The mountain ranges are virtually invisible while distant shops and buildings are clouded over Sunday, making downtown Vernon look like a ghost town, due to the smoke settling in the valley from Washington wildfires.

Lace up your runners and hit the track. The public can begin using portions of the Greater Vernon Athletics Park Friday. “People will be able to take a morning run on the track or throw the football around on the artificial turf,” said Tannis N e l s o n , community development Tannis Nelson co-ordinator with the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Those specific areas will be open from dawn to dusk.” Use of the track and artificial field is free of charge, unless it is booked for exclusive use through the recreation complex. As part of the soft opening Friday, RDNO staff and volunteers will be on scene from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. And there are already some initial rave reviews about the facility next to Okanagan College. “The track and field club had a trial run Monday and they’re pretty excited,” said Nelson. There is currently no access to the natural turf field as the grass is still developing, and the washroom/shower building is under construction. All amenities are expected to be completed for the facility’s grand opening Sept. 26.

Cowboy rides out his travelling dream TYLER LOWEY

Morning Star Staff

aul Brandt is going to want to buy the rights to this French Canadian cowboy’s song, but it is a story that can only be told by the man himself. Growing up in Saint-Barnabé-Sud, a small French town five minutes east of Montréal, Pierre Cloutier set out on a nine month, 4,000-kilometre wagon trip across Canada because he wanted to fulfill his childhood dream. “As a kid I dreamt of being a travelling cowboy, but I never thought I would travel across Canada,” said Cloutier, who arrived Sunday afternoon at Historic O’Keefe Ranch. “I wanted to live like the pioneers did.” As he approached the Okanagan Valley, O’Keefe Ranch got wind of his whereabouts and tried to track him down. “We have been tracking his story for a while and we heard he was getting close,” said O’Keefe Ranch events coordinator Sandi LaFleche. “One of our workers spotted him on Old Kamloops Road, I told her, ‘what are you waiting for? Go get him!” Tambria Shortt didn’t have to go far to track down Cloutier and his horses, Bobby, Kelly, Ginny and Betty. “We figured our farm was best suited for him and his horses to stay,” said LaFleche. Cloutier will be at the ranch until Sept. 1, telling stories about his incredible journey and displaying his wagons and horses. Story times are available by calling O’Keefe Ranch or checking out their website. Back in November, Cloutier couldn’t find any work as an auctioneer and his long-time girlfriend recently broke up with him. “I didn’t want to hang around anymore. I wanted to move out to the Okanagan because of how nice I heard it was,” said Cloutier, who set out on Nov. 6. “Vernon seemed like a good fit with the lakes, the country and it looked like a good place for my horses.” Leaving behind his parents, two older brothers and a younger sister, Cloutier came trotting into town in a horse-drawn carriage towed by four horses. He left his hometown hitched to two Belgian horses, and picked up two more horses just outside Pincher Creek, Alta. to get him through the mountains. “The people I have met along the way have been so kind. Everyone has been so friendly and inviting,” said Cloutier. Travelling along the Trans-Canada,

Pierre Cloutier stands beside one of the four Belgian horses that helped pull him from SaintBarnabé-Sud, Que. to Vernon. His trip spanned nine months and more than 4,000 kilometres. Cloutier took Highway 33 into Kelowna before heading north to Vernon. The trip lasted 290 days and remarkably, Cloutier only spent eight nights sleeping in his wagon, never having to buy hay, grain or groceries. “Everywhere I went, people had heard of my story and offered anything they could to help; a place for me and my horses and a warm meal,” said Cloutier. The 41-year-old has been riding horses since before he could walk. He owned his first horse at the age of 12 and built both of his wagons by hand. One wagon contains all of his personal belongings, survival needs and a small kitchen, and the other

contain supplies for his horses. Cloutier completed his trip thanks to all the generosity in this country and because he stuck to his three rules. “You can’t be scared to work hard for what you want; you have to truly believe in yourself and you have to break the rules sometimes,” joked Cloutier. Cloutier says he doesn’t miss home, and stated that he always felt like home during his journey. His arrival in the Okanagan is significant with the Interior Provincial Exhibition right around the corner. Part of this cowboy’s dream is to start up his own show. He plans to debut his Lore of

Star show at the IPE. “I have so many stories to tell about my trip. I think I will also start writing songs with all the memories I have made along the way,” said Cloutier. “Arriving in Vernon was the cherry on the cake for this trip. This is a great place for me to finish my trip and discover my new home.” Cloutier says his family plans to head out west to visit his new home someday in the future. Be sure to check out his Facebook page, which has more than 4,500 likes since starting the trip, to see photos of his stops along the way.

