Record-long campaign adds pressure RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
One of Canada’s longest election campaigns could be underway. It’s anticipated that Prime Minister Stephen Harper will have Parliament dissolved today, kicking off a 78-day campaign before the Oct. 19 federal election. “It’s kind of interesting,” said Colin Mayes, retiring Okanagan-Shuswap MP. Under law, campaigns must be a minimum of 37 days long, but there is no maximum length. The longest was 74 days in 1926. If the writ is dropped today, Mayes admits candidates will

be under a lot of pressure over 78 days. “The candidates will have to pace themselves,” he said. “But in August, people are on vacation and not paying attention to politics. There will be a more intensified cam-
paign at the end of September and early October.” There has been some suggestion that a longer campaign favours the ruling Conservatives because it has significant money in the war chest compared to the other parties. However, Mayes disagrees. “There are maximum amounts that you can spend,” he said. “Once the campaign starts, third-party advertising is limited and that may help our party so we’re fighting the established parties and not special interest groups.” In Okanagan-Shuswap, the candidates are Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz, Green Chris George and Jacqui Gingras, with the NDP.

Sun-seekers urged to shade their eyes JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff
hen it comes to protecting ourselves from the sun, especially here in the Okanagan, there’s one aspect that is often overlooked. Our eyes. While most of us recognize the importance of sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, many don’t realize that the strain that we put on our eyes with overexposure to UV rays has been linked to a variety of eye problems. As a result, optometrists across B.C., including Vernon, are urging everyone to protect their peepers. “On average Vernon has over 1,900 hours of sunshine in a year exposing us to higher UV radiation and damage from UV rays,” said Amanda Farley, a Vernonbased doctor of optometry. “We also have many outdoor enthusiasts in Vernon who spend time biking, swimming and skiing increasing exposure to harmful UV rays.” While staying out of the sun or wearing a hat are good ways to avoid overexposure, sunglasses are equally necessary. “Both the sun and water reflect UV rays upwards and increase the amount of exposure to harmful UV radiation,” said Farley, noting that rays also reflect off sand and snow. “Wearing sunglasses is one of the best ways to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.” And it should start early. “Most UV damage in life happens before the age of 18 when the eye is immature and the harmful rays can penetrate deeper,” she said. Many eye diseases have been linked to UV damage, from mild annoyances to sight threatening or blinding conditions. The most common eye problems linked to damage by UV rays which Farley sees in her practice include cataracts, pinguecula, dry eyes and macular degeneration. “By protecting the eyes from

Andrea Killingbeck has her eyes examined by Dr. Amanda Farley at Vernon Optometry. The local optometrist is urging residents to make sure they protect their eyes on these sunny Okanagan days. harmful UV rays with sunglasses and hats, many sight-threatening diseases can be prevented,” said Farley. One of the most widespread problems is cataracts, which are a result of the internal lens of the eye being damaged by UV light. “Luckily, cataracts can be removed surgically and the vision restored. Conditions such as macular degeneration that causes a loss of central vision from damage to the retina of the eye are more permanent and the results can be devastating with most people eventually going blind from the disease,” said Farley. When it comes to protecting
our eyes, Canadians are fortunate as the government regulates that all sunglasses sold in Canada must be 100 per cent UV protected. Therefore, the myth that cheap sunglasses don’t protect your eyes from UV rays is not true. “However, there is a difference in the quality of vision and protection between inexpensive sunglasses that are not properly fit and those that are fit and sold by a professional,” said Farley, as sunglasses that are not properly fit to the face allow UV rays to get around the lens and into your eyes. “I would also caution anyone purchasing sunglasses from outside of North America or online to
ensure their sunglasses conform to UV protection standards.” Wearing sunglasses and hats or staying out of the sun all help to protect the eyes but equally important are regular eye examinations to identify risks factors and any damage that has already occurred, Farley reminds residents. “This is especially important for children as their immature eyes let more harmful UV rays through.” Those who tan are also reminded that their eyelids are not enough to stop the harmful UV rays from causing damage to the eye. “The best way to protect your
eyes from UV rays while tanning is sunglasses or specialized glasses offered in tanning facilities.”

Marina expansion draws fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Plans to expand a marina on Kalamalka Lake are generating considerable debate. Oyama’s Tween Lakes Resort has applied to the provincial government to construct two docks with 66-slips. A future phase two would lead to a third dock with 16 boat slips. “We want to replace our existing slip, which is in poor shape,” said Ed Thiessen, Tween Lakes dock committee chairperson. “We want to meet the needs.” The resort had 40 slips until one dock was removed. While the provincial government considers the proposal, the District of Lake Country is suggesting it be denied because of proximity to a water intake. “I have had some concerns from residents. In Oyama, we are feeling the effect of boats on Wood and Kal lakes,” said Owen Dickie, Lake Country councillor. “We should look at a load study to see how many boats should be on the lakes.” The Tween Lakes plan will be discussed at Coldstream council’s committee of the whole meeting Tuesday.

“It looks like a viable project from an environmental standpoint.” — Ed Thiessen
“We want to look at it a little more closely,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick. “There is the issue of water quality in Kal Lake. The water flows to the north in the lake.” Louise Christie, with the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake, points out that Kalamalka Lake is a main water source for much of Greater Vernon. “Another 82 boats on
the lake, we don’t need that,” she said. However, Thiessen insists Tween Lakes has done its due diligence and the marina will generate little impact on the surroundings. “It looks like a viable project from an environmental standpoint,” he said. A consultant working for Tween Lakes look at the project and the potential impact on fish habitat.
“Existing habitat information and date, including observations made by an experienced aquatic biologist, indicate that the shoreline and lake bottom within the dock replacement location, provides poor habitat conditions for kokanee and does not support habitat for critical life stages such as spawning or rearing,” states the Tetra Tech EBA report. It’s not known when the provincial government may make a decision on the application, however, Tween Lakes hopes to proceed with the marina in early spring.

Vernon’s mayor says the Ministry of Transportation’s once firm stance over Stickle Road may be easing. The ministry has asked to meet with Akbal Mund this week and the strong public opposition to a proposed T intersection on Highway 97. “We can obviously continue to discuss Stickle Road and what solutions we can come up with,” said Mund. The ministry is proposing to construct 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 turnaround access for the Silver Star RV Park area and the ministry would eliminate highway crossmovements and left-hand turns from the RV park. Anyone turning left from Stickle on to the highway would not be able to use the 27th Street exit. When asked about public opposition last week, Murray Tekano, the ministry’s senior project director, stated, “We’ve been explaining why a signal
“Hopefully they (ministry) will listen.” — Akbal Mund
won’t work. It’s something we can’t do.” But the ministry was inundated with complaints about the proposal during a public open house Wednesday and calls for a traffic signal at Stickle. “I stayed a long time there and I had two people come up to me who like the proposal and everyone else is opposed,” said Mund. “Hopefully they (ministry) will listen.” Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, has suggested that the Stickle Road plan may have to be reviewed given public concerns, and he will raise the issue with Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

The funnest, foamiest festival around is moving on. The 5K Foam Fest, which made its first west coast appearance at Silver Star Mountain Resort in June, has chosen another location for its 2016 return to B.C. The festival, which made stops across Canada, was a mas-
sive success and highly popular. While it will once again kick off the tour in B.C. in 2016, this time it is moving to Sun Peaks Resort, near Kamloops. “We just decided to go in a different direction this year,” said Mel Kurtin, with 365 Sports, the company which owns and operates 5K Foam Fest. “No hard feelings at
Silver Star. It was a great sold out event.” Next year’s event at Sun Peaks is June 18. “Yes, we are disappointed that Foam Fest is not returning in summer 2016 but are confident we’ll partner with the event organizers on other exciting events in the future,” said Anne Haight, Silver Star Mountain Resort’s director of sales and

