Cosens Bay process questioned RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Claims of consultation with communities over Cosens Bay Road are being refuted. B.C. Parks told the Regional District of North Okanagan board Wednesday that the Ministry of Transportation is completing final aspects of its boundary adjustment application for Kalamalka Lake Jim Garlick Provincial Park, including local government consultation. That brought a sharp response from director Jim Garlick, who is Coldstream’s mayor.
“It never happened or it hasn’t happened,” he said. “We’ve not had any consultation at all. We’ve been waiting for the opportunity but it’s never come.” Keith Baric, B.C. Parks planning section head, says Garlick’s concerns will be pointed out to the transportation ministry. “They have to clearly indicate what levels of government they have consulted with and any feedback,” he said. The ministry wants to have a 20-metre right-of-way removed from the park so safety and maintenance issues can be addressed. However, the regional district has opposed the plan, saying the right-of-way will negatively impact the park’s ecosystem. “B.C. Parks is not here to share its opinion on the boundary adjustment appli-
cation. We’re a neutral party,” Baric told RDNO directors. The Ministry of Transportation insists it has followed the consultation process set out by B.C. Parks, including a public open house and sessions with Friends of Kalamalka Lake Park and First Nations. “The ministry has also presented information on the application for the boundary adjustment to the RDNO board July 24, 2014, Aug. 7, 2014 and April 1, 2015, and to the District of Coldstream mayor and council July 14, 2014,” states the ministry. “We note that Coldstream Mayor Garlick sits on the RDNO board and was present for the April 1, 2015 briefing and discussion.” It also states that Garlick wrote a letter to the ministry in September 2014 about the proposed park boundary change.

Local anglers are being cut off salmon fishing due to record low water levels and deadly temperatures. “It’s just trying to give the fish the best chance,” said Dean Allan, B.C. Interior resource manager for Fisheries and Oceans. Water levels in many systems in the Thompson and Shuswap are extremely low and temperatures in many cases are reaching lethal limits for migrating salmon. Effective immediately, all waters in the Okanagan (region eight) and Thompson (region three) are closed to fishing for all salmon species until further notice. “As far as fishery closures, it is out of the norm,” said Allan. “We’re seeing warmer temperatures than we typically have in the past.” The salmon, which migrate in mid Shuswap, lower Shuswap and Mabel Lake occur annually, but the fish are already under stress due to the temperatures and low levels, therefore removing angling takes another stressor off them. “They (water levels) are very low, the lowest levels recorded.” While the salmon likely won’t be able to use some of the smaller streams, Allan is hopeful the traditional routes will be OK (Shuswap River, middle Shuswap, Wilsey Dam to Mabel Lake and Mabel to Mara Lake). Predictions are that above average summer air temperatures and reduced precipitation will continue, and likely will further contribute to elevated stream temperatures throughout the Thompson and Okanagan areas. The department will continue to monitor environmental conditions to help inform future fisheries management decisions and fishing opportunities; updated information will be announced by fishery notice. If you witness suspicious fishing activity or a violation call the Fisheries and Ocean Canada 24-hour toll free Observe, Record, Report line at (800) 465-4336 or the British Columbia’s toll-free RAPP line (Report All Poachers and Polluters) at 1-877-952RAPP (7277).

Passion for ice cream heats up in the OK JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A father/daughter team is dipping into some of the sweetest shops around on a cool tour sprinkled with fun. Richard Stroobant and his 11-year-old daughter Danica are on the Ice Cream Tour 2015 across southeastern B.C. and Alberta. On a hunt for the best ice cream on this end of the country, the team is hitting up shops and stands that make their own cool treats from scratch. “The whole theme behind this is just me and my daughter spending time together,” said Stroobant, while in Vernon last week. “The ice cream is just the cherry on top.” Among their 20 stops, the Calgary team (who even had T-shirts made) found some tasty treats in the North Okanagan. “It’s all word of mouth,” said Stroobant, of how they decide where to stop. After checking out D Dutchmen Dairy in Sicamous, the tour made its first soft-serve stop in Enderby at the D&E Drive Inn. “One thing for sure, it beats any other soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had,” said Stroobant on his blog (www.icecreamtour.ca). “Maybe I’m a hard ice cream kinda guy but we gave it 8.5 licks out of 10.” But it was stop No. 8 that gained nearly top marks, for more than just its ice cream. Vernon’s Blue Stream Motel and Garden Ice Cream Parlor took the cake for the best name and earned 9.5 licks. The shop boasts 56 homemade flavours, but for Danica, the bubble gum (which is one of her favourite flavours) won her heart. “It tasted like real bubble gum,” said

Progress made on Bolean Lake fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Crews appear to be getting the upper hand on the Bolean Lake wildfire. On Friday morning, the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District lifted the evacuation order for the Bolean Lake Lodge. “Residents within the existing evacuation order are now permitted to return to their properties but remain on evacuation alert and must be prepared to evacuate at short notice if required,” said a

the 350-hectare wildfire was contained. “There’s been really great progress and the weather has made a difference,” said Kelsey Winter, a fire information officer with the B.C. Wildfire Service.
“There was some rain Thursday and there have been additional resources.” However, Winter says there is the potential for the fire to flare up and that’s why the evacuation alert for residents continues. “Crews are still working hard on containment,” she said, adding that the fire danger rating in the Kamloops Fire Centre ranges from high to extreme. “Even though there has been some precipitation, it hasn’t reduced the fire risk.”
said Stroobant, who actually had the butter chicken for dinner (which was the best he has ever tried). “The East Indian spice just brings out the flavours. “A must try… our taste buds are still dancing.” They also visited the Log Barn in Enderby and Vernon’s Marble Slab Creamery, but there was so much more to the trip than ice cream. Mara Lake, the Last Spike, go karting and ziplining were among their adventures. “The Oyama Zipline was just phenomenal,” said Stroobant. Danica agreed. “I think her dad was more scared than she was,” said Stroobant. They also met up with some friends and have been making memories along the way, including making headlines in newspapers, starring on TV and chatting with radio stations. HelloBC and Travel Alberta have also been tapping into the blog, as well as Tourism Vernon. The whole trip, he said, was actually spurred over a bowl of ice cream (a favourite treat at the Stroobant house – they’re not really cake or candy people). Mom had to work so dad suggested he and his daughter go try out some tasty ice cream shops. “Ask any 11-year-old that question and you’ll get a ‘ya let’s go.’” The trip-turned-tour grew from there and now Stroobant is the one eagerly saying, ‘are we there yet?’ just before each stop.

With gratitude from our team
The smoky haze blanketing B.C., as flames engulf pockets of provincial forests, could very well be “the new normal,” says Premier Christy Clark. As she toured through the Shelter Cove fire, Clark told
reporters she fears that wildfires are increasing in strength and in number due to climate change and this year is far from being an anomaly. “We’re going to see more homes threatened, more people’s
Is there a threat of Heartworm Disease in the Okanagan?
Dr. Arek Siwoski and Staff would like to inform all of Dr. David Regehr’s current and former patients and the Vernon community that our dental practice will remain open. We will continue to provide the same excellent dental care that our patients have grown accustomed to. We have appreciated all of the kind thoughts, words and prayers that have been sent our way. We look forward to continuing to take care of all your dental needs in the present and future. Sincerely,
Yes, areas with a warmer climate, like the Okanagan, have cases of heartworm. In 2010, there was a positive case in Penticton. A study in 2010 done by a pharmaceutical company showed a 60% increase in positive cases of heartworm in Canada in a period from 2002 – 2010. Heartworm is a mosquito transmitted disease. It is spread by mosquitos that become infected with the heartworm larvae while taking a blood meal from an infected dog. When the infected mosquito moves onto another dog for a blood meal, transmission of heartworm occurs. The parasitic worm lives in the arteries of the heart and lung. Fortunately we do not have to deal with heartworm too often in the Okanagan, but it does occur. Since the Okanagan is such a high tourist area we never know what positive heartworm dogs may be visiting. Many dogs infected may not show any evidence in the early stages of the disease. Since Adult heartworms live in the heart and lung, dogs tend to develop a cough and shortness of breath. The severity and onset of these symptoms depend upon the number of Adult heartworm present. A simple blood test will confirm whether your dog has heartworm disease. Are there preventative medications? Yes, there are prescription products available to prevent Heartworm disease. These medications are administered once a month throughout mosquito season which runs from May thru October.

livelihoods threatened, more forest resources lost,” she said. “Climate change has altered the terrain and it’s made us much more vulnerable to fire. The earth is very dry and I think that we have to be planning with the knowledge that this isn’t going to be an unusual year.” The Shelter Cove wildfire was started by a lightning strike. There is good news for some Westside Road residents. The evacuation order for 70 properties impacted by the Shelter Bay fire was downgraded by RDCO to an evacuation alert Friday morning. “Residents should be prepared to leave their homes on short notice in the event that conditions change and the evacuation order is reinstated,” states the Regional District of Central Okanagan. On Friday, the fire was 25 per cent contained. “Those returning should be aware that active fire suppression continues in the area west of Westside Road,” states RDCO.
“The area is not safe for the public and for safety reasons people should stay out. Visible smoke may continue rising from the fire site.” As of Friday, Westside Road remained closed between Cinnabar Creek and La Casa Resort, except to residents and those staying in the alert area. There was no through traffic permitted at that time. Check points at Cinnabar Creek and La Casa require proof of residency or rental accommodation in the alert area to enter the area. B.C. Hydro customers without electricity had power restored Friday thanks to temporary diesel generating units integrated into the system. The generating units will provide continuous power to customers that have been receiving power on a rotational basis and to the La Casa subdivision. About 100 customers directly in the fire zone will remain without power until B.C. Hydro is able to repair equipment in the area impacted by the fire.