City council tackles budget RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon taxpayers could dig a little deeper. City council is holding a special meeting Thursday to plan for the 2016 budget and staff is suggesting a 3.7 per cent tax hike. “It all depends on what kind of projects we need to look at and wages for the RCMP contract,” said Mayor Akbal Mund. A 3.7 per cent increase would include 1.8 per cent for operations and a statutory 1.9 per cent designated for infrastructure. The 2015 hike was

“We want to get a jump start on the 2016 budget.” — Akbal Mund

3.43 per cent. Council recently approved a 1.8 per cent cap on the operational portion of the budget between 2016 and 2018. “I could not support such a change and especially the idea of extending this cap beyond the next budget year (2016) and to the out years. (2017,

2018),” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “It will prove interesting what will happened if CPI in these years is higher than 1.8 per cent.” The session Thursday begins at 9 a.m. at Lakers Clubhouse and will continue until late afternoon. As part of the agenda, there

will be overviews from divisional directors and a review of 2015 expenditures, the capital levy and the budget timeline. “We want to get a jump start on the 2016 budget and we hope to have it finalized in January instead of March,” said Mund. “We will know where the money is going and we’re set.” After Thursday’s session, staff will review budget packages, which will then be presented to council Nov. 6. Budget sessions will be held Dec. 2 to 4 and it’s expected initial readings of the budget bylaw will proceed Dec. 14.

“I’m not against development but it doesn’t take an artistic eye to walk down our street and see it will look wrong.” But applicant Paul Chirkoff says the new home will not negatively impact the neighbourhood, it will benefit it. “It would blend in with the rest of the subdivision. It would complete the subdivision plan as originally intended by my family.” Coun. Gyula Kiss also points out that the new home will result in two additional sewer connections. “That would be a benefit to the municipality in more than one way,” said Kiss of the additional revenue for sewer operations. Chirkoff agrees that the benefit to the region is broader. “As a community we need to promote the maximizing use of land.”

Water sought for new office RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The taps could flow for a development in Spallumcheen. On Monday, council voted to ask the Greater Vernon Water Utility to expand the water allocation for the Stepping Stones area so Great West Equipment can construct a new office and shop facility on L&A Cross Road. Corey Paiement “This kind of development is consistent with the township,” said Corey Paiement, the township’s chief administrative officer. Currently, GVW provides water to the

Stepping Stones area under agreement and any additional water requires an amendment to the contract. Great West Equipment requires potable water for the administration office and it’s requesting that the water allocation to the property be increased from 0.32 litres per second to 3.75 litres per second. “The request for additional water doesn’t take away from existing allocations in Stepping Stones,” said Paiement. “This is GVW providing additional water.” However, the increased water allocation for Great West Equipment could ultimately reduce the total water available for other future land uses in the Stepping Stones area. Despite that possibility, Paiement recommended that council approve an expanded water allocation.

“The proposed development supports the township’s goal to increase development in the south Spallumcheen industrial and commercial area to diversify the township’s tax base,” he said in a report. Great West Equipment presently has staff at three different sites in Vernon. “Three locations in Vernon are unsustainable. This (Spallumcheen project) consolidates everyone,” said Rob Rintoul, Great West’s chief financial officer. The company has about 65 staff, including 40 in the office, and the new office could hold 90 people. The request for additional water allocation must still be approved by Greater Vernon Water and the Regional District of North Okanagan. Great West Equipment will be before Spallumcheen council Sept. 8 for a development permit.

