates put in context
I
am replying to Gerry Laarakker's letter of June 28 concerning agricultural water. The rate per cubic meter paid by farmers for agricultural water is far lower than the domestic rate and for good reason. Farmers do not need treated water. However, treated water is today being utilized on a significant proportion of the local farm land. Why? To understand how this came about, we have to go back to the early 1960s when the politicians of Vernon, Coldstream and the surrounding areas decided to utilize chlorinated agricultural water to meet the escalating domestic water needs. They contracted with the agricultural supplier, the Vernon Irrigation District, to provide this water, which met domestic water standards in force at the time. All water was distributed through one common set of pipes. This dual use water system worked well for the next 20 years. It allowed for the growth in urban residential areas, plus commercial and industrial interests. At the same time, owners of the many rural properties in the area had a dependable supply of water for their THANK YOU The Vernon MS Society would like to thank everyone for their support of our annual walk/run/ ride and silent auction, where we made $13,965. Our annual Mother's Day carnation sale made $564 and we send all carnation funds to the University of B.C. for MS research. We will also send 30 per cent of our annual walk/run/ride ($4,189) to UBC for research too. We feel that $4,754 is a nice donation from the small Vernon MS Society. We are not affiliated with the MS Society of Canada. We use our funds to supply needy people right here in the Okanagan with medical equipment, transportation, home support and our drop-in centre. We could not do this without your help. Rene Gendron, president Vernon MS Society PM REVIEWED Previously in this newspaper, there was a call for an impartial evaluation of Stephen Harper. It is fair request and I agree with it. This is my attempt to be fair based on these four criteria: domestic policy, international relations, economy, and environment.
homes and fields. However, in the 1990s, new domestic water standards were introduced which made it necessary to improve the water quality by means of enhanced treatment. Since treatment is expensive and agricultural water does not require same, the technical solution was to have
I’d like to start with something positive, the economy. Nobody can deny that Mr. Harper’s economic policies are working. In addition to his own economic conceptions, he has encircled himself with the right people for the right job (notable naming the late minister of finance, Jim Flaherty). As a result, Canada did not suffer as much as many other countries did through the great international depression of 2008 and 2009. Mr. Harper also deserves many credits in the area of domestic policy. He kept interprovincial relations relatively unbroken which include the relationship between Quebec and the rest of Canada. He was smart not to touch controversial issues like abortion, divorce, and the death penalty and also not to irritate special interest groups This was not an easy job and he deserves credit. Conversely, we have a different situation when it comes to international relations. The dominant feature in the area of international policy is the fact that Mr. Harper seems to harbour a deep personal dislike of Mr. Putin. This obviously happened long before the Ukrainian
crisis (that is why he did not go to Winter Olympics in Sochi, for instance). Personal likes and dislikes of any prime minister should in no case be influencing a country’s international policy. The leader who cannot disassociate his feelings from his governance role is prone to make serious mistakes. As an example, Mr. Harper was the very first western leader who rushed to Kiev to shake hands with members of, at that moment, the illegal Ukrainian government. Also let me point out Mr. Harper’s awkward affront to Mr. Putin at the G20 summit in Brisbane, Australia. Even more damage to Canada’s international reputation under leadership of Mr. Harper is due to his tendency to build barricades instead of bridges between nations. The barricades have one very unpleasant feature. There is no middle ground on barricades and their very existence often leads to bloodshed. For example, Canadian war planes are bombing people in Iraq and Syria. The blue berets of Canadian peacekeepers are being replaced by the khaki helmets of Canadian troopers. A few words about the environ-
two separate sets of pipes to deliver the two types of water. Of course there is also a cost to building a separated system. Over the past decade, a considerable effort has been made to separate many domestic water connections from the agricultural source. This work continues. However, there is still a significant amount of treated water being utilized on farm land. We need to continue with more separation projects, bearing in mind that it may not be cost effective to have complete separation. The objective should be to have an affordable domestic water supply but also an agricultural supply which is competitive with other farming areas in the Okanagan. The untreated, pressurized agricultural water system put in place some 40 years ago still meets the industry's present and future needs. Moreover, ensuring that the agricultural rates are competitive will allow for significant economic benefits to be continually derived by the community. Jamie Kidston
ment. According to the Globe and Mail of May 8 2014, Canada has one of the worst scores on environmental policies: Canada ranked 38th out of 41 countries. Likewise, all reputable environmental organizations rate Canadian environmental performance at the bottom of the scale. And there is no doubt that the government’s record on the environment must reflect Mr. Harper’s personal position on this issue. A recent promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 is such electioneering that no person in his right mind can take it seriously. It’s a last-minute, desperate effort to show that the administration finally promises to do something. However, the clear evidence that the Harper government is not serious about this promise is a proposal to buy carbon credits. Likewise, an attempt to move responsibility for environmental matters to provinces is another deceitful effort to shift the future blame on someone else. All told here is the summary: two out of four. At this point, I have to confess that I have voted for Mr. Harper in
all previous elections in which he was a candidate. I will not this time. Because two out of four is not good enough for my future prime minister. Nathaniel Royko

Tyler’s mini performance in Kelowna Monday, Vernon has tuned into the idea of a public piano. Tucked into an alcove on 30th Avenue, a brown bench awaits anyone interested in taking up a seat to make music on the black and white keys of an old piano. Most people pass right by the large instrument without even noticing, while others stop and consider letting their fingers play. “It’s free for anybody to play,” said Lara Konkin, Downtown Vernon Association executive director. “And it has been played like crazy.” Although the DVA applauds the idea, they aren’t the ones behind the music. It’s a legacy former Good Gracious owner Dave Russell has left behind as he ventures into retirement. After seeing Kelowna’s popular city park piano in action earlier this month, Russell wondered why Vernon didn’t have one. And as it turned out, he had just the spot in an old entrance – since city bylaws won’t allow anything to be put on the sidewalk, which is city property. The next struggle was finding a piano.