Okanagan band praises firefighters Morning Star Staff
The effort of firefighters to tackle wildfires burning in the region is garnering praise from the Okanagan Indian Band. Chief Byron Louis says band council is grateful for the ongoing hard work carried out by the B.C. Wildfire
Service and its crews. “Given the ongoing hot weather and the intense heat from the fire, we’re grateful for the firefighters’ dedication,” said Louis, “While the Westside Road fire is more than 10 kilometres away from the border of our reserve, some of our
members are on hand to fight it.” Okanagan Indian Band members Ned Alexis, Shea Phelan and Taylor Belanger are part of the crews currently battling the Westside Road fire, with Pikala Good Water on standby. “OKIB members have received train-
ing through the First Nations Emergency Services Society over the years,” said Louis, “We’re glad to have members trained in this vital profession.” Aside from having band members part of the attack crews, the OKIB has also provided its shower facilities
Green Party selects candidate Morning Star Staff
The Greens are ready for the federal election. Chris George, a retired businessman, won the party’s Okanagan-Shuswap nomination after an endorsement from Keli Westgate, who also sought the position. “Chris is an information techie who likes numbers and knows policy. He is in the best position to win this riding,” said Westgate. George is from Notch Hill in the Shuswap. “Environmental issues Chris George brought me to the Green Party but its progressive, realistic social policies including a guaranteed livable income, keep me Green”, he said. “There is no excuse for poverty in Canada. Elizabeth May’s small business initiatives are the best there is. Trade deals that give foreign corporations the right to sue our government for making responsible decisions in the interests of Canada must be renegotiated.” George added that he supports small farms, organic agriculture, local business, and alternatives to shift work in the oil sands that will provide jobs in this region. “We want jobs that keep families together —
Road repairs start Morning Star Staff
Coldstream residents are being advised of work at two separate rail crossings. The crossing at Kalamalka Road and Highway 6, by Coldstream Ranch, will be closed to accommodate railway upgrades and road repairs Tuesday. The railway crossing on Hill Drive will be closed to accommodate railway upgrades and road repairs Wednesday. Work may start as early as 6:30 a.m. to accommodate train schedules. “Traffic control will be in effect for the duration of construction on both projects and signage will be posted in advance of road closures,” said Mike Baker, the district’s director of
jobs that will keep paying when the oil runs out, jobs that will fund better medicare, better education, and a cleaner environment.” The Green candidate selection was delayed by discussion about co-operation among the opposition parties but George says the other parties responded to attempts to avoid vote-splitting. When asked if he would continue to seek cooperation, George said he would consider “horse trading,” but that, “the Green Party is a good place for progressive Conservatives and others who are dismayed by the fear mongering and extreme hard right politics of the current government.” Local Greens were left looking for a candidate after Dave Smith resigned May 24 over what he described as irreconcilable differences with members of the local party.
“Our resources are limited, but we’re willing to help anyway we can,” said Louis.

If man can go to the moon...
T
hey say my laptop has several-million times the computing power of the ones NASA used to put a man on the moon, even though it’s only a fraction of the size. I need all that power to watch cat videos on Facebook – when I’m not playing “Candy Crush” or “Words With Friends,” things they could only dream about doing on their way to the moon. Those poor astronauts must have been so bored. It makes me realize how lucky they were to make it to the moon at all. What if their computer worked perfectly during thousands of hours of tests and then, when they got into space, it suddenly started acting Jim Mullen like mine – balky, cranky and hard to please? Whenever I say to people, “Hey, watch this,” the video I want to share with them will refuse to start. Or it will say “buffering,” or it will just sit there as if the keyboard is disconnected. As soon as the people walk away in disgust, knowing that I have wasted 15 seconds that they could have been spending on Facebook, the computer returns to normal. I wonder if there’s a word for it – the “InterNot”? If only it were just the computer. I have a radio that squawks and hisses every time I come near it. As soon as I move away, everything is fine. It’s like owning the world’s worst theremin. I have a GPS unit that works fine, as long as I know exactly where I am going. When I don’t need it, it works perfectly and is never a problem. If I’m in a strange neighborhood full of zombielike pedestrians looking at me behind the wheel as if I were a succulent, aromatic, hot-off-the-grill steak, the thing won’t work

at all. I haven’t got a clue whether the next left turn goes into a dead-end alley or just a ganginfested, open-air drug market. Our electric oven has even started to go off while Sue’s making dinner. She’ll put a roast in the oven and when she comes back, the oven has conveniently turned itself off and there’s no way to know how long it’s been off. It’s hard to tell if it’s been off for five minutes or 30. Is the roast half-cooked or quarter-cooked? If this is a feature on all new ovens, she’d rather not have it. I have an alarm clock that goes off at 7 every morning – weekdays, weekends, rain or shine, no matter what time I set it for. I had to turn off the sound so when it goes off I don’t have to hear it. So now it’s just a clock, not an alarm clock. It’s good for letting me know how late I am for important appointments. Well, not all the time. The slightest random nanosecond power failure will make it and almost every other clock we own start blinking “12:00, 12:00, 12:00” until we reset them. Countless times we have picked up the ringing phone to find that no one is on the other end. Of course, we know it’s a computer calling us. We know it because, like mine, it is shy in front of strangers, which is a shame, because we love to take phone surveys at dinnertime and hear about new low interest rates from the same people who are now charging us high interest rates. The only question is: Why do they have to ask? If it’s such a good deal for me, why don’t they just do it? I promise I won’t complain. Wouldn’t it be funny to find out that the computers that keep track of our credit cards and run our nuclear reactors and operate our missile defense systems come out of the same factory as my laptop, GPS, radio and oven? Well, maybe not. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
With the crashes seen lately on local highways and arterial roads, and even the fender benders on the commute and in parking lots, it’s clear something is happening. We wonder if drivers’ attention spans are diminished this time of year, if it’s the heat or if some more scientific reason exists for what seems to be an increased number of traffic incidents. For certain, at this time of year many of us are anxious to get to our destinations, whether it be work or shopping, heading out for holidays or travelling to the homes of friends or relatives for gathering. Regardless of the journey’s end, it’s worth taking a little extra time to plan ahead for the travel, whether it be the route you’re taking, the time you depart or a combination of the two. Both can pose challenges with more people on the roads, and create unnecessary stress that often leads to aggressive and unsafe driving actions. We’ve all seen people passing when it’s unsafe, driving at overly high speeds or tailgating, to name a few indiscretions. If no crash or mishap occurs as a result of such behaviours, the people victimized by such aggressive driving can count themselves lucky. But that’s not always the case. As the popular bumper sticker states, “Failure to plan on your part does not dictate an emergency on my part.” How true. Demonstrating patience is not necessarily taught by driving schools or listed in any handbook, but it’s a critically important aspect of defensive driving. At the very least, remember to breathe when behind the wheel. You’ll get there eventually, even without driving like a knucklehead. – Black Press

Not just a volunteer
hen people ask me, "Your husband is a firefighter?" I often catch myself saying, "Yeah, he's just a volunteer." Just a volunteer who spends countless evenings and weekends in training. Just a volunteer who runs out of the house, leaving behind his wife and kids at dinner, breakfast, and his only day off to help someone in need. Just a volunteer who spends four hours at a call in the middle of the night only to wake up two hours later to go to his regular job. Just a volunteer who endangers his life fighting fires. Just a volunteer who assists paramedics doing CPR on a person. Just a volunteer who cuts victims out of vehicles at accident scenes, whether alive or dead, and then some how has to go back to work and finish his day there. Just a volunteer who isn't just anything. So to all of those men and women who sacrifice their personal and family time, who risk their lives and who are there to help when others are going through their worst, thank you. Monica Hofsink