Christine Fraser. “There needs to be something in the regulations that allow communities with sensitive aquifers to protect them.” It was also pointed out that aquifer conditions can differ between jurisdictions and the rules must consider that reality. “One size doesn’t fit all,” said Mayor Janice Brown. Coun. Andrew

Get off the sidelines

t a time when those wanting to be our next MP are out on the hustings, Mel Arnold’s approach is interesting. The Conservative candidate is cherry-picking which forums he attends leading up to the Oct. 19 election. “We’re trying to balance our time, we have a busy schedule and we’re doing as much doorknocking as possible and meeting people one-onone,” said Arnold in a recent article. He has committed to forums hosted by the Greater Vernon and Salmon Arm chambers of Richard Rolke commerce but as of press time, he has still turned down an opportunity to participate in a forum hosted by the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society. “Why can’t he take part in two?” said SigridAnn Thors, society president, of Arnold. “I don’t think that’s a great problem when running a 78-day campaign.” And Thors raises a valid point as previous campaigns were about 37 days long and candidates generally were able to juggle the various demands placed on them, whether it was forums, teas or shaking hands and kissing babies. This time around, the campaign is twice as long so there should be sufficient time to fit everything in, and perhaps even a little bit more. Arnold has indicated that he’s receiving multiple requests to appear at forums throughout the riding. That’s likely the case, but it’s also the nature of the beast in a vast riding that ranges from Cherryville to Falkland and from Coldstream to Chase and the North Shuswap. Each community, no matter how big or small, is distinct and they want to hear from the election hopefuls directly. By not attending a forum in one of these com-

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

munities, a candidate can be perceived as not taking the community seriously. Such a move can feed a common attitude that the larger towns are more important than their smaller, rural counterparts. Beyond geography and civic identities, some forums focus on specific issues such as the environment. If a candidate doesn’t attend, what does that potentially say about the candidate and their attitudes towards that issue? Of course there will be those who will try and link Arnold’s activities to those of Conservative leader Stephen Harper, who is boycotting some national leaders’ debates. But I suspect Arnold is legitimately trying to balance his schedule and not controlling the message as occurs at the senior level. In the interview, Arnold didn’t appear concerned that selectively attending forums will negatively impact his chances, particularly in Vernon where the Salmon Arm resident isn’t widely known. “We’re spending hours and days door-knocking throughout the riding, meeting people faceto-face and we’re in Vernon almost every week at the Avenue Market,” he said. But while forums aren’t the be-all and end-all, they do provide an opportunity to appear before a captive audience, especially in the smaller communities. It’s like speed dating for the electorate wanting to become informed. Door-knocking is a key campaign strategy but it’s hit and miss as people may not be home or the reception may not be overwhelming if you show up during Wheel of Fortune. The other thing to consider if you are a candidate is, why would you give your competitors an advantage? But that’s exactly what you are doing if they show up at a forum and you don’t. Hopefully Arnold will free up some time in his busy schedule and not disappoint the volunteer organizations that put the forums together or the public he wants to represent.

The deaths of three firefighters in Washington State are a reminder of how much these brave people are putting on the line, on both sides of the border. Last Wednesday, three U.S. Forest Service firefighters died after their vehicle crashed and was likely caught by flames as they battled the Okanogan complex of fires near the town of Twisp. Four other firefighters were injured including one that was taken to hospital in critical condition. They were on the initial attack, trying to stop a fire before it could threaten nearby communities – in some cases, their hometown. Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs can be, whether it is day-to-day operations of our local department or forestry service crews battling major wildfires. But it’s so very easy for the public to take their work for granted, and it’s stunning when such a tragedy happens. Considering the level of danger, it is amazing that relatively few are lost. Evacuees from the Rock Creek blaze and other fires also are dealing with their personal adversity in loss of homes and livelihoods or the uncertainty of not yet knowing what has been lost. But we who aren’t directly exposed to the fires, complaining about the smoke and ash in the air, and the other inconveniences brought on by fires burning in our region and south of the border, might imagine the risk is small. The deaths of Tom Zbyszewski, Rick Wheeler and Andrew Zajac show us how great the risk firefighters face is, and continues to be for the thousands of firefighters battling blazes in B.C. and Washington. As you read this, they are still digging in with shovels and axes in searing heat and choking smoke, struggling against so many fires it is hard to keep track. We extend our thanks to these brave men and women who are putting their lives in front of wildfires to protect people and property from devastation and death. — Black Press