At 93-years-old Pat Russel can still make beautiful music, and she does it well on the public piano in Downtown Vernon, while Mary Armstrong, of Good Gracious, watches. The local store set the piano up as an avenue of entertainment for the public and it has proven popular. “If you go on kijiji and Craigslist they’re everywhere, people are giving them away (in places like Vancouver), but I couldn’t find one in Kelowna or here.” Finally he found one in the back corner at Dodd’s Auction, which had failed to sell numerous times, therefore he got a good deal on it.
And Vernon’s downtown public piano came to life. “They can come and release their musical instincts for a minute or two, or five or 10,” said Russell who has heard some incredible talent so far. “There was a lady who played The Entertainer for five minutes and wow she

was good. From his eye-catching store fronts to his flashy, neon runners, Russell is the type of guy who likes to make people turn their heads. And he has succeeded with his latest addition. “We just did it to entertain people,” he said. From children tugging at their mom’s arms for a chance to pound on the keys, to a 93-year-old who had the store staff clapping along and even an Enderby man who is using the piano as therapy for his hands following an injury. “I haven’t played in 15 years,” admits the rural resident, who didn’t want to be named. “I’m just thankful that a kindred soul would be kind enough to put that out there.” Even the mail lady enjoys it, although she has yet to play. “I think it’s a brilliant idea. This is the most happening block.” But that’s just the 9-5 business hour attention. Curious if the piano sat lonely and untouched at night, Russell decided he’d take his wife for dinner across the street after closing up shop one night and see if anyone came by to play. And play they did. “But who knows what happens at midnight or two o’clock in the morning,” he said. And, knock on wood, no one has vandalized the piano yet. “It’s pretty well respected now,” said Russell, who says the piano will be put away for the winter and hopefully hauled back out in the spring. The next step is to make the piano a little more attractive by painting it. “I’d like it to come from the street,” he said, urging anyone interested in applying some tasteful art to contact the store.

Social agencies continue to pull resources together for some renters facing eviction. Vernon city council was provided with an update Monday on the Green Valley Motel and the tenants who must find new homes by the end of August. “We are getting information out to the tenants and we are encouraging the tenants to reach out to the John Howard Society and the housing outreach program,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. The RCMP have helped circulate the information to the tenants. There are 27 units and while about 15 units were occupied a month ago, the exact number of tenants is not known. Most of the tenants are considered low-income

and they have limited resources for housing. Discussions are underway with B.C. Housing to see if temporary beds can be opened at the Gateway Shelter to accommodate those evicted. “We will do our best to help the tenants,” said Sharkey. Sharkey is also reaching out to the property owner to determine what security measures will be in place once the building is vacant.

Despite cooler temperatures, the provincial government continues to urge fire safety. With 175 wildfires burning around B.C., down from just over 200 on Tuesday, the province continues to caution all British Columbians to be diligent with fire safety and to report all wildfires to authorities. There were a total of 10 new wildfires in B.C. Tuesday, down four from Monday. As of Wednesday, there were 175 active wildfires throughout the province (of these, 18 are active fires of note), with three states of local emergency due to wildfire, and seven evacuation alerts and orders currently in effect. Following the early and extremely difficult start to the fire season, the province says it’s doing all it can to stop human-caused fires. MLA Mike Morris, parliamentary secretary for the Ministry of Forests, will conduct a review of the current fine and penalty structures related to human-caused forest fires, and will consider recommendations for a number of penalties that could include banning repeat offenders from provincial parks, increasing fines, and possible vehicle impoundment for those who flick lit cigarette butts out of their vehicles. A total of 375 human-caused fires have occurred so far this year. Report all wildfires to 1 800 663-5555 or *5555 on your mobile phone.

Conserving Canada’s fisheries
T
he recreational fisheries conservation partnerships program was introduced in 2013 and was extended in this year’s budget, with an additional $10 million in funding starting next year. Since 2013, this conservation program has invested nearly $16 million in 280 projects across Canada to support the important work of conserving and strengthening our fisheries. The program has succeeded by bringing together like-minded partners and their resources to restore, rebuild and rehabilitate recreational fishery habitats across Canada. This is why the program has been extended with more funding. Recreational fishing is Colin Mayes no small fry for our economy. In 2010, sport angling generated $8.3 billion for local economies across Canada. Through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the government of Canada invests in various aspects related to commercial fisheries, including science, catch monitoring and management plans. The ministry has just announced funding approvals for 2015 projects and our riding will be receiving nearly half a million dollars for conservation work. Thanks to this funding, important conservation and restoration work at Cooke Creek, the Salmon River/Shuswap Lake delta, Bessette Creek, Cherry Creek and restoration of fisheries habitat on agricultural lands will move forward. All in all, close to $450,000 has been granted to support these projects in our riding. Over the years, I have received e-mails from people close to the issues around fish habitat and fish conservation calling for more action. Our government has done more than any government to protect and enhance fish populations. Allotting the fish stamp revenue to the Pacific Salmon Foundation is one very significant action taken by our minister of fisheries and oceans. Milton Friedman wrote that, “one of the greatest mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” Our government’s actions show we take the protection of our commercial and recreational fishery resource seriously.
MP REPORT

News he Harper brothers, Jerome and Thaddeus, began driving cattle into the colony of B.C. in 1860, from as far away as California. Initially they grazed their cattle on land east of Fort Kamloops that became the Harper Ranch, before driving them on to the gold fields. As the gold frontier advanced into the fabled Cariboo country, the brothers began to purchase land closer to the mining region, eventually operating a slaughter house in Barkerville, the heart of the Cariboo gold fields. For a time in the early 1860s, the Harpers had held their cattle in the area north of Lillooet, along the River Trail on the east side of the Fraser River in the area around Dog Creek. The vast stretches of grasslands across the Fraser probably caught their entrepreneurial eyes but the inaccessibility of the area made them hesitate. Cattle could only cross the Fraser River with great difficulty before reaching the main roads and trails on the way to the Cariboo market. The pragmatic brothers, therefore, concentrated their land acquisition elsewhere. They purchased the Perry Ranch, near Cache Creek, and then the Kelly Ranch, between Clinton and Lillooet, and they also had interests in the Davidson Ranch, at 150 Mile House. When Jerome died in 1874, his Thaddeus took over all of their interests in B.C. He was still looking for more land to graze his huge herds of cattle and once again cast his eyes across the Fraser River to the yet unclaimed bunch grass ranges in the Chilcotin. Despite numerous accounts to the contrary, it is unlikely that Thaddeus Harper took up land west of the Fraser until at least the 1870s.
In 1884, he purchased 18,912 acres of land from the government in the Chilcotin and established his largest ranch of them all. There remains some mystery as to how the Gang Ranch got its name. Some believe that it was Ken Mather from the large gang ploughs Harper brought in to cultivate the fertile land but, given the rancher’s reluctance to put ploughs in the land, that is a bit of a stretch. Others maintain that the ranch was so-named from the large gangs of men that were needed to operate the sprawling spread. Whatever the reason for the name, the Gang Ranch became the largest ranch in the province. Unfortunately, the last 10 years of
RANCH TALES
Thaddeus’ life were tragic. According to A.W. McMorran, who was the manager of the Gang Ranch in 1939, Thaddeus, “was kicked in the face by a horse on his Chilcoten (sic) ranch, which was no doubt the Gang or Harper ranch.” Thaddeus never fully recovered from the severe head injuries and died in Victoria in 1898. By then, his lands, amounting to 38,572 acres, had been pur-
chased by the Western Canada Ranching Company, headed by London publisher, Thomas Galpin. The company appointed Galpin’s son-in-law, J.D. “Jim” Prentice, to run the Gang Ranch, and under his management, the ranch prospered and grew even larger. Ken Mather is a Spallumcheen author.