The party really rocked when Sally Evans and Molly Boyd took to the stage and the floor with songs of the past which prompted the audience to join in. This duo never fails to liven up the party. The tea would not be possible without the hard work of Jean Galli and her ladies and gentlemen of the thrift store who made all of the delicious goodies and also contributed items for the silent auction, which raised $400 for the Lumby and District Health Services Society. This wonderful, hard-working group quietly goes about assisting in so many ways in their community. Hope to see you next year folks. Jean Latval, chairperson Lumby Health Society PICKLEBALL PLANS I heard over the radio June 25 that Doug Ross, the city’s recreation director, announced Vernon’s official bid for the B.C. 55+ games. The other applicants being Kelowna and Penticton. This is where I start my rant. Both Penticton and Kelowna have dedicated outdoor pickleball facilities and last year’s pickleball venue
attracted more than 220 players when Langley hosted the Games. Does Vernon propose they play on tennis courts, curling rinks or converted ice sheets? As I read Armstrong’s consideration of dedicated courts at Memorial Park in The Morning Star, it baffles me nothing is heard from Vernon on its plans. I then read on the front page of The Morning Star June 24 that the Vernon Economic Development Committee unveiled an Activate Life tag line encouraging Vernon residents to get active through sports and leisure. The 200-plus registered pickleball players here in town are bewildered that we are playing on tennis courts, school gyms and curling rinks with our temporary portable nets that we purchased. For those that did not know, there are two clubs in town, both at different locations with different time slots that rent tennis courts from Vernon parks and recreation at the cost of more than $7,000 annually. The Vernon Pickleball Club (VPC), was charged $700 by parks and recreation to have the additional court lines painted at Middleton Mountain Park last year while the Greater Vernon Pickleball Association (GVPA) rented the curling rink and taped its own temporary lines this year. As a first year member of GVPA, it makes me wonder why the hesitation or reluctance for dedicated courts? I am sure Mr. Ross is aware of these issues and is working diligently to resolve this but in the mean time nothing is heard. So in conclusion, it's my understanding that
the City of Vernon, with consultation with the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, has a long range plan (four to six years) to action this. It sounds like too many fingers in the pie with no forward progress. It would be nice to fast-track this before I have to switch to indoor carpet bowling or checkers. Pat Broschart WATER RATES DEFENDED I feel the need to respond to all of the negativity in regards to all the high water bills. We own just over an acre of land in Lavington. I decided to add up our bills for the past year, including the one I just paid. I did the math, divided it by 365, and came up with $1.41 per day. That's not too bad, less than a cup of coffee in any restaurant in town or a plastic bottle of water from your local gas station. Our neighbours will probably say, "But there are only two people living there." True, but we have a fair amount of company throughout the year. Three weeks of company at Christmas with showers every day and the dishwasher running every day and sometimes twice a day. We will be seeing seven family members arriving this weekend. Again, showers, toilets, etc. We put in drought-resistant plants which are absolutely beautiful, the grass not so much, and that's OK. Our gas and electrical bills are always going up, and yet more people complain about water than they do about them. We can go without gas and electricity if we have to, but we cannot survive without water. Pat Scherck
STICKLE ROAD It’s interesting to hear some potentially better solutions for the Stickle Road intersection from the public who use it than we got from the Highways engineering department. We are seeing some support for a roundabout, which I initially thought had some merit, but has it’s own drawbacks. The majority of traffic at that intersection is North / South highway traffic. There is no need for that traffic flow to slow to 20 kph with no traffic to the West or East. The quickest, simplest, and cheapest solution would be to post speed signs of 70 kph from and to the weigh scales. That reduced speed should allow traffic to merge safely from East or West. Longer term we will probably still need a traffic light. We have the technology to only stop highway traffic when traffic is waiting at the intersection. Dave Tompson

Initially, I joined Rotary 28 years ago because my company told me I needed to be involved with a service organization. I stayed with Rotary because Rotary has allowed me to pursue my passions and serve the community in a way that is consistent with my values. I love to work with the youth in our community and through Rotary I can join likeminded community leaders and have fun.

As a Rotarian for over 10 years now, but newly transplanted to this area, I reflect on the topic of membership as this month is membership month. My time in Rotary has been so very fulfilling and enjoyable. When I first joined Rotary it was for the purpose of professional networking, and make no mistake, that has been effective. But very quickly I realized this was about something way bigger than that (or me) and that there were real differences around the communities and the world we live in being made here. I was so impressed with the dedication of this group to their communities and the people that live here. I was surprised by how good meeting people and having fellowship felt, and how no matter where I went in the world I could seek out and enjoy that fellowship and have that connectivity. But most importantly as I look back over the years, I can’t believe how many friendships and great relationships have been formed and maintained all because someone told me this was a great networking opportunity. So I say to anyone who is looking for some great networking opportunities, to get out and be with people, and make a difference in their community and the world we live in. Membership = Fellowship = Friendships. Join your local Rotary group today. You won’t regret it.

B.C.’s education minister is being told to pump more cash into rural schools. The Regional District of North Okanagan board will write Peter Fassbender and ask that funding be increased for rural schools, particularly given cuts to busing locally. “They are so lean and mean and they need our support,” said director Juliette Cunningham of the Vernon School District which has slashed bus routes in Cherryville and rural Lumby to save money. Cunningham, who is a former school trustee, insists pressure must be placed on Fassbender directly. “I’d like to show support for the school district and the situation it is in.” Among the reductions in service this September is the bus route on on Sugar Lake Road. “I can’t believe this is what’s happening in our community,” said Eugene Foisy, alternate Cherryville director. “We’re expecting our children to walk along a road with logging trucks in the winter. People are really up in arms about this.” There is also a concern that reduced
school busing could lead to fewer families in Cherryville and rural Lumby. “People are saying, ‘Who will move out to the community if there is no busing?’ It will impact property values,” said Foisy.
“I can’t believe this is what’s happening...”

The Ministry of Environment ended the smoky skies advisory for the Okanagan Friday. The wildfires burning in the region have been gradually subsiding, reducing the amounts of smoke and resulting in improved air quality. Cooler temperatures and calmer winds have created favourable conditions, and further relief is expected over the weekend as the weather system moving through the Southern Interior is forecasted to bring precipitation.

Tiremen settle for single point Morning Star Staff
A back-and-forth Tree Brewing Kelowna Men’s Over 35 Soccer League barn burner between Vernon Kal Tire FC and Kelowna Alves Bros. ended in a 4-4 tie Thursday at Marshall Field. The home side will lament letting a pair of two-goal leads slip away. Jesse Knight gave Kal Tire a 2-0 first-half lead. He first directed a Ryan Sharp long ball into the goal with his head, then drove to the net and finished with a sharpangled shot that eluded the Kelowna keeper. Knight has 14 goals on the year. After Alves Bros. tied the game in the second half, Bryan Schenker restored the tiremen’s lead when he turned the clock back 10 years, ran around three Kelowna defenders and nailed his own sharp-angled shot that hit the far post and tucked inside the near post. Schenker showed the first goal was no fluke when, minutes later, he stole the ball and buried a shot past the Alves Bros. keeper to make it 4-2 Kal Tire, and putting the home team in good position for three points. The Kelowna squad, which sits third in the league table at 7-6-2, scored twice in the final 10 minutes. With time winding down in the match, Glenn Allan had a breakaway but was unable
to find the net and, a minute later, Rodney Goodchild got a feed from Tyler Johnson but rang his shot off the crossbar. With a two minutes to go, Kal Tire had a scramble in front of the Alves Bros. net with multiple hits that were blocked and then finally cleared. Despite the tie, Kal Tire remains in first place with a 13-1-1 record, and gained a point on second place Lake Country, who lost to Penticton. The Vernon squad travels to Salmon Arm Thursday to meet the Beer Badgers (4-91). Capri Insurance Men’s 55+ League Kelowna North Country Appraisal Kickers put the boots to Vernon Kal Tire, scoring a 4-1 win Thursday at Marshall Field. Terry Lowe had the lone goal for the tiremen (6-5-2), knocking in a rebound off a Glenn Jones rebound. Kal Tire’s Schneider’s Meats Man of the Match was keeper Yogi Kongsdorf. Vernon Silver Stars improved to 8-5-0 by pounding Lake Country’s Beasley FC 10-5 at Beasley Sports Field. Robert Ross had three goals for the winners, who led 4-0 at the interval. Phil McNally – visiting and on loan from Liverpool (England, not FC), Mahmoud Abdelkader and Paul McCardle each

North Okanagan Women’s Association Div. 2 OTC/Sunterra Sistas eked out a 3-2 win over Sir Winston’s Attack Thursday at Marshall Field. After falling behind 1-0, Diane Neudorf tied the game
for the Sistas in the second half. Teammate Becky Birblis gave OTC/Sunterra a 2-1 lead, one-timing a pass inside the box from Andrea Zubot. After Sir Winston’s equalized, Neudorf added the winner, beating two defenders
after taking a feed from Zubot and blasting a shot past the keeper. In the other contest, the Green Rockets held on for a 4-3 win over the Fantastic Four at Marshall Field. Emma Louie, with a deuce, and Karinda McGraw
scored for F-Squared, who received a terrific game from keeper Suzyn August, and who welcomed centre midfield Richelle Seguin back to the lineup. Olivia Anderson and Alana Lindsay provided terrific defence in front of August.
Tigers down Venom to force Game 5 Morning Star Staff