Pickleball on the move

he 200-plus pickleball players in Vernon have formed a small committee to work with the city to create 12 permanent pickleball courts for public and club use. The site that appears most favourable is the grassed area within the running track in Polson Park. Twelve courts would take up roughly 25 per cent of this area and still leave room for the running track and other events that get held there. Although a public review process for use of this site is required (expected to conclude March 2017), this site has so many advantages over any other that Vernon pickleball players are prepared to wait to create this a top quality facility in a showcase location. The advantages are this central location would provide practical noon hour access to downtown workers so they could activate their lunch break, no residential areas are nearby to be negatively impacted and surrounding amenities in Polson Park (covered picnic tables, children’s playground area, washrooms, parking, snack shack building nearby, etc.) would all see enhanced traffic and use. The shade trees and the fact the site is well protected from the wind further enhance its desirability for an outdoor pickleball facility. Kelowna, Salmon Arm,

Penticton, and Kamloops, all have dedicated facilities already, but none of them have the showcase location Polson Park provides and this would be a huge competitive advantage in holding open tournaments throughout the summer, and attracting, like Funtastic, more tourism dollars into Greater Vernon. Pickleball, continues to be the fastest growing sport in North America, with people of all ages. Children and teens are being introduced to the game through school programs, young adults and seniors turned off by the high cost and time of other sports such as golf are

COSENS BAY ROAD I was disappointed, but not surprised, to read that Keith Baric, of B.C. Parks, said to the regional district board, "B.C. Parks is not here to share its opinion on the boundary adjustment application. We're a neutral party," (Morning Star, July 26). He was talking about the Ministry of Transportation's plan to remove land from Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park along Cosens Bay Road. It is obvious that local B.C. Parks staff are effectively gagged in this land removal process. The people most qualified and knowledgable about the potential impact on the park cannot share their expertise with the public or local governments. Meanwhile, staff from the Ministry of Transportation (MoT) are free to speak publicly,

all looking at pickleball as something they can learn quickly, and be having fun with while getting exercise. They can spend as little as 15 minutes to complete one game or a few hours to play many games. Equipment is inexpensive, and it is a very social game and a great way to make new friends. Our committee is about to embark on a funding program for the anticipated facility to add to the funds available from the City of Vernon so a tournament and community-ready facility can be completed. While having a site confirmed would likely enhance the success of our funding drive,

give media interviews and advocate their position to local governments. It is left to concerned members of the public, local councillors and reporters to question, criticize and offer alternative solutions. A MoT official stated, "We are not here to force this." Public input was to be essential. (Morning Star, Aug. 10, 2014.) So far public and local government objections have been ignored and the process continues. This is the same ministry responsible for addressing local concerns about Stickle Road. Is there a pattern emerging here? When stage two of MoT's land removal scheme is revealed, there will be a 45 day period for comment online. B.C. Parks staff will study the proposal carefully. Their views will not be made public. No open house or public meeting

this will not deter us from proceeding on this front and in fact, preliminary discussions with potential donors are already taking place. Greater Vernon citizens will benefit from this shared cost facility with ample public access. Club members will help co-ordinate playing schedules, tournaments, provide volunteers for teaching the game, donations of used racquets for people wanting to try the game, ongoing cooperation with the parks and recreation department to maintain the facility and grow the participation level in the game. Lastly, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those who have allowed our Clubs to share the use of their tennis facilities (Middleton Mountain, Sawicki Park and MacDonald Park), at least until a permanent pickleball court facility is constructed. It should be noted that a lot of people besides those from our clubs are also using these facilities for pickleball. This is a sure sign of how much fun the sport is, that it is gaining widespread popularity, and that it will be an economic and social boon. Watch for the Pickleball Fun Day at Sawicki Millennium Park Aug. 29. Don Friesen, vice-chairperson, Greater Vernon Dedicated Courts Committee

is planned. MoT says the public has already been consulted. Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park was created because local citizens, local governments and the MLA successfully lobbied the government of the day to acquire the land when developers were eagerly eyeing it. The current level of development within the park was designed by a public advisory committee with wide local representation. It has been described as the people's park. The release of stage two of MoT's plan will give people a final chance to demand that they be listened to. I urge all those who value the park in its present state to take that opportunity and make their views clear once again to the transportation minister, the environment minister and our MLA.