Local rider geared up for nationals TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Falkand’s Nathan Martin has been burning rubber in anticipation for a chance to win his first BMX national event. The odds are in his favour as it takes place on his home track. “I think it’s a pretty good time to win my first event. It would really be nice to finish first here,” said Martin, who has been racing at Vernon’s Ranger Park since he was 12. The races begin today with a pre race from 6-8:30 p.m. Action goes from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday are separate national events and are free admission. Martin hopes to weave his way through the qualification motos, quarters, semis and finals. The top four riders in each semi advance to the final. This marks the first time Vernon has hosted a national event in four years. There will be more than 100 different motos and nearly 1,000 riders. Shylo Orchard is the Vernon BMX Club president and has coached Martin since day one. “He came here and he was very shy and just a little kid,” said Orchard. “We watched him progress rather quickly into the rider he is now. He is very determined.” The very humble Martin placed second and third in Chilliwack at the beginning of May and captured two secondplace finishes in Nanaimo at the end of May in this year’s Canadian National Series. Martin competes in the 17-18 expert division as an 18 year-old. “I love the adrenaline rush you get from racing and the friendships you build up,” said Martin, a Pleasant Valley grad. Martin got into BMX racing after he bought his first bike from SportChek. The bike came with a coupon for the track and he hasn’t left the course since.
You can tell Martin is a smooth rider just by looking at his medical records. “I’ve wiped out a few times and gotten some decent road rash, but the only serious crash I’ve had is when I overshot a jump heading into the second corner and I separated my shoulder,” said Martin. Martin has been riding and coaching with Kamloops BMX since April. They offered him more money to be a coach and since he graduated PVSS early, he started his heavy-duty mechanic course at Thompson Rivers University in February. He still calls the Vernon track home and comes back to race and teach whenever possible. “We didn’t want to let him (Nathan) go because he is such a nice kid and a hard worker,” said Orchard. “He goes through more tires than anyone else just working on his sprints. I’ve seen him out in the pouring rain, when no one else was riding, trying to get better.” Ripping around on a Staats bike from Ventura, Calif., Martin hopes to hit the pro circuits within the next couple of years. He believes the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup is more than doable. The 5-foot-11 rider aims to compete in five different national events in Canada. If he heads down to the U.S., he will try and make it to 10 tour events. TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR Off the track, Martin can be found tinNathan Martin now races for the Kamloops BMX, but he returns to his home track kering in the garage, either on his bike or on for the Vernon Rattler Nationals this weekend at Ranger Park. his Volkswagen Jetta.
Tigers take on Venom in lacrosse final TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The waiting game is over. It’s time to dance. The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers take on the Kamloops Venom in Game 1 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals tonight (7:30) at Kal Tire Place. With 19 wins in the bank, the Tigers sit three wins away from the provincials. “Our guys have ate and slept well all week and we are eager to get this thing going,” said Tigers’ coach Chris Scabar. The Venom stopped the second-ranked South Okanagan Flames 13-7 in Game
5 at Memorial Arena in Kelowna. The Tigers swept their semifinal series with the Armstrong Shamrocks. The Venom received reinforcements in the semis with the return of four players from the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. Kyle Pauwels and Riley Peterson played for the New Westminster Salmonbellies. Pauwels recorded five assists in three games and Peterson sniped three goals in three games. Blaine and Colton Boomer played for the Langley Thunder. Blaine registered one goal and nine assists in 13 games, and Colton supplied one goal in two games.
“I think it’s a political thing. It doesn’t matter to me. I just try and stay out of all that B.S.,” said Scabar. Pauwels racked up eight goals in the deciding game, following up a five-goal performance in a 14-8 victory at Memorial Arena in Game 4 on Monday. “We are just going to go out there and play hard lacrosse, that’s our motto,” said Scabar. “It’s easier to play dee when you only have two or three guys to key on instead of a deeper offence like ours.” The Tigers were led offensively by Ryan Sarazin, who potted 35 goals and 60 points, and Jordan Orr, who supplied 28 goals and
54 points. The Tigers are focused on the present and aren’t worried about keeping their flawless record intact. “As long as we come out on top, that’s all that matters. I’ve told the guys that we are going to lose at one point and things aren’t going to go our way all the time. It’s about how we take it, move on and learn from it that matters to us,” said Scabar. Memorial Arena is a sauna from May to September. The old barn has no air conditioning. It can be a stifling experience for the fans, let alone the players.

Kozak shoots 68 at Fairview Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Conner Kozak was in a seven-way share of 20th spot heading into today’s final round of the 113th B.C. Amateur at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver. Kozak, an All-American with the UBC Thunderbirds last season, carded a 6-over 78 Thursday after rounds of 68 and 75. Kozak works and plays out of Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. Jared du Toit of Kimberley held a four-stroke lead over Stuart Macdonald of Point Grey in Vancouver at 68-68-69-205. Macdonald produced rounds of 69-66-74. Kozak was happy to have a front row seat for the fireworks after his 75 Wednesday. “They were lights out today. Brayden was making birdies everywhere and Stu, well, you heard the roar when he holed out on nine. I used up all my putts yesterday and I just couldn’t get the ball in the hole today.” Troy Bulmer of Predator Ridge also had a very good round Wednesday, making seven birdies and only two bogeys en route to a 5-under 67. He shot an opening-round 75 and fired 81 Thursday and was in a five-way share of 33rd place at 223. “This is my first B.C. Am and it’s good because I had to play through the supplemental to get into the field,” said Bulmer, who’s originally from Saskatchewan. “I made my birdies today and I’m getting a better feel for the greens.” Matt Kreutz of Vernon was tied for 45th after going 75-76-75 for 225. Macdonald had 115 yards to go on the par-4 9th Wednesday and hit his 54-degree wedge shot to five feet and then watched it roll into the cup for a closing eagle. “That was a great way to end the round,” said the Purdue Boilermaker senior. “It was a pretty solid day for me, but I still think I left a couple out there.” Macdonald, starting on the 10th hole, made three birdies on his front nine and one bogey and then added two more birdies before his closing eagle. Macdonald has an ambitious summer ahead. Not only is he flying out east to play the Monday qualifier for the RBC Canadian Open next week, he’ll also try to Monday qualify for the PGA Tour Canada stop in Calgary and then it’s off to the Canadian Amateur and the U.S. Amateur before he heads right back to Purdue, where, as the only returning senior, he’ll be expected to lead the young squad. Du Toit started on the back nine in Round 2 and made six birdies and two bogeys, rounding the turn at 4-under 32.