One game, winner-take-all. The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers – once down two games to none – forced a fifth and deciding contest in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship Thursday in Kamloops. The Tigers erupted for 10 third-period goals in a 13-6 win over the Kamloops Venom, who suffered more than losing a chance to clinch the title in Game 4 at Kamloops Memorial Arena. The fifth and deciding game is set for Monday, 7:30 p.m., at Kal Tire Place and the Venom don’t know who will play between the pipes. Veteran goalie Mitch Horsman – who took a hard shot to the head in the third
period – collapsed in the arena hallway immediately after stepping off the floor Thursday. Horsman was attended to by first responders present at the arena, and by fire and ambulance personnel who were called to the scene. “It was a very scary situation,” said Venom general manager Jan Antons on Friday. “You know it’s scary when he’s in the treatment room and doesn’t recognize people close to him.” Horsman, who is in his final year of junior eligibility, was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment. He was released in the early hours of Friday morning after being diagnosed with a severe concussion. Antons said Horsman has been ruled out for Monday and
fellow goalie Dalan Etter did not dress for the Venom Thursday after suffering a lower body injury running to the bench on a delayed Vernon penalty in Game 3 at Kal Tire Place. Asked what his club’s goaltending situation is for Monday, Antons said, “it’s to be determined.” Kamloops led 1-0 after one period and 4-3 after 40 minutes, setting the stage for the Tigers’ offensive explosion. “The flood gates opened,” said Vernon head coach Chris Scabar. “We held our ground defensively, we scored a couple of big goals and then we were relentless.” Quintin Harrish led the Tigers with five goals. Ryan Sarazin and Steele Pelletier had two apiece while singles went
to Darrell Landels, Thomas Landels, Ethan Anderson and Jay Seaton. Jerome Thorne had four of the six Venom markers. Vernon goalie Aaron Jensen was outstanding, making 54 saves while Horsman stopped 38 shots. “We know Kamloops is going to come with their A-game,” said Scabar of Monday’s seriesdeciding game. Scabar was taken aback when told of the injury to Horsman. “That’s terrible. But whoever they have in goal, we can’t underestimate them because they’ve beaten us twice in this series.” Monday’s winner will represent the league at the B.C. Junior B championships in Saanich starting July 31.

Vest set to test Pinehurst course KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
He just turned nine and averages 230 yards off the tee, usually out-driving players two and three years older on the junior golf tours. Ryan Vest is 4-foot-5, 80 pounds and getting bigger, but he’s hardly growing up too fast. His favourite TV show is SpongeBob Squarepants. Talk golf with the kid for a few moments and you may think he’s a freelancer for Golf Digest. Vest can rattle off PGA names and stats like he’s been following the game for decades. Been that way since he was four. He used to admire Adam Scott – who shares the same July 16 birthday – and Phil Mickelson, but now has a new hero on the links. “I really like Jordan Spieth,” said Vest, soon to be a Grade 4 Montessori student at Silver Star Elementary. “I’m putting like him so I’m looking at the hole.” Vest produced a 2-over 39-35-74 to share third place with Jose Raul Carrillo of Mexico at the U.S. Kids Golf Invitational last October in St. Lucie, Fla. Sihan Sandhu of Virginia was first at 37-29-66, while Asher Joseph of Florida placed second in the Under 8 Division. Vest received Green Status by finishing third and gets an automatic invitation back to this year’s tourney, July 30-Aug. 1 at Pinehurst, N.C. It will be his fourth U.S. Kids experience. “I’m excited to be playing the No. 1 course because we stayed near there last year and I hit some shots on No. 1. There were lots of pine cones to hit too.” Vest says he is not intimidated by the older and stronger kids in the Bantam category of the Maple Leaf Junior Tour. He was runner-up in the Under 12 grouping with 84-77 at The Harvest in Kelowna in one Maple Leaf stop. “I’m not a mini midget,” he deadpanned. “I was nervous at first, but I just go out and play the game like I can and do my best.” Vest says he’s “so, so” off the tees and “decent” on the fairways thus far this summer. He has “greened” the par-4, 236-yard sixth hole at the Ridge Course, while also reaching the par-4, 208-yard 16th on the same Predator track, from the yellow tees. And the 10th hole at Spallumcheen,

Vernon’s Ryan Vest, nine, a Grade 4 Montessori student at Silver Star Elementary, looks to build on last year’s third place finish at the upcoming U.S. Kids Golf Invitational tournament in North Carolina. where you can carry water for better yardage, Vest can also do that as well. “What a heck of a par save, hey dad?” said Vest, going off course in the interview to discuss how he hit his approach shot to within a foot on No. 8 in a recent round at Spall with his father, Jeff. Vest has played more than 50 rounds this season and has a collection of 200 balls. After a pizza lunch, he marked his ninth birthday by carding a smooth 78 at Predator Ridge, his main sponsor. He enjoys pick-up soccer and floor hockey when not golfing, and claims he can beat his dad at squash. He hits a Nike Vapor driver and uses U.S. Kids TS-54 irons.
Pinehurst is famous for its wide fairways, forest-like trees and Bermuda grass. Vest will get in two practice rounds and have his dad caddying. Mom Laurie will handle nutrition and curfew. “I’m just going to say to myself, ‘I’m going to win it,’ and go have fun,” said Ryan. He took an early-season lesson from former LPGA pro AJ Eathorne at Predator, but says he is pretty much self-taught. “I mostly coach myself. I listen to my dad and he listens to me.” Vest won his first golf trophy in March of 2014 with a third at the Desert Shootout at The Wigwam Golf Course in Phoenix. He shot a low-round 38 on the Sunday for the hardware.

Not long after, Joe joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, becoming a navigator, and Joe and Lois were married July 29, 1955 in Winnipeg at the Air Force base. Their life in the military took them to Montreal; Goose Bay, Labrador; Ottawa; Winnipeg; BadenSolingen and Ramstein, Germany, and their final transfer was to Edmonton in 1972. Lois was a stay-at -home mom, taking care of the couple’s two children, Janet and Michael, while Joe travelled the world as a navigator. Lois was actively involved in volunteering and sewing for the local hospital auxiliaries. Joe retired in 1984 from the Air Force and became a financial plan-

Gardens provide food security Jill Worboys Special to The Morning Star
Sunday, July 26, 2015 - The Morning Star A15
Summer is the season when we first get to taste that just-picked juicy peach or the crunchy cucumber fresh from the garden. Local food, the importance of B.C. agriculture and food security is in the news a lot these days. Food security? What do you mean? We need to lock up our food? Well not quite — food security means much more than that. Food security exists when all community members are able to get safe, personally acceptable food through a sustainable food system that maximizes healthy choices, community self-reliance and equal access for everyone. Prices are going up and many people cannot afford to buy healthy food. The cost of food is rising for a number of reasons including higher gas prices and dry growing areas. It is important to source locally grown food whenever possible, whether it be from your garden or a local farm. Local foods help reduce our dependence on food that travels far distances. If you are affected by the rising cost of food or if you want to help build food security in your community, there are a number of things you can do: Start growing your own food!
Even if you don’t have a green thumb, there are many fruits and vegetables that are easy to grow. Start small with one or two patio pots with cucumber or tomatoes and go from there. Ask friends or neighbours who garden for some tips. Sign up for a plot at your local community garden or start a community garden if you don’t have one close by. Consider joining a local gleaning program. Volunteers who help pick fruit and veggies get to take some home! Support local farmers. Shop at farmers markets or fruit and veggie stands. Get involved with a food policy council or food action group. These groups are involved in projects and programs that help build food security. Learn about your local government and how they are supporting food security. For more information about how Interior Health supports community food security, visit www. i nt e r i or h e a lt h . c a / Yo u r He a lt h / HealthyLiving/FoodSecurity/Pages/ default.aspx Jill Worboys is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

A weekend in Whistler COLLEEN FRIESEN
Special To The Morning Star
B.C. - The odds of having a great Whistler weekend increase exponentially if you start by sabraging off the top of a champagne bottle in the Bearfoot Bistro’s wine cellar. And if you end that evening in a Pan Pacific Mountainside suite after multiple courses of divine tastes and velvety glasses of red wine at the aforementioned Bearfoot Bistro, especially after four chilly tastings in the minus 32 Celsius Vodka Room…well… life’s all right. It all started innocently enough. I was wondering about shoulder-season activities at Whistler. The truth is, Whistler doesn’t really have a shoulder season. There is a ridiculous list of year-round activities. What I was really after was something unusual. So. Except for the super hardcore, it was no longer ski season. And, since neither my husband Kevin nor I were into the killer downhill mountain bike riding, that too, was out of the running. We could, of

course, go golfing and that would have been fine, but golfing had sort of been done. Plus, I wanted things that were new to both of us. And, with my 55th birthday rapidly approaching, it was time to shift gears a little, to shake up our usual conversations Luckily, after the evening at Bearfoot Bistro, our first activity didn’t start until 10 a.m. and Jon Fathom proved to be just the ticket.