FEDERAL ELECTION Regarding that resume attack add against Justin Trudeau, the Conservatives must be just terrified that someone young, dynamic, charismatic and popular might be elected prime minister. They go on and on about his qualifications, so what qualifications do you need to be elected prime minister? No. 1, you have to be a Canadian citizen. No. 2, you must be 18 years of age or older. That’s it, they both qualify. Both have a university degree. Both have been elected to Parliament. Both have been chosen to lead their respective parties. Harper was PM at age 47. Justin will be 44 this year, not much difference is there? The teachers I have known in my lifetime are very cautious with money and how to spend it to best advantage. For Harper to say he is the only one to make the hard decisions is nonsense. As a matter of fact teachers make tough decisions all the time. U.S. president Lyndon. B. Johnson and Israeli prime minister Golda Meir were both school teachers. R. Payne

Pipers perform in Polson Morning Star Staff

Pipes and drums will be heard throughout Vernon’s Polson Park Thursday. The Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band and the Arran Campbell Memorial Youth Pipe Band will host Piping in the Park at 7 p.m. at the bandshell. “Piping in the Park is a free concert event that features traditional Scottish music and this year will feature the dancers from the Argyll School of Dance and Motion,” said Craig Tilander, a member of the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band. The event is one of more than 40 that the bands participate in each year. This year, the bands hosted the annual Spring Fling, which brought 10 bands from across the province to Vernon to compete in piping, drumming, marching and dancing competitions. The bands also participated in the second annual Okanagan Military

Albertan reggae band Tasman Jude brings some Peace River valley-island sounds to Vernon when it plays the last Jammin’ in Justice concert of the season today. Familiar faces to these parts, the Grande Prairie band previously brought its rhythms to Vernon when it opened for local band Cod Gone Wild at its masquerade ball in October, 2014. Last in town in April, when it played an all-ages show at Gallery Vertigo as part of its recent crossCanada tour, Tasman Jude is said to be one of the hardest working bands out there. A lot has happened to original members Caleb “Bravehart” Hart (lead vocals, djembe) and Al Peterson (guitar) since they first climbed an open mic stage together and improvised three songs. The band has since added bassist Derek Wilder and percussionist Bethanie Earle, and continue to develop a loyal fan base here in Canada and beyond, thanks to many days spent on the road, and across the ocean, touring. “The band has a unique relationship with our fam(ily). We don’t have fans; we have family. They give us so much more than we can possibly give them simply through music,” said Hart, who is originally from Trinidad-Tobago. Tasman Jude has played 350 shows over the past two years and that number continues to grow throughout the remainder of 2015. The band independently released its debut album, Green, in October, 2014, followed by a tour across Canada. After wrapping up that tour, the band kept the momentum going, with dates in the Caribbean and then on to Australia in early 2015 for a 10-week visit that included the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Forest Edge Music festival and Easterfest in Toowoomba. The band has just come off another crosscountry tour across Canada, which began in their hometown in April, and took them to more than 40 stops, including Vernon, throughout the spring and early summer. The band continues to tour on its first album Green, which debuted at number one on the iTunes reggae charts upon its release. The album is the first in a series of three concept albums. The second album Gold, due out this fall, will have a bit more of an island pop vibe (including new track La Isla) than the rootsy, earthy sounds of Green, while the third album, Red, will take on the more ska/aggressive side of reggae music. These three combined albums will provide Tasman Jude’s full take on reggae — going back to roots of reggae music which teaches of God, peace, love, joy, truth, freedom, justice, unity and serenity. Tasman Jude plays Jammin’ in Justice, organized by the Downtown Vernon Association, at Justice Park (at 27th Street and 30th Avenue, across from the Vernon Court House), today from noon to 1:30 p.m. Bring a picnic and enjoy this free lunchtime concert.

The Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band was formed in 1984

and is the largest pipe band in the Okanagan Valley, with close to 40 pipers and drummers. “They are the only group in the Interior with both a junior and adult pipe band,” said Tilander. “Piping in the Park is the

beginning of a new season for the band and registration for new students, young and old, that are interested in piping and drumming lessons will be accepted on Thursday night.” Both bands practice and offers lessons each week on Monday and Thursday nights.