Put me in that section
t wasn’t all that long ago that people could smoke in elevators and in movie theaters. They smoked in restaurants, on buses and in doctors’ waiting rooms. Unless you were under an oxygen tent, you could even smoke in hospitals. Even then, people under oxygen tents used to sneak cigarettes, which usually had a bad, but not entirely unexpected, outcome. Now you can’t even smoke in the hospital parking lot, much less the hospital itself. Some prisons have banned smoking on death row — not so much for the prisoners’ benefit, but for the guards’. There used to be smoking sections on airplanes. Jim Mullen Now the entire terminal is smoke-free. Unless your plane is on fire. Taking a vacation to a distant land is now a good first step to quitting cigarettes: A nice, long, 10-hour, non-smoking flight to the Balkans ought to break anyone’s smoking habit. Of course, when you arrive, you’ll find out that everyone there smokes. In the U.S., smoking has been banned almost everywhere. But other things that are just as annoying as secondhand cigarette smoke have not been banned. Children running around like crazy in restaurants, for one — why hasn’t that been banned? There was a big story recently about a restaurant owner who told a child to be quiet after 40 minutes of crying. Some people thought the owner was out of line. I think her mistake was letting the child in her restaurant in the first place. Why are people taking babies and toddlers to restaurants? I think I was 18 the first time I ever ate in a sit-down, grown-up restaurant. If you can afford to go to a restaurant, you can
VILLAGE IDIOT
afford a babysitter. Why is it that if the kid was smoking, the owner could kick him out, but if he was only screaming and annoying all the other paying customers, she couldn’t? Who made up that rule? Oh, yeah: the parents of screaming babies. Just once I’d like to walk into a restaurant and have them ask me if I’d like to sit in the screaming, out-of-control children section or the child-free section. You see signs on convenience stores all the time that say “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” It’s not the law, it’s just a good idea. I think we could use more “good idea” signs. In addition to all the signs that say “We Check ID” when customers want to buy alcohol or cigarettes, there should be a sign that says, “We Check Your Weight” when customers want to buy sausages, bacon, potato chips or ice cream. “Must weigh under 300 pounds.” If we can have smoke-free restaurants, why not combover-free restaurants? How many meals have been spoiled by having to look at some guy with three little bits of yard-long hair wrapped across his bald spot while you’re trying to eat? Why can’t we have a cellphone section and a non-cellphone section? Or, they should ask me if I want to sit in the section where the server is not allowed to tell me their name and that they’ll be my server tonight. I won’t remember their name, and usually they don’t end up being my server anyway. But I see some restaurants are starting to offer special sections. Why, only last week, one place told me that their “Five per cent tip section” was full, and they would have to seat me in the “20 per cent” section. I couldn’t tell the difference, except that for the first time, I had the same server for the entire meal. I can’t for the life of me figure out why more restaurants don’t do that. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
While you are reading the newspaper this morning, it’s likely that federal politicians have already hit the hustings. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was expected today to dissolve Parliament, triggering an election although Canadians won’t head to the polls until the fixed date of Oct. 19. Now this is somewhat surprising given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign. The question then is why is Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and backyard barbecues and aren’t interested in what happens in Ottawa? The answer isn’t particularly clear but obviously Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks. But there is also a danger in launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue. Increasingly, Canadians are tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics — attack, attack, attack, with very few concrete solutions to major issues coming to the table. After 78 days of negative ads from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise. What will that do to voter turnout?

MP's column generates response
n response to Colin Mayes' report on protecting Canada's water and fisheries, he said polluters pay. Enbridge paid $1.21 billion for the Kalamazoo spill, according to the Michigan attorney general. Would Enbridge be forced to pay that here? I doubt it. There is no amount of money that can repair the damage that a large oil spill causes in a waterway. A successful oil recovery in the northern waters is three to six per cent on a good day. The northern waters are fast and not easily accessible unlike the quiet waters of the Kalamazoo. Harper's omnibus bill gutted the environmental assessment act, got rid of habitat protection out of the fisheries act, takes the navigable water act out of law and reduces protected
STICKLE ROAD I am a frequent user of many of the businesses along the frontage road that intersects with Stickle Road and I am glad to see some action is being considered to mitigate the risk associated with the intersection to Highway 97. What is annoying is the continual obstacles being presented by the Ministry of Transportation to the wishes of the businesses along the frontage road and the citizens' request for a traffic light. In the July 17 edition of The Morning Star, there is an article by Richard Rolke about the Stickle Road intersection as it relates to the taxpayers and residents of Vernon's request for a traffic light at the intersection as opposed to, so far, a couple of different and supposedly safer solutions from the Ministry of Transportation safety engineers. There is also unanimous support from the mayor and city councillors for the traffic light. The logic presented by the engineers as reported in the article is somewhat perplexing to me as there are already two such traffic light-controlled intersections on Highway 97 in the immediate area. The first being at Smith Drive in Armstrong and another in Coldstream at College Way. At both of these intersections, the speed limit as you approach them is 90 kilometres per hour and returns to 90 kilometres in the case of College Way and actually to 100 kilometres per hour at Smith Drive once you are past them. Also of interest is the fact that within half-akilometre of the Stickle intersection southbound, there already exists a warning caution to the ramp over the 27th Street exit to reduce speed to 70 kilometres, albeit a lighting vision caution.
waters from 2.5 million to 150. Also, he reduced the environmental assessments from 3,000 to 4,000 a year to 12 to 15 per year. The Nexen spill in northern Alberta, with a new double-wall pipe, does not ensure its safety. The delayed Vancouver harbour oil spill recovery was inadequate because of cutbacks to the Coast Guard. A few years ago, I told my Edmonton Conservative MP that I finished the Sue Channel in Kitimat and that channel is deep. If something wrong should happen in that channel, there is no way it can be recovered. His reply was, "good." I feel the Conservative promises are just lip service considering it is an election year. Larry Seminoff The rationale that the safety issue as presented at these two intersections with the highway and the Stickle intersection being different is at best ludicrous. Quoting Rolke's article, "The traffic engineers say a light won't help there," said MLA Eric Foster. "The ministry insists a signal would negatively impact traffic flow and thousands of cars go through there every day." I'm not sure what science supports these statements and I have no data to support the following either but if I was a betting man I would bet that a highly significant portion of those thousands of cars daily also pass through the Smith Drive and College Way intersections on Highway 97. I guess when the ministry, in its infinite wisdom, decided to install the lights at Smith Drive and College Way, the objective was to negatively impact the traffic flow and safety. No that can't be right. Any reasonably sensible person can see that's totally illogical. The lack of continuity in the rationale and logic in the ministry's position to Stickle in light of the already existing two intersections is puzzling. It makes one wonder if this is not a budgetary issue. Whatever the real reason that the ministry so strongly opposes the wishes of the public and Vernon's elected officials, its objective should be to find a solution that meets the needs of the taxpayers, not do everything in its power to thwart that request. The days of government bureaucracies giving the public whatever answers to questions raised to their actions being accepted as carte blanche are or should be over.
Taxpayers are entitled to well analyzed, rationale and logical answers supported by documented scientific data and examples of similar solutions used when available. Not, the traffic engineers simply saying a light won't help. Duane Mather NO LIGHT NEEDED MLA Eric Foster, I wanted to let you know that as a Vernon resident and taxpayer, I fully support the Ministry of Transportation's position that a red light at Stickle Road should be avoided at all costs. Highway 97 is now a high-speed, through road and I fear that a red light in this location would lead to an increased risk of high-speed collisions and red light crashes from frustrated, long-distance drivers. There has been a very vocal campaign by the handful of businesses at this location for a red light, supported by The Morning Star, whose reporting on the issue has been entirely onesided. I visit there regularly and the intersection does not see much traffic using Stickle Road. I always return to Vernon on Pleasant Valley Road, which is a good road. It takes four to five minutes to drive back to the intersection of 48th Avenue and Highway 97 by that route. Hardly a big deal. The ministry is correct and reasonable in its recommendations. I’m all for road safety and the intersection needs changes as southbound left-turns are assuredly dangerous, but this is simply silly. Please stick to your guns on this issue. Ritchie Leslie

rules but they don’t.” As part of stage one, automatic timer irrigation may only operate from midnight to 6 a.m. The city insists it is doing nothing wrong. “The city is compliant with all regional district restrictions,” sad Tanya Laing Gahr, communications coordinator. “Prior to stage one restrictions being initiated, we laid down new sod and (grass) seed and under stage one, you are allowed to water during the day.” Laing Gahr says the sod has now rooted and there is no longer a need to water during the day at MacDonald Park. Some public concerns have also arisen about irrigation at the DND grounds and Marshall Field, but
ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR
Concerns have been raised about sprinklers irrigating MacDonald Park during afternoon hours. Laing Gahr says treated waste water is used in both of those locations. “It’s great for irrigation and because it’s not potable, we don’t have to follow those (GVW) restrictions.” Under stage one regulations, 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 • Manual sprinklers (moved by hand) may be used between the hours of 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and mid-
night. • Drip irrigation may operate between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. (could previously run anytime under normal restrictions) • Customers using a watering can or hose with a spring-loaded nozzle may hand water anytime

Fires spark ban reminder JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The potential for a small Spallumcheen blaze to spread, along with a couple illegal burns last week, has caution being spread to all residents. A r m s t r o n g Spallumcheen firefighters couldn’t save a small pump house that caught fire Thursday evening. “It was totally destroyed when we got there,” said fire chief Ian Cummings. The fire broke out at approximately 6 p.m. Thursday in the 1500 block of Pleasant Valley Road. The blaze is not deemed suspicious. “It was pretty visible from the area, even our members could see the big plume of smoke on their way out.” Although they could not save the structure, firefighters did stop the blaze from spreading. “The potential was there,” said Cummings. “There was lots of shrubs and grass in the area.” The potential for disaster was also avoided with two illegal
“It’s extremely frustrating.” — Ian Cummings
burns last Sunday. “It’s extremely frustrating this time of year,” said Cummings. “One was a garbage pile and another was a burn barrel right in the middle of tall grass.” Fines were issued in
both cases. The fine for a first offence is $200, but can be even larger if the fire were to spread. “It’s the potential that’s the worst part. They could be charged with whatever costs
to extinguish the fire,” said Cummings, noting also insurance costs if any structures were destroyed. “They could be looking at jail time and some hefty fines.” Those caught burning usually plead ignorance, said Cummings. “Even with the little bit of rain we had (last weekend) people think that’s enough. But it’s going to take a lot more than that (to lift the burning ban).”