Vernon’s Hannah Bennison, near the back, runs in the middle of the pack en route to placing eighth in the Ninth Internation Association of Athletics Federations World Youth Track & Field Championships Thursday in Cali, Colombia. There was a field of 20.
Bennison eighth at Worlds Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Hannah Bennison finished a solid eighth in the girls’ 3,000m Thursday in the 9th International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Youth Track & Field Championships in Cali, Colombia. Bennison, a 15-year-old VSS student coached by Nate Reider of Kelowna, posted a 9:42.75 in the field of 20. Bennison qualified for the IAAF finals by winning the 3,000 in a record 9:33.44 in the Subway B.C. High School Track and Field Championships at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park a month ago. Shuru Bulo of Ethiopia took a convincing victory in the race, an event all but dominated by Kenya at the previous eight IAAF under 18 editions. Bulo, relatively unheralded prior to her arrival in Cali, took the lead with 200
metres remaining en route to her 9:01.12 showing, a world-youth-leading time. Kenya’s Emily Chebet Kipchumba, who ran at the front for most of the race, finished second in 9:02.92, just ahead of teammate Sheila Chelangat, at breezy Pascual Guerrero Stadium. The second through fourth runners all posted personal bests. By finishing top-eight, Bennison pocketed valuable points for Team Canada, which is represented in Colombia by 47 athletes – 27 females. Bennison, at five feet and 90 pounds, ran against some athletes twice her size. Many were older. Japanese runners took the fifth- and sixth-placings, while Bahrain’s Fatuma Jewaro Chebsi was seventh, three seconds in front of Bennison. Bennison was 11/100 of a second ahead of Australia’s Annabel McDermott.
Canada’s Shona McCulloch finished 11th in 9:44.74 In the provincials, Bennison broke the 9:37.20 set in 1984 by KelownaMt. Boucherie Bears’ runner Brenda Shackleton in 1984. Hannah’s mom, Anne, used to compete against Shackleton as a youngster. Glynis Sim of Salmon Arm, coached by John Machuga of the Vernon AAA Club, will compete in the 2,000m steeplechase later in the world event. The World Youth Championships features more than 1,400 athletes from 156 countries, making it the biggest international athletics event to be held in South America. An impressive championship record of 10.28 in the boys’ 100m by Japan’s Abdul Hakim Sani Brown capped an entertaining opening day.
The Raiders have advised the league that they will not appeal. “The decision from the league is certainly not the way we wanted to finish the season. Our team has been very cautious about all of our roster moves throughout the year and making sure that we are giving adequate notification to the league whenever moves are made,” said Shamrocks’ GM Chad Pieper. The decision by the commissioner relegated the Raiders to third spot in the threeteam league and would have set up a series with the second-place Kamloops Rattlers, who have withdrawn due to a shortage of players. “We have a lot of history between our two teams in recent years. Having home floor advantage in our loud building will play to our strengths” said Pieper. “We need to play with controlled emotion against these guys” said Shamrocks’ captain Chad Pounder. “They like to get
under our skin with cheap shots and trash talk. We just need to rise above that and play lacrosse.” Armstrong coach Pat Nelson, who had his number retired earlier this year, knows that support on the home front goes a long way in the three-game battle. “The support we get from the fans is unreal and playing in Armstrong is unlike playing anywhere else,” said Nelson. “We need to fill our barn with loud fans to pump us up and create a difficult environment for the opposition to play in.” The Shamrocks hope to catapult a successful Shaw Cup run into the senior C provincial invitational tournament goes Aug. 7-9 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre and Hassen Memorial Arena. “We have a very special team this year, some are comparing it to the great teams of the ‘70s and the brand of lacrosse that we are showcasing is well worth watching,” said Shamrocks’ coach Ryan Nitchie.
Shamrocks aim to stay calm TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
One four-game suspension, one fourtime champion and one franchise thirsty for a title, has all the makings for a dramatic Shaw Cup. The Armstrong Shamrocks will try and knock off the four-time defending champion Kelowna Raiders in the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League finals. The best-of-three series opens Wednesday night (7:30) at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Game 2 shifts to Memorial Arena in Kamloops Friday night at 7:30 p.m. Game 3, if necessary, returns to Armstrong Saturday night. The Shamrocks head into the playoffs as the top seed following the decision by TOSLL commissioner Elinor Hinds to strip the Raiders of their last four regular season wins after Evan Helgeson was ruled ineligible.

Flinkman’s first snipe lifts Chicks
Sports Tigers... Continued from A19
Morning Star Staff
The Chick Kickers bottled up Vernon Liquor Store VQA 4-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters A Division action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. The Chicks (2-2) started the game cautiously with many players playing out of position due to injuries and holidays. Both teams traded decent chances until Jen Kemper, from a 30-yard free kick, found the net with a sky hook over a cheating VQA keeper Sue Barss. The goal brought the Chicks to life and minutes later, stopper Colline Johnson laid out a sweet pass to Mel Jacobs, who calmly put it far side over the scrambling Barss. Holly Flinkman finally got her name on the sheet with a penalty shot after a VQA player pulled down Kemper in the box. Flinkman put everything TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR she had on the shot but the keeper stoned her but Emily Hoag (front) of the Rosters tries to keep the ball from Longhorn Pub/ bobbled the ball.

Johnson then placed a marvellous corner that Jenny Garnett Jessica Garro, Jodi Bremner, Tammy Buick, and Lesley Williams all sparkled both ways. neatly deflected into the corner. Sistas controlled much of the game with precision passing Johnson and sweeper Jessica Tanner played lights out all night, never really allowing anything dangerous for keeper and playmaking, just missing on several chances to tie it up with breakaways and shots pinging off the post. Crystal Bergman to handle. Merlot keeper Jan Crerar recorded several great saves.