art project in elementary school, sketched his inukshuk on the blackboard, then drew it again on the soapstone and carved and cut and sanded up a storm. We were both so engrossed in our minisculptures that we barely had time to grab lunch and get to Vincent and Cheryl Massey’s gallery to do some weaving. Weaving? I know. I know. But here’s the deal. First off, their gallery and home is hippieheaven-gorgeous; they’re lovely people (he’s an amazing potter) and plaiting strips of wet cedar bark turned out to be a pretty darned cool thing to do. Let’s not forget the act of weaving is probably deeply embedded in our African ancestral roots. Once again, time left the building while we chatted and wove and solved the puzzle of braiding the cedar lengths into two little coasters. Two, I might add, very very cool cedar coasters. Exhausted by our artistic endeavours, we opted for an early night at the Dubh Linn Gate Restaurant. We shared a heaping pile of starters. Almost everything is made in-house with locally sourced ingredi-
ents. My favourite was the little platter of local sausages and housemade pickles. On Sunday, we shifted our focus to the great outdoors. We started off with a hike with a naturalist from Whistler Eco-Tours, top-rated ski-instructor and general all-roundridiculously-interesting, Jeannie. We hiked to Cheakamus Lake as she shared the names and some characteristics of the indigenous plants. Years ago, I’d learned some of the basic names of B.C. flora, but Jeannie was naming stuff that I swear I’d never even seen before. Next up was another Whistler Eco-Tour. This time the plan was to paddle the River of Golden Dreams — about the coolest name for any river. Ever. Wind at our backs, we quickly left Alta Lake behind and entered the River of Golden Dreams, a narrow passage festooned with sunny-yellow lilies and low-hanging trees. Meanwhile, thunder bashed the mountains. When we pulled into Green Lake, we got a real good look behind us. What we saw was an ominous black cloud matched with increasing thunder. Our guide Chris radioed the van’s driver, we exited the canoes and, in a few quick minutes, we were delivered back to our car at the Pan Pacific for the drive home to Vancouver. The heavens opened up just as we left the hotel. Now, each morning my coffee mug rests on a very groovy artisan cedar coaster. Our inukshuks beckon from their perch on the bookshelves where they point the way back to Whistler. If this is what freedom 55 looks like - I think I’m going to be all right.

Teens urged to become fit Lisa VanderVeLde Morning Star Staff
Ladies World Gym is hoping local teenage girls between the ages of 12 to 17 will experience a summer of fitness. During July and August, teenage girls can enjoy the facility, equipment and more than 60 classes for a week at no cost. “As the mother of a teenage girl myself, I passionately believe these years are important in terms of both mental and physical development,” said Denise Hayhurst, assistant manager of Ladies World Gym. Hayhurst says adolescent girls can face many barriers to maintaining their physical fitness. Issues surrounding body image, insecurity and their changing bodies sometimes means exercise can take a back seat. The focus will be on building strength, cardio conditioning and creating friendships. “The fitness habits teens develop during their adolescence are likely to last a lifetime and our team is happy to help young women develop a positive body image and, most of all, stay active,” said Hayhurst.

Bike rentals open downtown TyLer LoWey Morning Star Staff
A new bike rental shop has opened its doors in downtown Vernon, offering people a new way to cruise around the community. Jackie Harris is the manager at Loop Cruisers, which has been initiated by the Downtown Vernon Association. “Bike renting decreases car traffic and emissions, increases foot traffic and promotes fitness,” said Harris, who is a bike enthusiast. Harris grew up in Vernon, but lived in Vancouver for five years and got to see the city from a different perspective on two wheels instead of four. “Vernon is a very accessible and bikeable city,” said Harris. “It’s an easier way to get around town, enjoy the nice weather and it’s stress-

free parking.” Bikes are rented out by the hour. The first hour is $10 and it’s another $5 added on for each hour after that. The rentals come with a bike lock and a helmet. “Whether you want to get groceries, cruise down to a local restaurant or head to a park, Loop Cruisers offers an affordable and dynamic alternative to transportation,” said Lara Konkin, executive director of Downtown Vernon Association.
There are 10 bikes available to rent from Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Loop Cruisers will shut down Sept. 18 for the winter. The bike is a sleek, black cruiser with sporting wire baskets in the front. It is a single-speed bicycle with an adjustable seat for a smooth and easy ride. There are no limitations on how far you can ride, but there are no overnight rentals, and rides will not last longer than seven-and-a-half hours. Two bikes will also be rented out Fridays form 5 to 8 p.m. at the Downtown Avenue Market on 30th Avenue. The DVA will be handing out coupons for Loop Cruisers in downtown stores all summer. Loop Cruisers is located behind the visitors information centre, next to Civic Arena, on 39th Avenue.

Local cats have a new place to hang out. Shannon and Shelley Carpenter recently opened Kits and Kats cat-sitting service. “We have been life-long cat lovers and have used cat boarding services, in-home care and cat and dog kennels,” said Shannon Carpenter. “We knew based on our experience sharing our home with cats and what we learned from boarding our cats that we could provide a top-notch cat sitting service. I felt that it would be an excellent service to start once we moved to Vernon. We decided to incorporate all facets of cat sitting: boarding, inhome care, pick-up and delivery and short notice bookings for clients who are selling their homes and are having open houses.” The couple moved to Vernon for retirement purposes. “My wife’s family has been here for years, and I lived in Vernon in 1978 and caught the bug,” said Shannon. “Consequently, we both know Vernon well and knew we would eventually retire here.” The couple have two cats of their own, George and Lizzie, both of whom are 11-years-old. “We have them proudly posted on our website,” said Shannon.
3109 – 32 Avenue, Vernon • 250-545-7264 www.clarkrobinson.com
“George is never far away from us and Lizzie is a little more solitary, she is very skittish but very lovable.” Kits and Kats offers pick-up and delivery service to Armstrong and the Greater Vernon area.

Stop Paying Rent ... Grindrod plan endorsed Own Your Own Home!

An agricultural enterprise could take root in Grindrod. The Regional District of North Okanagan will forward an application for non-farm use at Grandivew Bench Road and Highway 97A to the Agricultural Land Commission for consideration. John deDood and his family want to use 3,200-squarefeet of a barn to open a retail store and increase agriculGreg McCune tural awareness. “The barn will be open to locals, tourists and international visitors,” said deDood, who operates a dairy farm. “Our goal is to host school groups.” RDNO is stipulating that at least 50 per cent of the total sales area must be limited to the sale of farm products produced on the farm itself.
Service satisfies
DOWN 2.5% FINANCING
— John deDood
DeDood says the plan is for his family to produce a number of food products on the farm and to also sell items from other local farms and producers. “The concept of the store is to showcase agriculture,” he said. “There are so many great products in this valley and to have them in one location is a winwin.” Unanimous support to send the non-farm use application to the ALC came from the regional district board. “The store is needed. Agri-tourism is an opportunity for people to profit,” said director Greg McCune.

Most Lake Country residents appear to be happy with their community and the services they receive. A recent survey indicated that most respondents were either very satisfied (65 per cent) or somewhat satisfied (32 per cent) with their quality of life in Lake Country, while with the municipal services they receive for the taxes they pay, they were very satisfied (17 per cent) or somewhat satisfied (48 per cent). “It’s pretty spectacular,” said Mayor James Baker. “It shows people are generally pleased with what we do.” If there was one area for improvement, it was with upgrading roads and extending the sidewalk and trail network. “We’ve been working on it,” said Baker. “We are always going after senior government funding and will continue to do that so it’s not always on our taxpayers.” Nineteen per cent of respondents indicated that the single biggest opportunity for improving Lake Country was transportation-related improvements. Other findings from the survey include: Thirty-five per cent want a publicly-funded arts, cultural and heritage centre. Seventy-five per cent are willing to support medium to high-density developments in urbanized areas to preserve the rural character an agriculture lands outside these areas. Eighty-nine per cent believe agriculture contributes to the quality of life, while 76 per cent say agriculture bolsters the economy.