Locals hitting baseball hotspot TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
A trio of Vernon baseball teens from different teams are heading into the baseball hotbed of the world for the Latin American Baseball Classic. Landon Currie, Jacob Holland and Chase Batchelor are off to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which has cranked out baseball studs such as Pedro Martínez, Felipe Alou and Rafael Soriano. Currie and Holland both attended the tourney last year. “Last year it went really good,” said Currie. “We went in thinking we were going to get killed and we finished fourth.” The 10-team tournament has existed for 32 years with teams from the Dominican, the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Last year was the first year they accepted a Canadian team. The Canadian team is comprised of players from B.C. and Alberta. Currie is really looking forward to the tournament following a less than stellar season with the Canadians in his first midget AAA season. “I found the wood bats to be a big adjustment. This is a good way to finish up the season,” said the centre fielder, pitcher and catcher. Currie recalls the best part of last year’s trip was getting to play on the Major League affiliated fields after playing two games on the run-down city ones. His favourite player is also from Santo Domingo in David Ortiz. “It’s cool playing in the same area all the MLB guys come from,” said Currie, who played on the U14 team last year and will play for the U16 squad this time.
TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR
Landon Currie (from left), Chase Batchelor and Jacob Holland are Vernon baseball products that will wear Team Canada jerseys at the Latin American Baseball Classic in the Dominican Republic. Currie’s friend, Holland, went to the Dominican as a 15-year-old last summer and played with the U18 team because they needed another catcher. This time around, he will suit up with Currie on the U16 team. Holland experienced a pretty big culture shock last summer. “It was so different than what we have here. We take a lot of things for granted,” said Holland, whose favourite player is also a catcher, Yadier Molina. “It was humbling seeing young kids playing baseball with a stick and rocks.”
Playing for the West Kelowna D-B acks, Holland’s highlight of the season was crushing a few triples and hosing attempted base stealers. He knows a bit about the business of the game too. He knows that Dominican players can be signed to a professional contract once they turn 16, so he is looking forward to playing against potential professional ball players. “It’s just great to play against guys in another part of the world,” said Holland. The trio takes off on
Tuesday, and after a few connecting flights and 10 hours in the air, teams will only have one practice together before the fun starts. They will play four round robin games with the top two teams in each division advancing to the semifinals. Following last year’s tournament, the coaches and organizers of the teams asked around for players to bring on this year’s trip. Batchelor just finished a strong season with the bantam AAA Canadians and was recommended for the
U14 team. The sting is still lingering for Batchelor who turned 14 six days before they head south. Batchelor and his Canadians held a 2-0 in the zone final, when they allowed six runs in the last inning, missing a chance to head to provincials. “It was disappointing for sure, but this trip should make up for it,” said Batchelor. Batchelor stands 5-foot8 and his favourite position is catcher, but he enjoys being a utility man. The LABC will be a good
tune up for Batchelor as he is heading to Steinbach, Man. for the Western Canadian Championships with the Okanagan Athletics a week after they return. Like other players on the team, he is looking forward to seeing where all these MLB players come from, including his favourite player, Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays. “I am a little nervous going down there. I’ve only travelled to Tacoma (Wash.) for baseball this year,” said Batchelor. “Once we start playing games again, I should be fine.”

National gold for lacrosse ladies ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff Amy Fox has completed her collection of colourful lacrosse medals. The Armstrong Pleasant Valley Secondary Grade 11 student won gold with Team B.C. in the Midget age group at the Canadian Female Lacrosse championships in Calgary. The gold adds to the bronze Fox won last year when she played up a division with Team B.C. in the Junior group, and a silver she won two years ago as a member of the provincial Bantam squad. “It’s so amazing winning gold,” said Fox, 16. “I was on the floor in the final minute of the championship game (4-3 win over Alberta), then was on the bench nervously watching the clock tick down. “When the final buzzer went, we all pretty much ran out of the bench and freaked out.” B.C. was the class of the Midget field, going undefeated in seven games, which included double round-robin wins over Ontario,
Nova Scotia and Alberta. Fox collected 12 assists in seven games. “The competition was very intense,” said Fox, who received sponsorship from Pat Nelson at Nelson’s Glass in Armstrong. “Normally our top competition is Ontario but we ended up playing Alberta in the final and they gave us a tough game.” A runner with the North Okanagan Legends A2 Midget squad in the regular season, Fox earned her spot on the provincial Midget girls team by going through a tryout process in Langley. There were 44 girls vying for 18 runner spots and two goalie positions. “It was such a great experience. We were like a family,” said Fox, who plans to take the rest of the summer off. “I spent all of July at the coast and we practised every day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,” laughed Fox. “But it was definitely worth it.” Joining Fox as a national champion is Vernon’s Kiana Point, who was a member of undefeated B.C. Junior Girls squad in Calgary.
Like the Midgets, Point and the B.C. Juniors defeated Ontario, Nova Scotia and Alberta twice each in the double roundrobin, then won gold with a 6-4 decision over Ontario in the final. “It’s almost unreal, the experience was amazing and I couldn’t be happier,” said Point, entering Grade 12 at Seaton Secondary. Point, who played as a runner with the North Okanagan Super 8 Midget B2 Legends in the regular season, scored her only tournament goal in an 11-5 preliminary round win over Nova Scotia. She finished her first national tournament with a goal and four assists. “The competition was all very close,” said Point. “All of the teams were really good. We wanted to make sure we didn’t go into any game overconfident.” Like Fox, Point traveled to Langley for tryouts. She will take a few weeks off before returning to the coast to tryout for the provincial girls team that will compete at the national aboriginal box lacrosse champi-

Popkum Motorsports, companies based out of Chilliwack. “I played an extra year of minor because I love the game and I want to be around it.”
Tiremen double up Beer Badgers Morning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire FC got back to their winning ways Thursday. The squad travelled to the Little Mountain sports field with 13 players and played their fourth-string goalie, and came away with a 4-2 decision over the Salmon Arm Beer Badgers in Kelowna Mens 35+ Soccer League action. The tiremen (14-12) opened the scoring when Glenn Allan had the ball and made a couple of moves, then found Rodney Goodchild who used his ‘Okanagan Spirits’ to curl the ball past the Salmon Arm keeper. The Badgers (4-111) replied a few minutes
later on a corner kick that found a Salmon Arm forward’s head to tuck it in on the back post by the – follow this – backup to the backup to the backup Kal Tire keeper, Jason Beck. The Vernon squad came back with a goal from Jesse Knight, from Ryan Sharp. Bryan Schenker and Darren Nobrega scored in the second half for Kal Tire, which received solid defense from Sharp, Johnson, Dave Dobernigg and Pedro Garro that really limited the action Beck saw. n Vernon Silver Stars kicked Kelowna’s North Country Appraisals Kickers 7-0 in a battle of two teams tied for third place in the Okanagan
Oldtimers 55+ Soccer League in Kelowna Thursday. Brian Eso and Liverpool-loaner Phil McNally each supplied hat tricks for the Stars with Paul McCardle adding the seventh marker. Ray Tims recorded the shutout. The Stars improve to 9-5-0, while the Kickers drop to 7-4-3. In Lake Country, Vernon Kal Tire blanked the host Beasley FC 2-0 at Reiswig Park. Terry Lowe opened the scoring in the 56th minute with a quick turn and rifled a low shot to the far corner. Denis Chabot drew an assist. Mark DeVolder added the insurance
for the tiremen (7-5-2) one minute from time, with Ken Rath and Jim Sparrow setting up the marker. Beasley’s strikerturned keeper Fred
Laurisen was fabulous with a handful of diving saves. Subway Man of the Match for Kal Tire was defender Paul Goodgrove.