Timber knock down Eagle Homes Morning Star Staff
The North Enderby Timber rallied to ground the NOD Eagle Homes 4-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at the Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Sports Centre. After arguably the Timber’s worst half of the season where they fell behind 1-0, Brent Poulsen levelled the score in the 55th minute. Poulsen capatalized on a miscommunication between the NOD keeper and a defender when the ball bounced off the two right to him and he tapped in the free ball from three yards for the easiest goal of the year. Just five minutes later off an NET short corner, Kyle Fertile played the ball to Chris Ovens, who passed to Dan Aikema for the between-the-legs flick past everyone into the back of the net for the goal of the night. In the 65th minute, Poulsen was given another gift when the NOD keeper flubbed a clearance right to Poulsen’s foot at the top of the box and he calmly passed it into the empty net. Poulsen completed the hat trick after a nifty three-way passing play including Fabrice Fanfani and Fertile. Danny Stein earned the save of the match robbing NOD from a second goal off a free kick. Stein used all his 5-foot-10 frame to make the diving save. The Timber and Courvas FC of Salmon Arm share the pent-
house at 11-1. Eagle Homes is 4-7-1. Courvas stayed even with NET by shelling Turn-Key Controls 7-1 at Marshall Field #4. Turn-Key played the entire first half with 10 players and were unable to corral the skilled Courvas team as they built a 3-0 halftime advantage. Preston Tucker showed up early in the second half to give the Turn-Key squad even numbers and scored on a great volley after some pressure. Peters Tirecraft lost a 3-1 heartbreaker to the host Salmon Arm Outlaws. After a scoreless half which was dominated by 1-8-3 Tirecraft, the Outlaws scored on their first two shots of the final 45. Tirecraft continued to dominate play but failed to connect until midway through the half when some great ballwork between Christian DeMilleville, Martin Paris and Man of the Match Brock Reim ended with Reim pushing the ball past the keeper. Mike Conlin had a great header in the box that was taken away on a phantom offside call and the Outlaws (3-8-1) finished off the scoring minutes after that on their fourth shot on net. The Revelstoke Stallions brushed back Monashsee Surveying 2-0 in the Shuswap, improving to 6-6. Monashee us 2-8-2.
The Tigers have plenty of experience playing mid-summer games in the Snake Pit. They won the 2013 TOJLL title in Kamloops and played there before winning last year’s title at Kal Tire Place. “Everyone is in the same boat when it comes to the heat. It’s going to be hot, so what. It’s not really a mind game,” said Scabar. “We like playing in the heat.” The Venom entered the playoffs as the topranked team last year, and entered this year’s playoffs 7-1-8 and the third seed. Jerome Thorne led the Snakes with 45 goals and 58 points in 12 games. “We’ve had some close games,” said Pauwels, who fired 40 goals with the NCAA Division II Pfeiffer University Falcons last field season in North Carolina. “With us getting some momentum going into the series, we’ve got a good chance, but we’ve got to play to our potential.” The Tigers took the league title in 2009, 2013 and 2014. Kamloops ruled from 2010 to 2012. Game 2 goes 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Memorial Arena. Game 3 is slated for Tuesday night (7:30) in Vernon.

The 2015 Five Hole for Food (FHFF) tour is coming to Victoria and Vancouver this Friday and Saturday and in addition to that, the B.C. Hockey League is announcing a third BCHL–FHFF Challenge campaign for the upcoming season. Once again, each BCHL team will host a BCHL– FHFF Challenge night and try to top all other franchises in food gathered in one game night. This past season, the BCHL collectively raised just shy of 37,000 pounds for food banks around B.C. This total bested the number from the 2013-14 season, when just under 34,000 pounds was gathered from across the league. The Powell River Kings were the champions of the 2014-15 campaign, raising 10,500 pounds on their BCHL–FHFF Challenge night on Dec. 12. Five Hole for Food is just about to complete its 2015 cross-Canada street hockey tour. After starting in St. John’s, N.L. on July 1, FHFF will have made 13 stops across the country by the time Saturday’s event in Vancouver is complete. The tour is at Mayfair Shopping Centre from noon to 4 p.m. today and comes to Vancouver Saturday for a street hockey event on Granville Street from noon to 6 p.m. Over the last five years, FHFF has raised more than a million pounds for Canadian food banks. The dates for each team’s challenge night will be announced in late August.

Flotilla making a splash Morning Star Staff
The No-Wake Flotilla will take place July 26. All non-motorized craft are invited to join the sixth annual paddle down the Shuswap River. “This event has grown in popularity, with last year attracting 95 participants and 70 watercraft of various kinds,” said organizer Jean Clark. The launch will take place at 10 a.m. at Grindrod Park. A shuttle bus will be available for those paddlers who want to leave their vehicle at Mara Provincial Park. You can drop your boat
at Grindrod Park and then drive your vehicle to Mara Park. The first bus will depart Mara Park at 9:30 am to take participants back to Grindrod Park in time for the launch. There will be a lunch and bathroom stop at the Mara Hall at noon. Paddlers must bring their own lunches and life jackets and all other required safety equipment. Officers from the B.C. Conservation Service will join the event for enhanced safety and support.
In an effort to manage the bus and timing, the Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society is asking that participants RSVP. If necessary, the bus will make two runs this year. There will be room for ]about 50 people in two bus runs. If you would like to utilize the shuttle bus, reserve your spot by e-mailing lowershuswap@gmail.com or calling Clark at 250-8387299. The cost of the bus ride is by donation. Individuals look-
ing for a shorter paddling adventure can join the group at Mara Hall at noon to paddle the lower stretch of the Shuswap River to Mara Provincial Park. The event will wrap up at Mara Park at about 2 p.m. with refreshments on the beach by the boat launch. “Celebrate the many non-motorized ways to enjoy the beautiful river environment and to raise awareness about the effects of boat wakes on the shoreline, aquatic ecosystem and other river users,” said Clark.

Young talent takes a ride in the right direction Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Olivia Penalva’s life has felt like a ride on a ferris wheel as of late. At only 15, the Vernon singer-songwriter has been spinning heads and gaining new fans with her mature, silky voice and bubbly demeanor. She is also getting used to hopping on a plane bound for Los Angeles, where she has been working with Vernon-raised hitmaker Andrew Allen and L.A.-based songwriter Robin Ghosh on songs for an upcoming album. One of those tunes, Ferris Wheel, has been building momentum and has been on steady rotation on the airwaves as far as Australia. “I wanted a fun summer single as we were recording more material for the EP. When we wrote this song, I thought ‘this is the one,’” said Penalva, calling from Alberta, where her sister was participating in a horse riding event. Penalva travelled to L.A. this past February to record the song with producer Brian West of The Philosopher Kings, who has also worked with Bono, Nelly Furtado and Maroon 5. “I sat in (the recording sessions) all week so I could watch and experience it all. Then it came time to do my vocals. I thought they were going to do a rough demo, but they actually used what we recorded there and then. We recorded the lead vocals on the first day and the harmonies the next day and then it was released to radio.” Released digitally, Penalva had a feeling Ferris Wheel was doing well once her Instagram followers almost tripled overnight. Many of those followers came from the land Down Under. “Someone over in Australia heard the song and wrote a blog about it, and then it started getting played non-stop. I was even interviewed (by a radio station) over there, but because of the time difference, I missed hear-