Tourism growing
C
anada’s natural beauty has been sought out and appreciated by Canadians and visitors alike for a long time and today tourism remains an important driver of our regional and national economies. Canada’s government launched the federal tourism strategy in 2011 establishing a coordinated approach to position Canada as a premier destination and the results of the strategy speak for themselves. In 2014, tourism revenues in Canada reached $88.5 billion, an increase of nearly five per cent compared to Colin Mayes 2013. Most importantly, the tourism industry accounts for nearly 628,000 jobs in Canada including thousands here in the Okanagan- Shuswap. Last year, over 16 million visitors came to discover and experience our destinations, from coast to coast to coast. With a nine per cent increase in overnight trips from overseas markets, 2014 was a good year. Tourism’s growth has seen an increase in visitors from emerging markets like China, India and Mexico. According to the Reputation Institute, Canada is one of the top countries in the world to visit, to live or to study in, but also the best country for attending conferences or organizing events and this has also grown tourism. Our reputation is not just a concept: achieving results in a complex and competitive marketplace requires continued outreach and state of the art marketing campaigns that our government continues to invest in. In addition to continued investment in the
infrastructure that brings visitors to our region, new investments from the Canadian Tourism Commission in emerging markets have led to tangible results. In the first four months of 2015, overnight trips to Canada by international visitors grew by 5.7 per cent compared to the same period last year. Comparatively, the United Nations World Tourism Organization most recent forecasts have predicted a three to four per cent growth in world tourist arrivals in 2015. Indeed, we are on the right track. I wish you a safe and prosperous summer season.

HOW WALKING CAN COST YOU MONEY
© Janice Mucalov, LL.B. and George Mucalov, LL.B.
Who would have thought! Walking can cost you financially if you do it carelessly and hurt someone. But it is not really a special case - it falls squarely under the general rules that apply to negligence cases. From the victim’s perspective, it means that if you are seriously hurt by someone who injured you by their carelessness, you may be able to get compensation. An interesting case illustrates this. It involved unusual circumstances that led to unfortunate but significant injuries. Anne (names changed), 60, was a volunteer at a Coquitlam residential care facility that catered to patients with mental health issues. These patients sometimes became agitated, even violent. Nursing staff were trained to deal with this (volunteers were not), and both nurses and volunteers wore devices around their necks so they could sound Richard an alarm when such issues arose. Anne, who had rheumatoid arthritis in her knees and ankles, was volunteering at the facility one afternoon when a patient started screaming and acting out. An alarm was triggered. Bev was the head nurse in charge at the time. Anne was standing just a few feet outside Bev’s office, looking at the distraught patient going past the nurse’s office. Bev (at 5 feet 6 inches and 185 lbs., a significantly more imposing figure than Anne at 5 feet 2 inches and 95 lbs.) emerged quickly from her office to respond to the patient alarm. She too had

her eyes fixed on the patient and walked straight toward her, unintentionally colliding with Anne. She did not see Anne, nor did Anne see her coming, as both had their eyes focused on the patient. Bev knocked Anne down to the floor. As a result, Anne broke her left hip and also suffered soft tissue injuries. The court decided that Fraser Health, Bev’s employer, had to pay Anne some compensation for her injuries from this accident. There was no dispute about the fact that Bev owed a duty to Anne to be careful, and that Anne suffered injuries as a result of Bev colliding with her. Though they were both in an unusual environment – a care facility where it was important for staff to respond promptly to disturbances – this did not mean Bev could just ignore anything and anyone in her Barton path. She did not even notice Anne in her path, which was negligent. But the court said that Anne, too, bore some responsibility for her injury. She should have known that, once the patient became agitated, the nurse in charge would be the first to respond. So she should not have stood near the door of the nurse’s office but moved out of the way. This meant that Anne was partly to blame for her own misfortune. The court therefore decided that Bev was 60% to blame for Anne’s injuries (Anne was responsible for the other 40%). If you are hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s fault, consult your lawyer.

Bollywood inspires local dance teacher Tracy Kaye Holly and her students, who have embraced the rhythms of India while staying fit Donna McGrath Special to The Morning Star
When Tracy Kaye Holly decided to offer Bollywood dance classes in Vernon, she brought her long history as a dancer and love of all things Bollywood along. Bollywood, the Indian movie industry based in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), is hugely popular around the world. India produces more films than any other country (more than 800 per year), and it is estimated that one sixth of the world’s population watches Bollywood films. “Bollywood movies have it all — dance, music, drama, comedy, passion — and they are really good actors, dancers and singers,” said Kaye Holly, “they are so expressive with their movements and their eyes.” Wanting to combine her interest in Bollywood with her other passions — dance and fitness — Kaye Holly created a Bollywood dance/fitness class to get people moving to the rhythms of a different beat. With classes designed to build strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness set to dynamic Bollywood music, the class has taken off in Vernon. The Holly Bollywood Dance Troupe was a natural progression from the dance/fitness class to a performance group, as Kaye Holly also had a vision of choreographing for a group and performing those big Bollywood dance scenes she enjoys so much. The large spontaneous street dance scenes indicative of more contemporary Bollywood films combine hip hop, jazz, disco, belly dance and Latin dance moves with traditional folk and Bhangra. Troupe member Sarah Kennedy agrees. “I love the idea of ‘mob dancing’ in Bollywood films, the big group dance scenes with spontaneous, simple dance, but when everyone is doing it together, the energy that comes from that is just the best,” she said. Why the fascination with Bollywood in Vernon? “Immigration is the driver, more people meet Indian people and then they have that curiosity to know more. With immigration we have more exposure to other cultures’ food, film and literature,” said Kennedy, an immigrant herself who feels Canada does it right. “When I first came from England I thought Canadians were being overly politically correct, but then I went back to the U.K. and realized Canada has it right, there is far better integration in Canada. Curry may be the number-one take out in England, but they haven’t embraced the culture like Canada has.” It was the love of Bollywood music, the costumes, and a chance to perform on stage that attracted Susan Stiglic Prince and her daughter Petra.

This is a lot more fun than going to the gym, it’s high energy, a really good workout and my mom and I like doing stuff together,” said Prince. “Who wants to go to the gym when you can wear beautiful costumes and dance?”
“With immigration, we have more exposure to other cultures’ food, film and literature.” — Tracy Kaye Holly
Stiglic Prince also participated in Hawaiian dance and notes that in traditional dances sometimes the movements have meaning. “And you need to be aware of what the dance is saying, you need to be respectful of the culture,” she said. The colourful costumes evoke a touch of the exotic and add to the visual interest for the audience wherever the group performs.
“There is a lot of bling, a lot of sparkle and a lot of pizazz, said Kaye Holly. The dancers appreciate the beauty and richness of Indian culture and have embraced the music and dance as a way of celebrating diversity in Vernon. The Bollywood craze seems to be catching on, with more than just the dancers. “Everyone seems to love it, the costumes, the music, they think it looks like so much fun they want to join,” said Kaye Holly. Kaye Holly has many visions for things she would like to create, whether that is a new dance/fitness craze, choreography or a costume design, but never one to rest on her laurels, she is currently busy combining her expertise as a whole foods cook with a love of Indian food to create a whole foods Indian cookbook. The Holly Bollywood troupe will take a break for the summer, but Bollywood classes will resume Saturday mornings in September at Ruth McGrath Dance studio on 28th Street in downtown Vernon.

Staff and students in the Stepping Stones 2 program at Maven Lane child care centre present Timbits to construction workers who are building the new Catherine Gardens at Schubert Centre residential development for adults 55-plus.
Kids share community spirit For kids at Maven Lane, a field trip provides both a learning opportunity and a chance to share Editor’s note: The following is from Maven Lane, the Vernon child care and early learning centre. For anyone who has ever visited our Stepping Stones 2 program, you would know just how informed the children are when it comes to the many names of the different “diggers” that can be found on a construction site. They also understand the importance of safety and will always wear their vest, goggles and helmets when “working.” Because the children go on community adventures so regularly, it was inevitable that a friendship would blossom between the children and the crews working at the Schubert Centre. The children could not help themselves — they were fascinated! The crew couldn’t help themselves either; how could you not answer their questions, and share their enthusiasm? The children watched
the crew measure, saw, pour concrete, change buckets on the excavator, lay pipes, and stood thoroughly engrossed with all the hustle and bustle of the job site. After one such visit, a crew member ran after the departing children to tell them they were just about to start blast-
ing, and they might like to come back and watch (but be sure to cover their ears). What a wonderful learning opportunity for the children. They took all their observations back to the classroom and practised how to be construction workers. Thanks to the patience and generosity of spirit of those crew members, our children have a deepened understanding of all the things that they see in books, and look at from car windows. When
they start seeing people move into the buildings that were once a construction site, they will have a “big picture” of how their homes came to be. By way of a thank you, the children took the crew some Timbits to enjoy on their coffee break. Maven Lane strives to ensure our children are active members of our community, and it is interactions like this that will instil a sense of belonging and citizenship. It is true; you should

Feature event: bebe’s legacy lives on in the st. John ambulance therapy dog program
B
ebe was a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog in Vernon for more than 13 years. She accompanied her handler, Jo-Ann Johnston, whenever she gave numerous orientations, arranged or supervised many assessments, and/or gave talks about the program to a variety of people. Bebe accompanied Johnston whenever new handlers went to visit on their first visit. This happened more than 265 times. Bebe also was with Johnston when she went to Government House in Victoria for an investiture ceremony — the toy poodle was a big hit and even received a pat on the head from Lt.-Gov. Steven L. Point. Therefore, for Bebe’s legacy, it was decided to try to raise funds for the Therapy Dog Program by purchasing stuffed toy white poodles that looked like her. “Teeter Totter Toys has been an immense help for us to be able to do this,” said Johnston. “They found the stuffies for us and they were quickly delivered. Now we need help with making scarves for them.” If you can help make scarves for the stuffed poodles, please email Johnston at laujo@shaw.ca or call 250-542-6369.