Sistas edge shorthanded Four squad Morning Star Staff
The Fantastic Four could have used four more fantastic players. As it was, the pink-clad Four fielded nine and put up a valiant effort before falling 3-1 to a full-squad OTC/Sunterra Sistas in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Div. 2 action Thursday night in the heat at Marshall Field. The Sistas opened the scoring midway through the opening half when Diane Neudorf carried the ball up the wing, crossing a pass to Andrea Zubot, who fed a through ball to Deanna Baker who beat Fantastic keeper Taylor Weixl with a hard shot just out of her reach.
In the second half, Fantastic Four was rewarded for all their hard work on the field, tying it up with a blast from Weixl outside the 18. Sistas keeper Wendy Nadeau got an A+ for effort as she got her foot on it. However, the ball kept right on going into the back of the net. Baker, confirming her full recovery after a lengthy foot injury, collected Amanda Gaythorpe’s cross in the 18 and belted it past Fantastic’s secondhalf keeper Kris Ponto to get her second of the night. Neudorf received a ball from Amy Fitchett, then worked it down the right wing, shooting high and hard for net. Ponto got her hand on it, deflecting it to
the crossbar, then ricocheting off Ponto’s back into the goal. Sistas defenders Becky Birbilis and Michelle Mulholland set the tone by making purposeful calm passing plays, both to keep the orange girls out of trouble and to start up several offensive attacks. Arm and Hammer player of the game Gaythorpe had a strong game in midfield as she out-muscled and outmaneuvered the opposition, starting several offensive chances and setting up goals. For the Fantastic Four, Weixl and Ponto were terrific in goal. Sylvie Richard worked the middle as stopper/sweeper/center
all at once, with Richelle Seguin supporting that huge midfield as well. Great game by Ruth Delisle at fullback with many great runs and challenges on Sistas forwards, keeping them outside and away from the net. Said Ponto: “It was terrific work by all nine ladies – hard to play with no subs in the heat, never mind shorthanded.” Both teams said it was a good game called by referee Cole Shumaker. Vernon Kal Tire FC got back to their winning ways Thursday. No score was reported from the other game between the Green Rockets and Sir Winston’s Attack.

‘50s. Within the year Ebbel became manager and then the owner of a fish and chips store and the family settled in Orangeville, Ont. Ebbel and Maureen continued to work together throughout their restaurant years. During this time their youngest child, Fiona, was born. Ebbel and Maureen continued their business ventures by moving on to Guelph, another fish and chips store, then to Burlington, and leaving the restaurant business.
Ebbel now joined the Idomo Furniture chain as manager of several stores. Maureen, now no longer able to work in the family business, soon joined a daycare centre of more than 100 children to become their cook. In 1994 Ebbel and Maureen, now emptynesters, once again packed up their belongings and moved from Ontario to B.C., settling in Vernon, close to their oldest daughter and family. Ebbel and Maureen, now both retired, still keep busy

Ebbel and Maureen Kampen: married Aug. 5, 1955. with all kinds of activities, especially those related to their local church. Life, as it is wont to do, had its ups and downs, but through it all they trusted their Heavenly Father who has faithfully provided for them and their family. In their 60 years of marriage they have been blessed with four
Parents are at odds
ear Annie: Our daughter recently became engaged and we couldn’t be happier. She is our only child and is marrying a great guy. While we are excited about all of the planning for the big event, it appears that the groom’s mother, “Dolores,” is trying to take control. For nearly every detail that my daughter and I agree upon, Dolores steps in and wants to make changes. While I appreciate her enthusiasm, is this the way that things are supposed to be? She is putting my daughter in the middle and Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar making the situation terribly uncomfortable, especially since the groom is in the military and the wedding won’t take place for another 18 months. I’m not sure how long this can go on before we have words. My husband and I have given the bridal couple what we considered to be a generous budget, but Dolores keeps offering to pay for any additional expenses so she can make it be the day she wants. While we can afford to give our daughter more money for the wedding, we would like them to spend wisely for this one-day celebration. Dolores has already married off a daughter. I’m only going to be the mother of the bride once in my life. Is it too much to ask that this day belong to me? How do I keep peace with my daughter and make this the day that we have dreamed of without constant conflict with her mother-in-law? — Once in My Life
McCulloch Court
Dear Once: These days, the bride’s family doesn’t get to control every aspect of the wedding. Grooms also get a say. And many families split the costs right down the middle, giving each an equal voice in the planning. This day does not belong to you. Your daughter is the one who decides how to handle her future mother-in-law and what compromises she is willing to make. For your sake, as well as hers, please take one step back and be as gracious and accommodating as possible. It’s a good lesson to teach your daughter. It may not be the wedding you dreamed of, but it could ease the way for your daughter to have the marriage she wants and a better relationship with her in-laws. Isn’t that what counts? Dear Annie: I want to publicly thank my husband’s ex-wife for being a dear and special person. For the first 10 years of my marriage, I experienced the animosity that many ex-wives inflict on the new wife (and vice versa). Then I extended an olive branch, and we both put away our resentful and angry feelings and found out we had a lot in common, in addition to the man we both had married. We “grew up,” and our relationship flourished over the next 15 years as we shared birthdays, graduations, marriage, a grandchild, holidays at each other’s homes, even family vacations. We recognized that jealousy and hate only destroy one’s self, and that harmony brings peace and contentment to the soul. It’s a wonderful feeling to have such a treasured friend. — Truly Grateful Friend Dear Grateful: We love this. Please make a copy to show your husband’s ex-wife. It will make her day.

“It is with gratitude and praise to God our Heavenly Father that we announce the 60th wedding anniversary of our dear parents, Ebbel and Maureen Kampen.” Ebbel and Maureen were married Aug. 5, 1955 in the small village of Haulerwijk (the Netherlands) where both of them grew up and their love for each other blossomed. Upon marriage they immediately moved to Amsterdam where Ebbel became manager of a grocery store. During their time in Amsterdam two of their children, Yolanda and Eric, were born. In 1959 they moved to Sneek, Friesland, and became the proud owners of their own grocery store, working side by side building it up and serving the community. Another daughter, Sylvia, was born during their years in Sneek. In 1970 Ebbel and Maureen moved to Canada, following Ebbel’s family who had moved there in the