Vernon’s Olivia Penalva, 15, continues to make a name for herself as a singer-songwriter. ing it,” said Penalva, who has also been receiving feedback from France, where her dad is originally from. “Someone put my music on a website in my dad’s hometown. It’s cool as members of my family living over there can hear my songs.” A world tour may soon be in order for Penalva, who only a few years ago was a tween singing at the local Our Kids Have Talent competition. She has since seen her star rise with the release of her successful 2013 holiday
single, Christmas for Two, co-written with Allen and Ghosh, which hit the top 30 charts in Canada. Another single, Fight for You, made it to the top three in an international songwriting competition and was entered into the CBC Searchlight Competition, where it was picked by Toronto-based journalist Chris Dart as one of 112 songs on his Mega Playlist of Amazing Discoveries. Last year, Penalva earned the right to per-
form the song, along with an earlier version of Ferris Wheel, at the 2014 Ottawa Bluesfest She’s the One competition. And in October, on one of her trips to L.A., Penalva provided vocals and co-wrote a song with Allen and songwriter Josh Cumbee. Entitled Forgettable, the pop ballad was just released on Toronto DJ-producer team Project 46’s new album, Beautiful. “It’s about how no one is forgettable – no one is going to forget you. I wrote it for some of the people in my life. It’s meaningful and quite moving,” said Penalva. “It has been put to this bass and drum beat and I sing the chorus. It’s all started happening so it’s pretty exciting.” Now with summer break in full swing, Penalva, who is about to enter Grade 10 at Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School in Kelowna, is busy writing new songs and hopes to soon have the follow-up release to her debut fulllength album, Rainfall, in the near future. “I need to have more material that flows together – the songs have to have that vibe,” she said. “Andrew (Allen) has introduced me to a lot of songwriters. I love collaborating with people. When I go to write on my own it becomes harder - it’s all on you.” With a few concerts lined up, including her regular gig at Intermezzo Restaurant in Vernon as well as in Kelowna and Lake Country, Penalva is also looking for local fans to vote for her in Star Central Magazine’s online competition for the Female YouTube Artist of the Month for July. At press time, Penalva was in second place and is the only Canadian artist up for contention. “You can only vote once a day from the same URL address, so my parents have been driving around trying to vote at different locations,” laughed Penalva. Voting continues to July 31. For more information, visit www.olivia musiclive.com.

Sam Lee & Friends: The Fade in Time
E
nglish folk singer Sam Lee takes a reconstructionist approach on ancient British folk songs on his band’s second album, The Fade in Time. Recorded at Imogen Heap’s studio outside of London, The Fade in Time is no walk in the meadow. Inspired by his mentor, Stanley Robertson, from British collective The Travellers (more on them later), Lee and his
W NE NT! E EV
Street SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
band have taken a nontraditional interpretation to British folk music. They mix archival recordings and unusual instruments to give an updated, eerie vision of how the songs sounded in centuries past. The Fade in Time
pulls the trick of playing bygone songs to sound contemporary and finds itself in a world music setting. The Travellers are a community of British musicians who wander the island collecting songs and stories. They act as folklorists and their traditions stretch back centuries, and their lifestyle is akin to British gypsies with whom they share some material. So basically Lee has joined this tradition and added modern textures with his band and producers (Jamie OrchardLisle and Arthur Jeffes).

It’s refreshing and disconcerting that Lee and friends have no reliance on stock folk instruments. There are no songs featuring banjos, mandolins or other go-to axes. They take a futuristic reading of the songs that recalls Van Morrison, beatnik bebop and bardic poetry. Led Zeppelin fans take note – it’s an update of the Gallows Pole vibe. The sounds are jarring rather than pastoral with the band’s exotic instruments rumbling and braying beneath Lee’s crooned vocal (Johnny o’ the Brine, Blackbird, Lord Gregory). The archival approach is smart and the sense of creepiness lifts when Lee starts singing (Bonnie Bunch of Roses). The opposite works on a different level – as the band adds unusual arrangements, Lee taps into his perception of the song’s origin (Over Yonder’s Hill). Jonah Brody’s use of koto on Moorlough Maggie adds to the swirl as Lee drones and modulates through the ancient ballad. This album isn’t a typical blast from the past, not even close. It travels on information and experimentation and presents a picture of continuity.

GET RECYCLING. GET SOME NEW WHEELS.
The Gallows:
hen a young actor accidentally dies on stage during a high school play called The Gallows, the school retires the production. It takes 20 years before the drama class resurrects the play, which brings with it a cursed hangman. We say, “It’s another teenage Handycam ghost story.” Taylor and Howe TAYLOR: This film has moments that are artistically done, which is rare in a “found footage” film. After all, we can’t get awesome lighting or cinematography when it’s meant to be shot by some idiot, running around with a Go Pro. This dumb luck seems to have been sourced by staging your horror film mostly in the theatre of a seemingly never ending high school. Also, these inspired moments are few and far between. For the bulk of the film, the kids are walking around spooky hallways, waiting to get picked off by whatever the hangman is, arguing, screaming, alternatively angering and boring me. HOWE: Wow, that’s a little harsh. Although The Gallows isn’t the best horror movie we will see this year, it won’t be the worst. I thought it was a well put together movie, but saying that I wouldn’t waste my money going to see it. It’s the sort of film that you would find going straight to Netflix or the $1.99 bargain bin.

The Gallows stars Cassidy Gifford (daughter of Frank Gifford and Kathie Lee Gifford) as a high school student haunted by a mysterious entity from the past. found footage films, the Paranormal Activity series specifically, then I found this to be a little more entertaining. This had a mystery to solve: who or what is chasing them and knocking them off one by one. Plus, there were only four of them, so it didn’t take very long. TAYLOR: That’s funny and true. Still, every single horror movie in the universe uses “walk around in the dark hoping you don’t see what is going to kill you.” Usually it happens a few times per film, occasionally there is an entire movie of it. The Gallows fits into this latter category, which means it was likely to fail anyway. However, it then asks the audience to believe that these kids not only lived this nightmare, but also managed to capture it on film. As a
A classically trained artist, Van Gold’s guitar sound has been compared to that of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton and Ry Cooder, with vocals reminiscent of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick and Annie Lennox. Her visionar y groove-laden songs move easily from strong funk dance beats to odd time signatures to slow improvisational guitar, bass and drums, often within the same song. “It’s funkified

half-baked premise with a stupid format, then merely adequately produced, The Gallows wallows in commonality. HOWE: I think the main question then is, did it do its job? There’s two answers to that: Yes, it did entertain me for the 90 minutes, but no it didn’t scare me, not once. There’s not even someone hiding behind the door to jump out to get a cheap scare, which some directors would do. The Gallows is a good movie for younger teens wanting to get into the horror/supernatural realm, not so much for the more hardened horror fan. – Howe gives The Gallows 2 spotlights out of 5. – Taylor gives it 1.5 rope burns out of 5.

fusion dripping in guitar, where serpentine phrasing and passionate energy resounds into a wacky dance,” Van Gold said of the band’s versatile sound, which ranges from progressive rock to funk ‘n’ blues. Van Gold spent 2014 touring to Regina and back as a solo act, backing herself up with
live loops. Now with her band, JJ Buttle (bass and vocals) and Jerry Hamilton (drums, vocals), Van Gold adds a social consciousness to her emotionally driven lyrics, as well as into the rhythm and soul of each song. “(We play) all original music for every occasion, guaranteed high energy, mood
altering and fun,” she said. “Come on out and dance to the beatz. There will be prizes for the most enthusiasm.” The Jan Van Gold Band takes the stage at Lorenzo’s Saturday. Cover is $10 and doors open at 6 p.m. with music at 8 p.m. Call the café at 250-838-6700 to reserve a seat.