The Night’s Mare is a whimsical dream
T
here’s an old showbiz adage, credited to W.C. Fields, that goes, “never work with children or animals.” I would argue that statement after seeing Caravan Farm Theatre’s new summer production, The Night’s Mare. In fact, I’d go even further and say the animal here is the star of the show. Although he appears in the play fleetingly in the first act, Endo, the white speckled Appaloosa, makes his presence known with his very first trot into the paddock, circling in front of the audience without hesitation. This, at first, may not seem that impressive until you look Kristin Froneman closer at this remarkable horse. Blinded five years ago from a painful eye disease known as equine recurrent uveitis, or moon blindness, Endo is not only sightless, he has no eyes. However, his empty sockets have not restricted him from finding his way - his other senses guide him as does his owner from birth, Morgan Wagner, who has her own part in the play. They are beautiful – a symbiotic force, riding together. Endo and Morgan so impressed Governor General award winning playwright Kevin Kerr, and the show’s director Courtenay Dobbie (also Caravan’s artistic director), they used their story as inspiration for the play’s underlying theme – of finding strength, beauty, and friendship through the darkness. With the opening cue of the spiritual I’ll Fly Away, played by the harmonious band of musicians, led by Armstrong’s own Gaz Jordan, with Molly MacKinnon on violin and fiddle and Dennis Siemens on bass, the legend of The Night’s Mare is told by the shaman-like narrator Queenie (scene stealer Susinn McFarlen), who pops in and out of the story, breaking the silence with her throaty laugh and boo-tactic dramatics. We hear how a blind horse, beloved by the girl who rescues it, is outcast by the girl’s father, who fears for his daughter’s safety. The horse, spooked, disappears with the girl riding on his bare back, only to be seen fleetingly by those who dare enter the

Morgan Wagner rides Endo the Blind Horse, while Jolene (Lucy Hill) gets lost in the woods. woods. The story begins as a rough-around-theedges, but soft-on-the-inside, horse tracker named Buck (jovial John Jarvis) is expecting visitors from out of town. He believes the mare is real and wants to rescue it from the woods. Meanwhile Buck’s daughter, Flo (the endearing Katey Hoffman), the town’s
baby whisperer, is planning to leave home to become a magician. Her tricks don’t impress her dad much, but her musician mom, Melody (Sarah May Redmond, also playing her accordion and singing with her amazingly strong voice), encourages Flo to pursue her passion. With her impending departure, Flo hands off her babysitting job to her gum-
and wise-cracking, Twitter-feeding friend Jolene (physical comedy expert Lucy Hill), which cues the band to play the Dolly Parton classic of the same name. The arrival of the visitors, Hollywood couple Ryan (Robert Salvador, looking spectacular sans shirt) and Jennifer (familiar stage and voice actor Sarah McVie) upends those plans when they arrive at Buck’s ranch, wanting to film a movie about the ghostly mare. Along for the ride is their own worst nightmare, unruly daughter Allie Ann (Adelleh Furseth, looking a tad mature for a nine-year-old, but pulling it off), whose direction is lost, despite the fact she likes to guide all the action, with one of those annoying scene clapper boards. Allie Ann’s nanny has quit and as she is needing some guidance, namely a babysitter, in steps Flo and Jolene to the rescue, while Ryan, Jennifer and Buck head out into the woods to hunt down the mare. Meanwhile, Melody, who is lacking passion in her own life, also goes into the woods with a mickey full of something strong and her cute, young bandmate Gilmour (Daniel Maslany, playing a tiny keyboard and singing like an angel). Left to their own devices, the girls decide to make their own ghost story and also venture out into the woods. That’s where things get exciting. Marshmallows are devoured, cellular phone connections are lost, kisses are stolen, shirts are torn off (don’t worry, this is a family show – my kids loved it!) and a mysterious white horse and its rider – lit in ghostly fashion – follows all those in their path. Despite some of the darker themes that lurk beneath the surface, The Night’s Mare is a lively, fun romp. It will have you laughing and in awe when Endo makes his final bow. With the fitting set of a worn-out farm house facade (designed by James “Jimbo” Insell), the disassembling of which is a cool thing to witness during intermission, the cast and musicians all do an immeasurable job with the material in front of them. The characters and songs will stay with you as you travel through the darkness to wherever home may be. The Night’s Mare continues at Caravan Farm Theatre to Aug. 23. Shows run nightly at 7:30 p.m. (except Mondays) and tickets can be ordered at the Ticket Seller, 250-5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Enjoy the sweet sounds of Sorella Morning Star Staff
Valley First Music in the Park presents local group Sorella at Armstrong’s Memorial Park Friday. An old world name meaning sister, Sorella features vocalist-musicians Julie Armitage, Ellie Young, Diana Ward, and Wendy Aronyk, whose stage presence is described as lively and filled with humour. “Watching them is like sharing an evening with your best friends. It’s familiar and fun,” reads a release from the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, which hosts Music in the Park. “Gravitating towards the positive and with sparkling eyes, the women sing about the stuff that we all go through, reminding you of the love that is all around. Their songs are healing and deep, light and happy, mellow and bittersweet. “Through their music you will reconnect and remember gratitude for the good things in life. These women will make you smile. Ready, easy melodies beckon you and the a cappella harmonies feel like home.” Sorella takes the stage at the Lions Gazebo at Memorial Park Friday at 7 p.m. The concert is free, however, donations of non-perishable foods will be accepted for Valley First’s Feed the Valley program. Bring a blanket, chair, and a picnic. After their Music in the Park appearance, Sorella heads a little further east to Cherryville to perform at the Roots and Beets festival, taking place on the grounds of the Cherryville Artisans Shop, behind Frank’s The

HEALTH TIP KYLE BREWER
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
One of the ways that antibiotics like penicillin kill bacteria is by attacking the cell wall of the infecting organism eliminating its ability to divide and multiply. The cell walls are like an outer kin that holds the bacteria together. Because our human cells don’t have cell walls, so they aren’t affected by the antibiotic. If you have diabetes, pay particular attention to your teeth and gums. If your diabetes is not controlled well, your saliva may contain more sugar which is food for bacteria that form that sticky film called plaque. Keep your blood sugar in check. Floss your teeth at least once daily and brush often with a soft toothbrush. Levothyroxine is one of the top-ten prescribed drugs in Canada. It replaces what your own thyroid is not producing. The best time to take it is one hour before breakfast but this is sometimes difficult to do all the time. The key is to be consistent and take it the same time whatever that may be. Since thyroid levels are based on blood tests, the dose can be changed according to suit how you take it. Poison ivy: Even though the rash is not contagious, it can look terrible and be quite uncomfortable. Having had poison ivy before does not confer immunity. Protect yourself by wearing protective clothing like gloves, long sleeved shirts and long pants. If you do get exposed to it, wash it off with soap and water right away.

New superhero crawls to the top
S
Antman:
cott Lang (Paul Rudd) is trying to set his life right after getting out of jail for a burglary where he gave bank customers back the profits made by a closing bank. He has a daughter who doesn’t know him and a straight life to begin. Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), a wealthy industrialist, needs someone to burgle his own invention, a suit that shrinks the wearer down to Taylor and Howe the size of an ant. When Pym finds Lang, he gets more than he bargained for, a superhero named Antman. We say, “The pieces fit, the colony thrives, the ants go marching on.” TAYLOR: I suspected I was going to like this movie: It’s a fun character, it’s the introductory chapter, it has every reason to be light and fun rather than heavy and serious. It also has a Paul Rudd, who while being a perfectly capable actor, is known for his comedic performances. I was not disappointed. All the pieces fit: It was full of fun characters, exciting situations in strange, new environments, the insects’ point of view and 3D. It also didn’t waste too much time explaining their science or smoochy B-stories. Just the ants, ma’am. HOWE: I, on the other hand, suspected I wasn’t going to enjoy this movie. I thought the concept of a superhero the size of an ant was, well, just silly. I am happy to say I was wrong and wrong big time. I haven’t enjoyed an action movie like this for a long time. Most of the last few comic book to big screen conversions have been pretty dark. This, on the other hand, is

Paul Rudd show off his insect magnetism as Antman. light and fluffy. This may go down as one of my favourite comic book movies, just slightly behind Batman. I took my just-turned eight-year-old son Fenin to this. Let’s see what he thought... FENIN: I loved it, Dad. I thought it was very funny when he pressed the buttons on his suit and it made him tiny. He had all these little ants that helped him. It’s not as good as Thor but I really enjoyed it. It made me laugh and it wasn’t very sad. Yellow Jacket was a really good bad guy. TAYLOR: There’s a bit of light swearing, one kiss, plenty of punching and throwing, nothing gross or too rude. I think a mature six year old could handle it, maybe not fully understand it, but enjoy it. Antman’s sidekicks, if they can be called that, led by a very funny Michael Peña, are three goofball criminals trying to help him

pull of this caper with no cape. They’re a little more grown up, but kids will find them harmless. It’s comic book done right, on the light side. Everyone should enjoy Antman, regardless of your age. Movie of the summer, so far. HOWE: The chase scenes were exciting and the fight sequences were not that violent, which is good for the younger audience. The 3D was well done and the shrinking of Lang to the size of an ant didn’t look ridiculous. For example, when Antman was zooming around on the back of his flying ant, it felt like you were flying around with him, like on a roller-coaster ride. I can’t wait for the sequel. – Taylor gives Antman 4.5 spaces between particles out of 5. – Fenin gives it 4 ants out of 5. – Howe gives it 4.5 ant transmitters out of 5. Restaurants. Recipes.