Artsy Amsterdam awaits IRENE BUTLER Special To The Morning Star
NETHERLANDS - “The old buildings alongside the canals are built leaning forward with hooks near the roofline”, says an audio-voice. “Years ago when the city used to flood, goods had to be hoisted by pulley to the upper window, the tilt ensured the cable and product would not hit the facade.” My husband Rick and I are cruising along one of the many canals radiating out from central Amsterdam like silky blue ribbons joined with solid stitches of bridges to the tapestry of land. Captain Frank is adept at maneuvering our Blue Boat past breathtaking scenery while we listen to more tidbits about this historic city. Then, it’s off the boat and onward to Central Station where we catch a bus to Zaanse Schans for, as Rick reasons, “You can’t visit Holland without seeing the old windmills!” Arriving at a village setting of stilthouses, small shops and factories, we are time-warped back to the 17th and 18th centuries. The scent of chocolate lies heavy in the air from the area’s many chocolate factories – and right inside Zaanse Museum is one that has been operating for 100 years. Willy Wonka has nothing over the Verkade Chocolate and Biscuit Factory. Wheels and rollers turn cocoa beans into thick creamy bars and rounds of dough into crispy delights. We do justice to the sample bar and purchase a stash for later. Then it’s out to the sizable grounds of the complex — and there they are. The slow rotation of large wooden arms
power machines in the factories below – a saw mill, paint mill, and spice mill. Investigating the latter, we see huge stone grinders pulverising spices. Another small factory carves out wooden shoes or “klompen” (now mostly for sale to tourists). The museum section displays styles through the ages, ones for work and ones for Sunday best. My opinion of them being clumsy dissolves on seeing the staff move around in them with quick ease, a soft “klomp” at each step. Seeing a mini-factory churning out cheese next to a bakeshop translates into purchases for our scrumptious picnic lunch. Back in Amsterdam we enter Anne Frank Huis (House) where this young Jewish girl wrote her diaries. A secret bookshelf opens to the annex where Anne, her mother, father, sister, plus four others hid from the Nazis during the Second World War – being in these hidden rooms is a haunting and moving experience. Art and Amsterdam are synonymous! The Van Gogh Museum boasts the world’s largest collection of this postimpressionist’s soulful work. We follow Vincent Van Gogh’s life in brush strokes, through sombre depictions of his Netherlands homeland, to his time in France celebrated in brilliant colour—and his friendship with Paul Gauguin. Another day, it is the Rijksmuseum with over 8,000 works of art. On the second level we find paintings by Johannes Vermeer that uncannily resemble photography - except this Dutch artist lived 350 years ago, which is 150 years before cameras were invented. Theories have evolved on how he achieved this. All we can say is Vermeer’s
paintings are indeed photo realistic. We next seek out Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch” and absorb his style of enhancing the most important persons and items in the painting with light. For more of this renowned artist we visit the Rembrandt House Museum (Museum het Rembrandthuis), where he spent 20 before declaring bankruptcy. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) made a good income from his work – his problem was extravagance and mismanagement of funds. A heart-stopper is the large attic room where he produced many of his masterpieces. A large easel is positioned in the exact place where Rembrandt worked to catch the best light. His paint pots are nearby. A fireplace wards off the chill of a winter’s day. In this room the aura of this great man is overwhelming. I will always remember “Erwtensoep” as the pea soup that saved our marriage. Leaving Rembrandt House I am raring to push onto another site – but know I’ve taxed Rick’s regular feeding time when he stops abruptly and growls, “Irene, I don’t care where we go next, as long as it serves food!” At the small cafe called Rembrandt Corner, we dive into soup so thick with peas, carrots, onions, and bacon that our spoons could stand upright, plus highoctane cappuccinos – and the site-seeing resumes. The magical quality of Amsterdam’s canals and lovely countryside, coupled with its rich culture and fascinating history won our hearts. We look forward to someday seeing more of what has been called “a very big small country”. Irene Butler is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Kioti dealer earns top honour Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Timberstar Tractor has received 5-Paw certification from Kioti Tractor, one of 61 dealerships in North America to receive this honour in 2014. The certification is part of the Kioti 5-Paw Dealer Excellence Program, which was created to recognize dealerships that deliver outstanding overall performance. Each year Kioti dealers across the continent are evaluated against qualifications in regards to service, sales, operations and parts. Dealers who meet or exceed these qualifications are named KIOTI 5-Paw Dealers and earn the ability to display Kioti’s

Timberstar Tractor in Vernon is among 61 Kioti Tractor dealerships in North America to receive 5-Paw certification. 5-Paw logo at their business. “Kioti strives to deliver
high-quality products with exceptional customer service
to every Kioti customer,” said Peter Dong-Kyun Kim, president of Daedong-USA, Kioti Tractor Division. “The efforts of Timberstar Tractor to exceed the standards of 5-Paw certification makes them invaluable to the Kioti brand. Our program honours these dealerships to let them know that they are a valued member of the Kioti family.” The Kioti 5-Paw Dealer Excellence Program was initiated in 2008 to recognize exemplary dealerships and provide benefits to those dealers as a reward for their achievement. Each year, a select number of dealerships in the Kioti network receive this certification.
The loonie’s swoon is prompting more B.C. residents to rethink plans to vacation in the U.S., according to a new poll. The Insights West online survey found 57 per cent of B.C. respondents said they’re more likely to vacation in this province and 53 per cent said they’ll make fewer trips to the U.S. than usual. Seventeen per cent said they have already cancelled a planned trip to the U.S. Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said the declining Canadian dollar has either a significant or medium effect on their travel plans SFU business professor Lindsay Meredith said he’s not surprised by the trend of Canadians staying home and said he expects more Americans will come north as they realize their greenback goes farther here. “Tourism is the big winner out of this, no question about it,” Meredith said. “The big losers are the Canadian consumers.” The dollar dove after the Bank of Canada cut its interest rate in response to sagging economic growth, which also prompted a recalculation that the federal government is actually heading for a $1-billion deficit this year, rather than a budget surplus. Meredith suggested the weaker dollar may aid federal government re-election hopes by propping up eastern Canadian export industries, but will be counterproductive to the economy elsewhere, because average families will have less money to spend as prices of U.S. goods climb. “It adds more gas to the fire because the imports are much more expensive, so you’ve just shorted the Canadian pay cheque again,” he said. It will become a “double whammy” when the U.S. federal reserve increases its interest rates, widening the spread against the cost of borrowing in Canada, and giving currency markets another reason to dump the loonie for the greenback. “That will mean more devastation for the loonie,” Meredith said. “My prediction is we’ll go to 70 cents.”

FRUSTRATED WITH LOOSE DENTURES?
Estheticians are in demand Morning Star Staff
She’s only 19, but Heidi Luken’s esthetics career has taken off. A month before graduating from Okanagan College’s esthetics and nail technology certificate program, Luken was hired by Ten Spot Beauty Bar, a trendy Toronto franchise that recently opened its first B.C. location in West Kelowna. “I’ve had multiple job offers and I only graduated. I’m able to negotiate my wage,” said Luken. “With the amount of knowledge you have, employers want you.” In the past four years, nearly all of the college’s esthetics students have found work in the field before graduating. Instructor Candice Timm takes calls from employers across B.C., as far north as the Yukon and from the eastern provinces, looking for fully qualified estheticians trained beyond manicures and pedicures to include skin and body treatments such as massage. The spa industry is growing in the Okanagan Valley, Timm says. A Canadian Tourism Commission report predicted strong growth in the spa sector - an average annual rate of 17 per cent. The Spa Association of Canada reported the industry’s tremendous growth was reflected not only in the number of spas, but the diversity of spas and therapies available. Okanagan residents interested in an esthetics career can attend an information session Tuesday in Vernon and Wednesday in Kelowna to find out more about the Okanagan College program, which is accepting applications for September. “It’s not so much about creaming and steaming anymore. The industry is more wellness-based,” said Timm. “The public is becoming more aware of the benefits of health and wellness and de-stressing.”
“With the amount of knowledge you have, employers want you.” — Heidi Luken
Timm, a registered massage therapist, clinical esthetician and nail technician, is the main instructor at the college’s spa training centre in Vernon, which is open to the public for appointments from October to June. She says the college’s partnership with Dermalogica is among the reasons why employers value the esthetics certificate, which includes an extra 200 to 300 hours of training over other programs. “We include everything from artificial nail treatment to body treatment, including massage, exfoliation and body wraps, which are not usually included in a regular esthetics program,” said Timm. “The feedback we get from employers is they’re thrilled with the level of professionalism and knowledge our students have.” For Luken, who originally planned to study law, helping people look and feel great is satisfying. She says the college’s reputation, amazing instructors and professional spa training facilities made her studies worth it. “I love what I’m doing. I like to be around people,” said Luken. “I feel like I can do anything I want to.” Okanagan College esthetics and nail technology information nights will be held Tuesday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Vernon campus (E212) and Wednesday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Kelowna campus (E103).

New rules for wineries, breweries in B.C. Morning Star Staff
Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce. Imagine avoiding those embarrassing moments by securing or replacing your dentures with DENTAL IMPLANTS. Call 250-558-4222 today for a consultation
Dr. Sean Bicknell BSc(Dent), DMD Pleasant Valley Dental 2301-32nd Avenue, Vernon Find out more at www.pleasantvalleydental.ca
Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces – a glass of B.C. wine was off limits – and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape. Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review. But there will be a limit – a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on local offerings. “We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne
Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses. Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other. The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol. Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