Jumble Dance enters 60th year Morning Star Staff
Boys will be girls and girls will be boys as western Canada’s longest running cross-dress dance celebrates its 60th year. Going strong at the Mabel Lake community of Kingfisher since 1955, the Jumble Dance is back for another year. It takes place July 25 at Kingfisher Hall. “The cross-dress tradition began, so the story goes when the men, mostly loggers, weren’t asking the women to dance. In fact, a lot of the men preferred to hang out in the parking lot, leaving the women with no one to dance with. Solution: some of the women dressed up as men,” writes Jan Lacko, on behalf of the Kingfisher Community Association. “Things started to be a lot more fun inside the hall. The men, knowing a good time when they saw one, soon joined in, dressing up as women.” A tradition began. For 60 years running, Kingfisher Hall has filled on a summer night with live music, outrageous costumes, and almost always great snacks at midnight, said Lacko. “A new generation has picked up the reins and have made it their own.” This year’s Jumble Dance features Blue Moon Marquee, a screamin’ and hollerin’ gypsy blues band from Nelson, as well as Kingfisher’s own DJ Kato. There’s also special treat this year to mark 60 years of madness. Those who would
love to relive their glory days, but fall asleep early, can enjoy a Come As You Were pre-rock out from 6:30 to 9 p.m. “Folks are invited to come in their favourite costume, or not. Come As You Were partiers are asked to bring an appetizer to share,” said Lacko. There is no admis-
sion to this part of the fun, however, tickets to the dance, which goes from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Kingfisher Hall, located 33 kilometres east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Road, are $15 each. Tickets are available at Kingfisher Rivermouth Marina, Tony O’s in Enderby, and at Ashton Creek General Store.

Team planners Shirley (Nestor) Ogasawara (left), Lydia (Price) Cumming of Kamloops, Jean (Ferguson) Wetherill, Richard Combe, Miyoko (Chiba) Croken, Helen (Sasges) Donovan and Joye (Sengotta) Raber discuss details for the Vernon High School class of ‘55 reunion taking place in September.
Class of ‘55 gets ready to party Morning Star Staff
It was the year Disneyland opened, and Captain Kangaroo ruled the airwaves on TV and Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus when the Vernon High School class of ‘55 received their diplomas. And 60 years later, the gang is getting back together to celebrate Sept. 4, 5 and 6. The reunion marks just the second time the group has gathered just to celebrate the class of ‘55. For Jean (Ferguson) Wetherill, the reunion is a chance to share the stories of hanging out at Nick’s Candy Kitchen in downtown Vernon, to recall the music of the era, with hits such as Rock Around the Clock, and to spend time with friends she has known
all of her life. “The school was all about teamwork, so I want to recognize everyone who worked so hard to make this reunion a reality,” said Wetherill. “Lydia (Price) Cumming travelled all year from Kamloops, Nellie (Fandrich) Thompson assisted from Victoria, George Parchomchuk from Saskatoon is the team leader, holding all the strings that connect the Vernon planners. “And good advice came from 1954 grad Lorna (French) Thorburn after their 60th reunion.” Those in attendance at the reunion, which takes place at The Pantry, Schubert Centre and O’Keefe Ranch, will have the chance to enjoy a display filled with memorabilia, includ-
ing yearbooks, Vernon history, newspaper collections, a tribute to classmates who have died — more than 45 — teachers’ obituaries and complete school history albums donated by George Parchomchuk to the Vernon Greater Museum. Also on hand will be Reconnection 2005, the 144page biography of the grads of 1955, written by classmate Helmut Fandrich, as well as a later 160-page follow-up hard cover book. The book includes valedictorian Jerry Jellison’s DVD transcript address from the 2005 reunion and Wetherill’s story, Emotions Soar, printed in The Morning Star in July 2005. “The interest shown by Katherine Mortimer in publishing articles and search ads
has been overwhelming and motivated the team to plan memorable life-long memories and keepsakes,” she said. “For many classmates, this will be hello again, and goodbye again. “Responses of classmates attending the reunion have come in from as far as California, New York, Halifax and Vancouver Island.” The reunion takes place Sept. 4 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Pantry, Sept. 5 at the Schubert Centre all day, with a banquet at 6 p.m.; and Sept. 6 from 10 a.m. to noon for brunch at O’Keefe Ranch. For more information on the reunion or to put your name on the list, please call Helen at 250-545-2640 or Miyoko at 250-542-8741.
Interior Health campaign boosts immunity Joanne Smrek Special to The Morning Star
You immunize and you aren’t shy about letting others know the importance of immunization for protecting themselves, their loved ones and their community. Join the ranks of immunization supporters across the province by becoming an Immunization Booster through the I Boost Immunity campaign. I Boost Immunity is a social marketing campaign developed by ImmunizeBC. It’s also a place where vaccine supporters can find evidence-based information, stories and resources to help raise awareness about the value of immunization. The campaign gives us the power to reach a large audience so that together we can
keep our communities healthy. Here are five top reasons why you should become an Immunization Booster. You like free swag! Sharing articles on social media will earn you points that you can redeem for cool stuff like an iPhone case or T-shirt. Science is awesome! You respect evidence-based information, stories and resources. You don’t have to be a scientist, doctor or nurse to know that the science behind immunization makes sense. You want to use social media to counter the misinformation you see. You know that there is a lot of anti-vaccine talk in social media and you want to add your voice to the importance of making evidence-based decisions when it comes to
immunization. You have a story to tell why immunization personally matters to you. Maybe someone close to you has been affected by a vaccine-preventable disease or you have travelled to a country where vaccination wasn’t widespread and witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of vaccine preventable diseases. Join the silent majority of vaccine supporters, and speak up to support the value of immunization. You want to live in a healthy community. Immunization protects us all. Become a booster and lets work together to help spread the good stuff. Joanne Smrek is a regional knowledge coordinator with Interior Health.