A.J. Kitt, an Alpine skier who won one World Cup downhill race, said, “You have no control over what the other guy does. You only have control over what you do.” That has been the theme of this week’s deals. One defender has the chance to control what happens. In this last example, how should East-West card to defeat three hearts by South after West leads the spade ace? In bidding, one is told not to rebid a five-card suit on the second round, but West’s spades certainly look like a six-carder. And three clubs is short on appeal with such
a poor suit. North was right to rebid three, not four, hearts. South was a passed hand and rated to have only a five-card suit because he had not opened with a weak two-bid. West leads the spade ace: five, nine, seven. How should West continue? The defenders need five tricks. East’s spade nine must be from a singleton or a doubleton. If so, West can cash three spade winners and have the heart ace in the background. But where is the fifth trick? East is unlikely to have a club winner. West’s best hope for success is gaining a diamond ruff. At trick two (or three), West should shift to his diamond.
Declarer will probably win in his hand and lead a low heart, but West rushes in with the ace, cashes the spade king (if he led his diamond at trick two), then leads the spade 10 (or jack). East will ruff the trick and return a diamond. West’s ruff is the fifth defensive trick.

ERNA REDLICH We regret to announce the passing of Erna Redlich in Polson Care Centre on July 21, 2015, at the age of 89 years. Erna was born to Herman and Mathilda Weidman in Biggar, Saskatchewan, the fifth of six children, on September 3, 1925. In 1934 she moved with her family to the Vernon area, where she continued to live for most of her life. During those years, she worked at various jobs while also raising her son Dale, born in 1947. In the early seventies her health and the health of her mother resulted in Erna staying at home to look after the house and Mathilda. After the house on East Hill was sold in 1990, she lived in two different condos, and eventually in the Assisted Living section of Heron Grove. Erna enjoyed visits with her friends and family, and often had a piece of her famous apple pie to offer them with coffee. She was predeceased by her father and mother, brothers, Edward and Ron, and sister Rosie. She will be sadly missed by her sister Ida, son Dale and his wife Lorraine, grand-daughter Alexis and her husband Adrien Sikora, and great-grand-daughters Kierra and Lily, as well as many nephews and nieces. A special thanks to her niece Donna who visited and helped Erna in recent years. A memorial service will be held at Peace Lutheran Church at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, July 26. Interment will be at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery on Tuesday, July 28, at 11:30. Memorial donations may be made to Peace Lutheran Church, 1204 30 Avenue, Vernon BC V1T 1Z5, or to the Good Samaritan Society Fund Development Dept., 8861-75 St. N.W., Edmonton, AB T6C 9Z9.

Kirsten Ilse Foster May 19, 1916 – July 11, 2015
Mom passed away peacefully at Hospice House after having fallen and broken her hip 5 weeks earlier. Recently, Ilse celebrated her 99th birthday with her children on the dock at Secret Cove where she enjoyed a beer and strawberry shortcake decorated with tiny Danish flags. In the distance was Thormanby Island where the family has spent many happy summers. Born in Copenhagen, Ilse immigrated to Canada, when she was thirteen. She attended Point Grey High School and then UBC where she played basketball for the UBC Thunderbirds! In 1940, she married Jim Butler. They rowed to Gambier Island for a camping honeymoon. Derek, their son, was still a little boy when Jim was killed during WW2. In 1949 Ilse married Jack Foster, and they had two daughters, Susan and Gillian. Ilse and Jack “pioneered” in West Vancouver until their retirement to Saltspring in 1975. Mom had a beautiful sense of style, our home was furnished with simple but beautiful things and our daily diet included granola, wheat-germ, kale, lecithin and brewer’s yeast years before it became fashionable. On Saltspring she rekindled her love of tennis and golf and played into her eighties. Through sheer determination and hard work, she created a beautiful garden around the house they built on Dogwood Lane. Predeceased by Jack in 1991, Ilse was blessed to have yet another beautiful partner in Percy Dewar, with whom she lived in the bush on a mountaintop for several years before they both returned to Saltspring. No matter which mate, Mom was always solidly on their team, gamely rowing, sailing, hiking, playing bridge, golfing, building houses, milking goats, etc. Mom had several very happy years at Meadowbrook Assisted Living in Ganges, before moving to Vernon to live with her daughter Susan, and husband, Jim Chartrand. Her 5 years in Vernon were made happy by Susan and Jim and all their friends who then became Ilse’s friends. At 98, Mom was up dancing at a Summer Solstice party; right to the end she never wanted to miss out on any fun. She was always fiercely independent and determined. In Vernon Mom very much enjoyed going to “Daybreak” and “Minds in Motion”. The family is also very appreciative of the care and friendship provided by Lisa Santos, Michelle Dallyn, Michelle Rozka, the very caring Dr. Arnold, and staff at Vernon Hospice. Left behind to mourn (and marvel) are her children, Derek (Joan), Susan (Jim), Gillian (Rick), grandchildren Jennifer, Leanne, Tyler, Kaelen, Bronwyn, and Evan, and 5 great grandchildren. Knowing the end was near, Ilse said with a smile “Well I won’t make it to 100, but I think 99 is good enough! A Celebration of Life to be held August 29th 1:30PM at the Chartrands. 4-55 Kalamalka Lakeview Drive. Contributions in memory of Ilse may be made to North Okanagan Hospice Society.

June 21, 1975 to July 5, 2015 It is with deep sadness and tremendous sorrow that we have to announce the sudden passing of our son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend, Judd Taylor. Judd was born in Maple Ridge BC on June 21, 1975. He had just celebrated his 40th birthday. Judd died in Red Deer AB on July 5, 2015. Whether you knew Judd well or if you had only met him once, you knew he was a one-of-a-kind man. There will never be another person with more potential in the world! He was seen as the person who “had it all”. Judd will be lovingly remembered by his good looks, his sparkling blue eyes, his deep voice, his sense of humour, his energy, his sense of style, how smart he was, his contagious laugh, his kind, loving, caring and charismatic personality. There was nothing that Judd couldn’t do; from plumbing to mechanics to fixing computers to building a house. If Judd wanted something, Judd found a way to get it. His determination was admirable. Judd did everything to the extreme. There was no middle ground. Judd would have given you the shirt off his back, no questions asked. Everyone who met him, had a soft heart for him. He was truly a beautiful person inside and out. Judd is survived by his mourning family: his mother Idella Meier (Ken), his father Ruben Taylor (Josie), his sister Sharmay Taylor, his son Stuart Taylor Kremler, his niece Phoenix Taylor, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends as well as his 95-year-old grandmother May Taylor (Marcel). Judd was predeceased by his grandfather Reuben, grandfather Samuel, grandmother Jean, uncle Allyn, his best buddy Chewie, as well as several friends. A celebration of life will be held on September 5, 2015 at 2:00pm at the Desert Cove Rec Centre. If able, please bring an appetizer to share. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donating to an educational/trust fund for his son. A donation box will be available at the celebration of life or donations can be made online at youcaring.com and search for “Judd Taylor”.

Chase project begins Morning Star Staff
A major road in the region is undergoing upgrades, The federal government is providing $18.3 million and $76.1 million in provincial funding is going towards the expansion of the TransCanada Highway from Hoffman’s Bluff to Chase Creek. Located west of Chase, the project will expand a 7.5-kilometre section of Highway 1 from two lanes to four lanes, and ties into the 16 kilometres of four-laning improvements currently completed or under way between Monte Creek and Hoffman’s Bluff. “These projects on the Trans-Canada Highway have a firm foundation in partnerships, and today we have the funding in place to continue this upgrade all the way to Chase,” said Todd Stone, B.C. transportation minister. “Through this work, we are improving the quality of life for British Columbians by providing better, safer connections between communities.”