Local MLA stands behind cabinet shuffle RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Peter Fassbender is no longer B.C.’s education minister but Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA Eric Foster insists that isn’t a sign of dissatisfaction. Premier Christy Clark shuffled her cabinet Thursday, shifting Fassbender from education to community development, and naming backbench MLA Mike Bernier to the education portfolio. When asked if Fassbender was moved because of recent conflicts with teachers, Foster stated, “absolutely not.” “He’s a hero in our room for the way he handled the B.C. Teachers Federation and the work stoppage,” said Foster. Beyond community development, Fassbender is now responsible for the Lower Mainland’s TransLink program. As a former Langley mayor, he was heavily involved in TransLink. Bernier is a former Dawson Creek mayor and a first-term MLA for Peace River South. “Mike is a good guy, hard working and a diplomat and he will be able to steer that for awhile,” said Foster of the challenging education ministry. Lisa Laboucane, Vernon Teachers Association president, is not impressed with Bernier’s appointment. “We always hope to see an education minister that has some knowledge or firsthand experience of our school system but once again, that hasn’t happened,” she said.
BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
Peter Fassbender has been moved from his position as education minister, and replaced by Mike Bernier. “We have to ask, why would Bernier, a LNG expert and advocate, be chosen as the education minister? It’s a confusing move from Christy Clark.” The B.C. Teachers Federation says it will reach out to Bernier to establish a working relationship on key issues like the curriculum redesign for kindergarten to Grade 12. “We look forward to meeting Minister Bernier and getting him up to speed on the significant challenges-like underfunding, class composition, and the lack of specialist teachers- that are impacting our schools and students,” said Jim Iker, BCTF president, in a release. Coralee Oakes has gone from community development to small business and red tape reduction while Naomi Yamamoto is minister of state for emergency preparedness. “The changes are about making sure
British Columbians in every region benefit from our plan to create jobs by growing our strong and diverse economy,” said Clark. The removal of TransLink from Transportation Minister
Todd Stone’s portfolio comes in the wake of the defeat by Metro Vancouver voters of a plebiscite on the creation of a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to fund transit expansion. Fassbender, a Surrey
MLA, has extensive history on the TransLink file. He once chaired the Metro mayors’ council as it tried to persuade the province to grant a new revenue source. Stone as minister Classic made statements supportive of the mayors’ Gambling plan and the new tax Getaways but did not actively campaign for it during the plebiscite required by Clark on any new tax. Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore welcomed Fassbender’s new role. Classic Gambling “It think it’s a Getaways good move, ” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. “He has a deep understanding of the legislation and not only the challenges but also the opportunities of being able to work together to find solutions for TransLink.” Jordan Sturdy is now parliamentary secretary for energy literacy and
the environment under Environment Minister Mary Polak – Bernier’s previous post. He’ll also chair the province’s Climate Leadership Panel. “We have the opportunity now to build on a record of student achievement with longterm labour peace in place, to strengthen our support for small business, which is the
backbone of our economy, to work together with communities to prepare for the future, and to put in place a plan to prevent and manage emergencies or natural disasters so that our province can recover with our future secured,” Clark said in a news release. – with files from Black Press reporter Jeff Nagel

Water safety encouraged Morning Star Staff
St. John Ambulance is urging B.C. and Yukon residents to take water safety seriously. Canadians love spending time in the water, whether in a lake, river, pool, or the ocean. Unfortunately, waterrelated fatalities account for hundreds of deaths in Canada each year. Drowning is the third highest cause of accidental death in Canada, and the second highest cause of preventable death for children 10 and under. St. John Ambulance has compiled some tips to keep your summer enjoyable and safe – no matter what your go-to water-related activity may be. Understand rip currents Rip currents are one of the most dangerous hazards for beach-goers, as they can drag you out to sea. You can recognize these water channels by their deeper colour, the movement of debris or seaweed, and fewer breaking waves than in surrounding areas. If you do get caught in a rip current, stay calm. Swim at a horizon-
tal angle to the beach, not directly against the current, and once you’re out, swim back to the shore at a diagonal. Look out for each other Lifeguards see a lot, but they can’t see everything. Look after your friends and family when they dive in for a swim, and know what to look for when someone needs help. For starters, their head may appear low and partly submerged, eyes may be closed or glassy, legs may be kicking but they’re making no headway, and their hair might be covering their eyes. Swim safely Be aware of your swimming abilities
and of where, how, and when it’s safe to swim. If you feel your swimming could be improved, take swimming lessons. Know your physical limits and be aware of fatigue, medical conditions, and hydration levels before getting into the water. Don’t swim while intoxicated, avoid swimming when it’s dark, and stay in sight of the lifeguard. Read the signs This goes for both beach safety signage and environmental signs. Take a look around you. Does the weather look safe for a swim or a boat outing? Lightning and water do not mix, especially when you’re caught
in the middle. Higher winds can also mean rougher wave conditions, so check your weather station beforehand. Also keep an eye out for hazard signs on the beach itself, such as warnings for sudden drop-offs, dangerous marine life, and strong currents. Watch children at all times Backyard pools are, in fact, one of the most likely places for children under five years old to drown. Even water less than one-metre deep can pose a threat for kids with limited swimming abilities, so make sure they do not wind up near the pool by accident.

The provincial government has unveiled a new medal recognizing good citizenship. long-term service, have made outstanding contributions to the well-being of their communities without expectation of remuneration or reward. The medal reflects their generosity, service, acts of selflessness, and outstanding contribution to community life. “The design of the medal was carefully considered and includes important elements that hold historical, geographical and cultural significance for British Columbia,” said Teresa Wat, minister of international trade.
“This medal will honour our most community-minded citizens: the people working in nonprofits, volunteering their free time and continuously striving to make their community a better place.” The province relies on citizens to recommend individuals for recognition throughout the province. There is no age limit. Nominators are encouraged to identify inspiring youth in their community who have gone above and beyond in their contribution to society.

The provincial government is celebrating B.C. Day by unveiling its new Medal of Good Citizenship. The medal features B.C.’s shield, floral emblem and the words, ‘Generosity, Service and Selflessness’. British Columbians are now urged to consider good citizens making a difference in their communities and nominate them for this new honour. The front of the Medal of Good Citizenship features the shield of the province. On the back, a stylized version of B.C.’s floral emblem, the Pacific dogwood, and the words, ‘Generosity, Service and Selflessness’ are engraved to honour the kindness and generous acts of recipients. “This year and going forward, good citizens whose actions are making a difference in their communities will have the opportunity to be officially recognized by the province,” said Shirley Bond, selection committee chairperson and jobs minister. “The B.C. Day long weekend is the perfect time for British Columbians to think about those people in their communities who exemplify good citizenship with acts of generosity and service and consider nominating them for this provincial medal.” Nominations for the medal close Sept. 25, and details on how to nominate individuals can be found at: www.gov.bc.ca/ medalofgoodcitizenship The Medal of Good Citizenship will recognize individuals who, through exceptional

Water advisory downgraded
1-844-263-0002
www.andoverterrace.ca
Morning Star Staff
The District of Lake Country has downgraded the recent boil water notice back to a water quality advisory for the Beaver Lake source. Recent testing and monitoring has shown water quality has improved and disinfection (chlorine) levels have recovered. Interior Health recommends that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems and anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice. For these at-risk populations, water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. Turbidity (water clarity) fluctuates on the Beaver Lake source, according to the municipality. Turbidity is a measure of how clear or cloudy the water is and NTU is the unit it is measured in. Particles can interfere with the disinfection process and may reduce chlorines effectiveness. Health risks increase as turbidity rises, particularly for at-risk populations such as newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
Each year, the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan gives away $ half a million dollars to support a wide range of community needs. Support from the Community Foundation goes in two ways: • Grants go out each Fall from endowment funds where the donor has specified a charity or group of charities as beneficiaries, • Grants go out each Spring to charitable groups who have applied to the Foundation’s annual Community Grants cycle. The “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” aims to grow our endowment to $17 million by 2017. Our unique approach to philanthropy involves investing pooled donor gifts to create a perpetual source of income for charities. To find out how YOU can contribute to our “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” – call Leanne at 250.542.8655 or check us out at www.CFNO.org