Six reasons to try paddleboarding
S
ummer is in full swing. Vernon is a prime location for watersports — gorgeous lakes on the edge of town and awesome weather! Over the last couple of years, you have most likely seen an increasing number of people paddling on a board, either standing or kneeling. Paddle boarding (or SUP for Stand Up Paddle boarding) has been popular in Hawaii for many decades. The sport is experiencing a rapidly growing interest across Canada. An easily accessible sport for a wide range of ages and abilities, paddle board-
spine & sport
Virginie pichard-Jolicoeur ing is also great for your health! Let’s have a look at why paddle boarding is so good for you. 1) It is relatively easy to learn. You do not need to be a pro kayaker or a dedicated triathlete to enjoy paddle boarding — no matter your age or level of fitness, it is an accessible
sport and everybody can be challenged. Did you know that it is even possible to practise yoga on a SUP? 2) It is a great way to improve your balance. Since you need to maintain your balance while you are paddling, it stimulates your physical awareness and the muscles responsible for your stability. These muscles include stabilizers from your ankles to your back and abdominals! The waves created by the motorboats you share the lake with are an extra-challenge, and an even better stimulation for your balance!
3) It is a serious core workout. Your core muscles, which include your abdominals but also very important torso muscles (from your shoulders to your pelvis), are actively used when paddling. Strong core muscles are a key for spinal health. They are also very important in preventing and treating low back pain. 4) It is easy on the joints. As there is very little to no impact during the practice of paddle boarding, it makes it an easy activity on your joints. Therefore, it decreases the chance of having joint pain during
or after your outing! 5) It is a symmetrical sport. As you have to paddle on the left and on the right, it ensures a more even muscle development while decreasing the risk of overuse injuries that would be associated with an asymmetrical activity. As you are using your arms to propel yourself, it makes for a great upper body workout. 6) Not only can it improve your balance, but it is a well-balanced sport. As steady paddling increases your heart rate and your oxygen consumption, it is a great aerobic activity to improve your cardio-
People in wheelchairs express frustration with clothing Thompson interviewed adults who used a wheelchair; she did not consider their disability, only their wheelchair use. All of them had frustrations about clothing. Some spoke about how they chose their clothing partly because of the ease with which they were able to get it on or off. One man, for example, dressed himself lying down on the floor. He said he had learned never to buy pants with buttons on the back pockets because the buttons would inevitably snag in the carpet, making it difficult for him to pull the pants on. Another man indicated that for years he dressed in clothes many sizes too large for him just because it was easi-

er to get the clothing on and off. Another issue was that clothes were often not comfortable to wear for people who remained seated all day. “The people I interviewed had difficulty in finding clothes that were comfortable,” said Thompson, adding that the one thing every single person mentioned was how nice it would be if they could find clothing with an elasticized waist. Another common frustration was the fact that being in a wheelchair limited choice — and led people to dress differently (and perhaps less stylishly) than they would have liked. “As a society, we value physical appearance. You can know what you want to look
like, but if those clothes aren’t available to you, you can’t get any of the social value that is associated with wearing them.” Though some custom clothing options are available, Thompson said most people do not take advantage of them, usually because of cost. And anyone in a wheelchair has to consider whether a tailor or seamstress altering the clothing is wheelchairaccessible, with facilities that allow for clothing to be tried on. The accessibility issue also carried over into shopping, with many people interviewed expressing frustration with narrow store aisles and tiny or inaccessible change rooms that made it

difficult, if not impossible, for them to try things on. As a result, Thompson said many people in wheelchairs simply “make do” with clothing that is in one way or another unsuitable.

OTTAWA — A study by a Toronto researcher highlights the problems and challenges posed by clothing for people in wheelchairs. They have issues with comfort, face practical challenges of getting the clothes on and off at home and in places like public washrooms, and find shopping difficult. In addition, they deal with the frustration of not being able to dress the way they would like to. Emma Thompson undertook the research as part of her work for her master’s in communication and culture at York University. The study was presented at the 2015 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Ottawa last month.

Natalie Maines, who was the lead singer for the Dixie Chicks, said, “Music is a personal preference. Everyone’s free to connect and like whatever they want.” At the bridge table, personal preference is relevant, especially when deciding upon bidding agreements with your partner. So far this week, we have been looking at suitpreference signals when partner is receiving a ruff. However, it is possible to use suit-preference signals in nonruffing situations. Agreed, these signals are not easy to employ, because you and your partner must watch the cards like eagles. But if you do, your defense will improve in great
swoops. The opponents will be your prey, not the other way round! South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond king. How should declarer plan the play, and how, without guesswork, should the defense overcome South’s best line? Declarer has four losers: three spades and one diamond. But he has 10 potential winners: five hearts, two diamonds and three clubs. He should win the first trick with his diamond ace and immediately return his second diamond. West wins with his queen, but what does he do next? If he finds a spade shift, the contract dies; but if he leads a club, South gets home. How does West know? At trick one, East follows
suit with his diamond four, denying a doubleton (with which he would play highlow). On the next round, he should play the seven, his higher-remaining diamond, to signal interest in spades, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits. If West is watching, he will know, not have to guess, what to do.

Coming Events
Walter Edward Mobbs March 25th, 1920 – July 15th 2015 Walter Mobbs was born in Mission BC where his father homesteaded before the 1st World War. The family moved to the Bonapart River area when Walter was a young lad. They later moved to Watch Lake BC where they bought land from Stan Eden and built the Watch Lake Lodge. Walter’s mother, Marion, was the school teacher. Walter loved the ranching life of the Cariboo and was guiding hunters for the lodge by his teen years. He took a winter job when he was 16, with his brother, Fred, hacking ties with a broad axe for the railroad. At one point he was bucked off a horse and broke his shoulder. He found out about that many years later when he had x-rays. Walter signed up for the 2nd great war and was trained as a driver mechanic. He served as a training Sergeant in Vernon, at the UBC gun towers in Vancouver, and on the North Coast where he often gathered the wood and meat. He was disappointed not to go overseas. After the war he worked for Booth Trucking in Salmon Arm, and then went back to the Cariboo to be a lead cowboy for the Dave Hutchison Ranch. There he met Jeanette while she was working at the Ace High Lodge. They were married in December 1949. Another move brought them to Monte Creek where he worked for the Bostock ranch. Eventually they settled in Westwold where Walter drove logging trucks for many years for the H. Buff Lumber Company. They were able to buy the family farm in 1956, and spent many happy years raising their family. This worked into a profitable hay and cattle operation. As Walter retired from logging, he took up the job of local school bus driver. This is where a generation of young people got to know him. He didn’t tolerate any nonsense on the bus but he was a favorite for 25 years. This work along with the farm, looking after the forestry campsite at Monte Lake, cutting Christmas trees in the fall was a full life. Their final home was in Falkland. Walter was an early member of the Westwold Legion branch 236 in the 1950’s. They met in the old school building for a time and later were able to build the present Legion hall. Walter is a lifetime member and spent many happy hours there with his many friends. Friday night cribbage was a routine, and horseshoes was a favorite sport. Recent years took a toll with health issues and he became rather frail. He was cared for well by many people in the medical system. We extend a great big special thanks to the girls – Ashley, Tanya, OJ, and Stacia whose kind care allowed him to stay in his home until the end. Exactly what he wanted. Walter is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Jeanette, four children; John (Jennifer) of Salmo, BC, Wineva (Frank) Hawkins of Hope, BC, David (Barb) of Delta, BC and Marion (Shawn) Lavery of Falkland, BC, Walter is further survived by twelve grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. A celebration of life service will be held at the Falkland Community Church on Saturday, July 18th, 2015 at 1:00 PM with Reverend John McKay officiating. Those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Walter may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 236, Westwold, BC.