Local melons are ready for picking Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist
Summer! We finally can buy some local produce and fruits in some grocery stores, but for a real abundance and choice, visit the farmers’ markets and local family farm outlets, as they are getting more abundant and colourful each week. The seasons are magical to me, and already this summer we’re smelling peaches, corn, peppers and melons Yes, melons, the underdogs of summer: bulky and thick-skinned, their beauty lies within. Most of the time, melons are simply cut and eaten, unadorned. Watermelon most of all. Melons are 90 per cent water and so offer more relief in the heat than other fruits like peaches or berries. Today’s recipes are a bit more sophisticated than cut, slice and eat, but still easy and fun. Enjoy some melon this week. Summer Melon Salad 2 cups each of watermelon, cantaloupe, and galia melon (again, use your faves.) in approx. 1/2-inch dice 1/2 cup of English cucumber, finely diced 2 medium radishes, finely diced 2 tablespoons of fresh mint, minced 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar (or rice, champagne, lemon juice, etc.) 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Kirsch Optional: 3/4 tbsp. very, very finely chopped jalapeno Chop all of your ingredients and place them in a bowl large enough that you’ll be able to toss them easily. You can change to a pretty bowl later! Add the rest of your ingredients, and gently toss to mix well. Gently! Chill until ready to serve. Now this will yield some juice. If you’re serving it by itself, just use a slotted spoon, or pour some of the juice off before service. If you use this over lettuces, you might want to use the juice to toss the lettuces with as a dressing. Melon and Watermelon Millefeuille with Cream Puff pastry - 3-4 sheets, frozen Watermelon: 1 thick slice
1/2 galia or honeydew melon 1/2 cantaloupe melon Cream: 200 ml, well-chilled, at least 30% fat Vanilla sugar, 2-3 Tbsp., depending on taste Quark (cottage or farmers cheese) 50 g to 100 g, low-fat Icing sugar Lay the puff pastry sheets side by side to thaw. Then lay on top of each other and roll out to a thickness of 4 mm. Cut out 8-12 circles approximately 8 cm in diameter. Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, leaving a little space between them. Brush the pastry with ice-cold water and put into a preheated oven (220 degrees C). Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown, then take out of the oven and cool on a cake rack. Using a melon baller scoop out balls from each piece of melon and arrange on half of the pastry circles. Whip the cream with the vanilla sugar until very stiff and fold into the cheese. Put the mixture into a piping bag with a plain nozzle and pipe over and between the melon balls. Put the remaining pastry circles on top, dust with icing sugar and serve immediately. Burmese Gin Thoke Melon Salad ½ small seedless watermelon (2 ½ pounds) ½ ripe cantaloupe melon (1 ½ pounds) ¼ ripe honeydew melon (1 pound) 2 (3-inch) pieces young ginger, peeled and minced (1/3 cup); or 2 (3-inch) pieces of regular fresh ginger, peeled and minced (1/3 cup) ¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted ¼ cup lime juice (from 3-4 limes) ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar 1 ¾ teaspoons kosher salt 1 cup dried green lentils and 4 cups water 2 cups wide-flake unsweetened coconut 1 ¼ cups raw blanched peanuts 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, chopped Start by cutting up the melons: Trim off the rind of all 3
melons, remove any seeds, and cut the flesh in to ½- inch dice. Put all of the diced melon in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the ginger, sesame seeds, lime juice, soy sauce, ¼ cup of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Mix well and pour over the melon. Toss, and let marinate at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the salad. Put lentils and 4 cups cold water in small saucepan set over high heat, and bring to boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Add 1 tsp. of the salt and cook 5 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain, rinse with cold water to chill, then stir into melon mixture. Combine the coconut, peanuts, kaffir lime, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar, remaining ¼ cup olive oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a large sauté pan. Toast the peanut mixture over medium-low heat, stirring it constantly, until the coconut and peanuts have toasted, somewhat unevenly, to a golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Just before serving, add the peanut mixture to the melon mixture and stir gently to combine. Serve in a large bowl, preferably at room temperature. Summer Melon Jelly Dessert 1 x 85g package strawberry and raspberry quick-set jelly crystals 1-1/2 cups boiling water 1/2 cup dessert wine 1 cup seedless watermelon, rind removed, coarsely chopped 1 cup canteloupe, deseeded, peeled, coarsely chopped 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves 4 scoops berry sorbet, to serve Place the jelly crystals in a heatproof jug. Pour over the water and stir until the jelly dissolves. Stir in the wine. Pour the jelly mixture into a 27 x 9 cm (base measurement) loaf pan. Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until set. Combine the watermelon and canteloupe in a large bowl. Turn the jelly out onto a chopping board. Cut into pieces. Divide the melon mixture and jelly among serving bowls. Top with the mint and berry sorbet. Serve immediately.

I
Home is always home
visited my hometown of Strathroy, Ont. this spring and it had been several years since I was there. This time I reconnected with friends. I had lunch with one I hadn’t seen since Grade 13, another I spent the afternoon with walking our old neighborhood and then driving around checking out new developments and the cemetery where my dad is buried. It was a great venture down memory lane connecting with these dear friends, revisiting experiences and learning about people who had been part of my life. Dinner was spent with four friends and we did the same. I stayed the night at an old pal’s and then had lunch the next day with my Grade 7 besty. The area I grew up in was small enough to feel safe and offer the comfort of familiar faces, and large enough to provide great recreation and good schools. At different times in my life connecting with my hometown has been really important to me. As a young woman I left after high school and moved to London, 40 minutes away, to go to university and then the gypsy life began of Fort McMurray, London, Los Angeles, Toronto, a tour of the states then Key West,
then Grand Bend, Banff, London, and the past 26 years here in Vernon. During the years, I have visited Strathroy at different times to ground myself in my home town and seek out the company of those who knew me as a young person with big dreams. My mom left shortly after I moved and none of my siblings stayed there although my younger brother lives close by and he keeps me informed of local gossip: the successes and triumphs of friends and their families, who married whom, had kids, or sadly who died. I knew as a young person I would not
stay there. I felt the call of the wild west early since at 15 I had spent a summer in Invermere, B.C. working at Jessie’s Pancake house and a motel my brother managed. After that experience I knew BC or Alberta was where Michele Blais I wanted to be, not for the amazing job opportunities, but for the natural beauty. Having two of my hometown dinner companions visit me this past week and learning about their lives since high school has been fantastic: to know them as the women they have become. Our friendship began in Grade 4 when we moved off the
The Way I see IT
farm, and we remained friends throughout our school years. It was fun to remember this and that experience and our perceptions of these, learning about people I have not really thought about for 40 years yet were an important part of my formative years. Falling in to step so easily with each other is even better and having them spend a weekend with my friends now was fun and easy. Strathroy is my home town and I say that proudly. It provided a warm nest for me to grow, to face challenges and see them through. I am a resilient person and a strong family life, and caring community contributed to that. Vernon is my son’s home town and I suspect that one of them
will never live here again although he visits often and I suspect his path will be similar to his mother’s gypsy life. The other will venture here and there and perhaps this will be his long-term community. They too were raised in a great place that offered opportunities, support and a safety net for which we are grateful. Our home towns: love them or hate them, they are your history. I think I hear Bruce Springsteen singing in my head.

It’s the little chorus that could...and did Hooked on Harmony was the theme and the Kalamalka Chorus harmonized to a standing ovation at a recent convention and competition
Contributed
After months of intense preparation and rehearsals, 12 members of Vernon Kalamalka Chorus, with interim director Joey Minshall, travelled to Surrey in May to the Sweet Adelines International Region 26 (all-Canadian region) annual Convention and Competition. This year’s theme was “Hooked On Harmony” and involved quartets and choruses from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Performing in the category Open Division, VKC was required to present a 10-minute package of songs — complete with emceeing — before a panel of internationallytrained judges. The results were outstanding and they were awarded scores higher than any of their previous appearances. They moved their audience to tears, sounding more like 40 singers on stage with their big sound, and received a thunderous, spontaneous, standing ovation! As they came offstage into the audience, the ovation continued, and comments such as “genuine”, “heartwarming,” “magical”, “wanted it to go on and on,” greeted them. However, the most meaningful was “huge congrats to you (director Joey) and your ‘mighty dozen’....the amazing women of VKC.’ The Mighty Dozen are now taking a well-earned break until Aug. 19, when they will resume rehearsals at the Halina Centre. This year marks Vernon Kalamalka Chorus’s 35th anniversary of singing a cappella, barbershop-style in the

Members of the Vernon Kalamalka Chorus of Sweet Adelines perform at the recent Sweet Adelines International competition. North Okanagan. They enjoy performing and contributing to their community. They are planning to host a Valley Inter-Chapter gathering in September, and preparations are going forward for a special 35th anniversary celebration as a Chapter of Sweet Adelines International.
VKC’s biggest priority at present is actively pursuing a search for a director who would love to continue the journey with us. If you know of anyone in, or moving to Vernon or the Okanagan area who might be searching for just such an opportunity to become involved in our art form, please let us know, or contact Margaret by e-mail at mamasangbass@
Pac-Man lives: not for long
n 1982, Brenner (Adam Sandler) and his team of video game whizz kids, Cooper (Kevin James) and Ludlow (Josh Gad) made it to the video game national championship, but lost to Eddie Plant (Peter Dinklage). As part of the championship celebrations, a special film was produced about video games and that year’s contest. That film was subsequently launched into space by NASA. More than 30 years later, Brenner works for Nerd Corps installing technology, Ludlow is a paranoid conspiracy theorist and Cooper is the President of the United States, when an alien armada arrives at planet Earth, having misinterpreted their old promotional video from 1982 as a declaration of war. The aliens attack, using these antiquated video game Taylor and Howe forms as weapons. We say, “Kevin James is the President of the United States...” TAYLOR: Much more needn’t be said. HOWE: Oh dear, oh dear. Another Sandler nose-plant into the dirt. I had high hopes for Pixels, mainly because his last few movies have been pretty terrible. I didn’t think the poor run could continue. Well, I was wrong. The concept of the film is cool and the animations of the games coming to life are pretty spectacular. But just like with the new gaming consoles, when games boot up, showing the opening scenes, they look flawless, then it switches over to the game itself, which is a little blocky, not as smooth. Pixels is a letdown, like video games that promise more than they deliver. TAYLOR: There were some fun moments and I did enjoy some video game nostalgia, as well as some of their digital fakery, but it feels like everyone involved in the

Uh-oh, I feel a furious rant of exclamatory sentences coming on... Sony makes another flop. Sony owns Columbia Pictures now? Bye Columbia, nice knowing ya. Adam Sandler makes another mediocre movie with other TV stars. Fantastic! It cost enough to feed thousands of people for years. Great! It sucks. Right! Funny? No. Not even if you’re 12? Maybe a bit. Worth watching? Well, there are enough funny and cool things in Pixels to fill a five- minute sketch on Saturday Night Live. The video game effects look interesting, for glowing cubes, but they don’t do anything. Pac-Man chomps, Donkey

Kong hurls barrels. TV stars run around and make lame jokes. For the money, time, talent and concept they had, Pixels fizzles out: A perfectly boring waste. HOWE: Pixels isn’t funny, it’s not even fun. The only thing it had going for it was the nostalgia aspect. I have a solution and it’s pretty cheap. Take a short road trip to Scandia and play some of the old arcades there, you can get a lot more entertainment out of your dollar than with a Sandler/James movie. TAYLOR: Go see Antman, it’s way more fun. — Howe gives Pixels 1 asteroid out of 5. — Taylor gives it 1 triangular spaceship out of 5.

HEALTH TIP MARCIA BELEY
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
As we age, our skin changes. It gets thinner, bruises easier and can become quite dry. To slow down skin aging, sun sensibly, don’t smoke and keep hydrated. The type of toothbrush you use is not as important and HOW you use it. Some people prefer the electric toothbrush because some have a timer that forces brushing for at least 30 seconds per quadrant. Others prefer the manual brush which can be fine if it’s used properly. It’s important to get the brush close to the gums to remove all the plaque from the gum line. When you start on a blood pressure-reducing pill for the first time, you may experience light-headedness, extra urination or fatigue. Don’t stop taking the drug. Side effects do lessen with time so stick to it. Many drug products have moved from “prescription only” to “over the counter”. It wasn’t that long ago you could not buy ibuprofen (for pain and inflammation) or ranitidine (for heartburn) without a prescription. But just because they don’t need a prescription, you should get some professional advice before using them. Our pharmacists can supply that information. Our pharmacists’ principal role is not “counting pills” as so many TV stories about pharmacists show. It’s education. We spend the majority of our day talking to doctors and nurses and of course, you, our customers. We enjoy that job. Let our knowledge increase your knowledge about medications.

Sons ride in for kids Black Press
The Sons of Anarchy are coming to Kelowna. A couple of stars from the hit television series are making an appearance at Konquer Motorcycles in Kelowna for the Kids Care charity fundraiser on Aug. 15, from 6 to 11 p.m. Making an appearance will be Kim Coates, who appeared in 95 episodes as the character Alex ‘Tig’ Trager, and Theo Rossi, in 93 episodes as Juan Carlos ‘Juice’ Ortiz. The motorcycle dealership, located at 892 McCurdy Pl., will host a meet and greet with the two SOA stars. Sons of Anarchy was an American
crime drama television series created by Kurt Sutter, about the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club operating in Charming, a fictional town in California’s Central Valley. Tig was the sexually deviant, prone-to-violence Sergeant-at-Arms of the club when the series begins while ‘Juice’ is the club’s hacker and intelligence officer. Some 350 tickets will be sold for the event, which will include a Sons Of Anarchy T-shirt, poster, catered sit-down dinner by Routes Grille, live local band Rumble 100, and a chance to meet both actors. There will also be a cash bar making it 19-plus event. Tickets are $125/ person.

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.
Kids need the nonfiction experience. Children need to become familiar with a variety of genres, so newspaper reading will add to their reading repertoire and mix things up a bit.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder OPENER BIDS AT ONCE WITH A CUTE MINIMUM Saul Gorn, a pioneer in computer and information science who died in 1992, once quipped, “Having lost sight of our goal, we must redouble our efforts.” This week, we have been making an effort to study responder’s redouble after the opener has bid one of a suit and the next player has made a takeout double. This redouble promises at least 10 high-card points. On the second round, if the opener bids immediately, he announces a minimum or subminimum distributional opening bid - as in today’s deal. When South bid two hearts, he described his hand well. (With a stronger
hand, he would have passed first, then bid on the next round.) North, with a super double fit, jumped to five hearts to say that he wanted to be in a slam, but that he had (at least) two immediate diamond losers. South’s six-diamond control-bid (cue-bid) announced a firstround control in that suit. North went for all 13 tricks. Yes, there’s nothing like bidding while looking at all of the cards! After West leads a trump, how should South keep sight of his goal, the number of tricks he needs to make the contract? Declarer has six side-suit tricks (five spades and one club), so must score seven trump tricks. He wins the first trick in the dummy,
ruffs a diamond high in his hand, crosses to dummy with a trump, ruffs another diamond, plays a spade to dummy, trumps a third diamond, leads a club to the ace, draws West’s remaining hearts, discarding his last two clubs, and claims. It is a wonderful dummy reversal.

Irene Lenora Nahm (nee Clark)
It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Irene Lenora Nahm on July 26th, 2015, due to heart failure. Irene “Rene” was born on July 1st, 1937 in Edmonton, Alberta, where she spent her early childhood. She moved with her family to Kelowna, British Columbia in 1949. It was here that her passion for horses was sparked, and many days were spent taking lessons and riding throughout the Kelowna area. After graduating from high school, Irene moved to Kamloops to study nursing at Royal Inland Hospital. In 1957, Irene married the love of her life, Gerry. This year they would have celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. Together they spent their years living in the North Okanagan where they raised their three children. Irene served as President of the Vernon and District Riding Club, volunteered her time to Hospice care, Girl Guides, and the North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association, and was involved alongside Gerry with the North Okanagan Vintage Car Club. Those who knew Irene will remember her as a compassionate soul and caregiver to all, be they two or four-legged. Witty, intelligent and well read, she had a propensity for puzzles and logic. She is survived by her husband Gerry, brother Harvey (Penny), brother-in-law Tilman, aunt Phyllis, children Cathryn (Klaus), Kevin (Sue), and Wendy (Tom), and grandchildren (Nicole, Jeannine, Brue, Brianne, Jordan and Jarret). A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association (NOTRA). NOTRA provides therapeutic horseback riding for children and adults with special needs. Donations can be made online through the NOTRA website (www.notra.info) or by mail: North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association 9380 Highway 97N (Vernon) Box 58, Armstrong, BC V0E 1B0.

POLICHEK, Dorothy Margaret (nee: Pritchard) 1925 ~ 2015 It is with heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of Dorothy Margaret Polichek, with her family by her side, on July 28, 2015 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Dorothy was born November 17, 1925 in Armstrong, BC and was the youngest of four sisters. As a teen Dorothy was the first May Queen of Armstrong. Dorothy became the family matriarch always keeping in touch with letters, cards and phone calls, right up to her final days ever faithful in keeping the family connected. She was thrilled beyond belief to watch her grandchildren grow into adulthood and then marveled at the next generation. She was so fortunate to have most of the family close by. One of her granddaughters told her she hoped that she could be as loved by her grandchildren as her Granny was. Mom was loved by many and we are sure she would be humbled by the number of tears shed upon learning of her passing. Dorothy will be forever loved and her memory cherished by her loving family: Anita Shumay, Ron Boyce and Gerry Boyce; seven grandchildren: Jason, Carrie, David, Brandie, Kathleen, Verity and Hillary; six great grandchildren: Kurtis, Madison, Nicola, Isla, Judah and Lex. She is predeceased by her husband, Victor Polichek, in 2008. For the last four years Dorothy spent happily at Carrington Place. A Celebration of Dorothy’s Life will be held 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 5th, 2015 at the Chapel of Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services (4417 29th Street, Vernon, BC.Those wishing to do so may make a donation in Dorothy’s memory to The Heart & Stroke Foundation (#4, 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9) or the Canadian Diabetes Association (PO Box 26331 STN BRM B, Toronto, ON M7Y 4R1).
