Downtown Enderby will remain open for business as a major construction project proceeds. Revitalization of Cliff Avenue begins Monday. “Everyone is pretty excited. People have been waiting and waiting,” said Mayor Greg McCune. “The priority is to make sure access to businesses is open.” To ensure residents and visitors can get to businesses, there will be protected pedestrian walkways. Motorists will be directed to free city parking lots on Maude Street, Russell Avenue and Mill Avenue. “Our lots are a one to three-minute walking distance of the businesses,” said Tate Bengtson, chief administrative officer. “It will still be easy to shop downtown.” Updates on construction will also be posted at www.cityofenderby.com/cliff
Belvedere Street to improve safety and create a public plaza. Other aspects include seating, rain garden, street trees and pier-themed gateway structures. Road, sidewalk and water infrastructure will also be replaced. The total project cost is $1.8 million, with about $200,000 directly linked to beautification. The rest of the money will go towards infrastructure. The city has initiated an alternate approval process to borrow $467,000 over 20 years for the project. If 10 per cent of voters, or 238 people, sign the alternate approval process petition by April 25, the borrowing can’t proceed. “If the borrowing is turned down, the funds will come from taxes or from reserves,” said McCune. “We don’t foresee a problem. The majority of people seem pretty good with it.” If the borrowing of $467,000 proceeds, the annual taxation impact on a house assessed at $217,120 is $20.

Commemorating Vimy Ridge a passion RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff
Right now, the lane that horseshoes Andy Wylie’s Vernon property at 4008-29th Street is nondescript. There’s unraked leaves, dirt roads, a rusted storage container and high grass. In a year from now, Wylie will have changed that look into what he calls a world-class tourist attraction, a site that will commemorate one of Canada’s great moments in its history. Wylie is in the midst of creating Vimy Lane, a shrine to Vimy Ridge, one of the most historic battles of the First World War, fought on April 9, 1917. “That’s the day Canada became truly independent, a nation strong and free,” said Wylie, a marketing major from Montreal’s Concordia University. “Vimy Ridge was the turning point of the First World War, from trench stalemate to the first Allied victory. It was the First World War’s D-Day and it was Canadian. “The Canadian corps that stormed Vimy Ridge on that Easter Monday in the fields of northern France was unrivaled, unbeaten and absolutely unstoppable.” Wylie will unveil his concept for the lane onsite at a special block party on Saturday, April 9 – the 99th anniversary of Vimy Ridge – from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be live music and refreshments. Wylie’s vision for Vimy Lane will include a replica of the actual Vimy Ridge Memorial from France outlined in white on a sky-blue base, on the west end of the Rocky Mountain Transport’s warehouse. This is what Wylie calls the “heart of the memorial.” “I hope to build a replica made of wood donated by a Vernonbased business that can eventually be moved to a park,” he said. A sky-blue mural will run the full length of Vimy Lane starting with shipping containers with lines from the legendary Canadian First

Andy Wylie wants to convert the laneway behind his home into a Vimy Ridge memorial called Vimy Lane.
“That’s the day Canada became truly independent...” — Andy Wylie
World War poem In Flanders Field painted on. Wylie has already started the lane with commemorative flags from various countries, including Canada’s first flag. “Vimy Lane will be a Vernon landmark, a tourist attraction for the hotels and downtown,” he said. “It will be a renaissance garden in the heart of Vernon for all to enjoy.” A special part of the block party will be to honour the memory of the 125 Vernon soldiers who died in the First World War.
Wylie, with help from the public and area students, will paint 125 maple leafs to represent each Vernon soldier lost in the Great War. At the block party, 50 maple leafs will be available to be painted for a minimum $5 donation. The remaining 75 are reserved for high school students who are invited to submit essays on the lives of any famous Canadian they wish to write about. “The students with the best essays will be invited to a future event(s) to dedicate a maple leaf in
Vimy Lane,” said Wylie, who has received support for his project from Bill and Gerry Sengotta of Rocky Mountain Transport, Jed and Simon Astin who own neighbouring apartments, residents of 29th Street and from the Ultimate Social Club. “Vimy Lane is celebrating Canadiana,” said Guy Bailey of the Ultimate Social Club. “This is a huge bonus for Vernon. It’s an honour to recognize what happened in the First World War. With Canada celebrating its 150th birthday in 2017, it’s the perfect time for all of us to celebrate and be thankful. “This lane will look totally different when Andy’s done but it’s his vision and it’s going to happen.” If all goes according to plan, Vimy Lane will officially open
during Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations on the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge, April 9, 2017. “Vimy Lane is my way of giving thanks to the country that has given me so much,” said Wylie.

Rec centre takes extra precautions Morning Star Staff
Staff at the Vernon Recreation Centre are advising users that visited the Vernon Aquatic Centre on March 30 and March 31 that they are taking extra precautions to prevent the spread of hand, foot and mouth virus. A child in swimming lessons was diagnosed as having the virus earlier on Friday, April 1. Staff immediately contacted Interior Health Authority, who have assured the city that the chlorine levels at the Aquatic Centre are sufficient to kill the virus in the pool. Additionally, Recreation Services is taking the matter seriously and is taking extra steps to disinfect the pool area and change rooms beyond
the normal disinfection that is completed daily in the facility. The virus can be spread through close personal contact such as kissing, or sharing drinking cups, forks, or spoons. It can also spread through droplets in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You can be infected by inhaling these droplets or touching objects contaminated with them. If you have any concerns, please contact Vernon Recreation Services by calling 250-545-6035 or emailing greception@vernon.ca. More information on the virus, and symptoms to be aware of, can be found at www.healthlinkbc.ca/ healthfiles/pdf/hfile64.pdf
Tourism tax adds up Morning Star Staff
Marketing dollars for Vernon climbed upwards in 2015. The two per cent hotel room tax collected $616,621 last year, a 15 per cent increase from 2014 and a 77 per cent hike since the first full year of the tax in 2011. “Last year was another exceptional year for the accommodation sector in Vernon,” said Kevin Poole, the city’s economic development manager. “We are extremely pleased with the results and hope to see continued growth in the sector.” The $616,621 in tax equates to $30.8 million of room revenue being generated by accommodators in

Rec complex reno on track RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The first part of upgrades to the Vernon Recreation Complex is almost done. It’s anticipated the main entrance to the building will reopen in mid-April, but the work hasn’t stopped people from accessing the pool or other amenities. “They have done a great job of keeping the facility open,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. Ceiling work is proceeding and flooring will be installed soon, while the cabinets for the Creekside Energy Bar are being installed. Once the main entrance is open, phase

two of the renovations will begin and the back hallway and west entrance will be closed. The second phase should be completed in late May. Airport funding sought The City of Vernon hopes a grant application for the airport takes flight. A $592,000 grant is being sought from the B.C. Air Access
Program for the overlay of the runway, apron one and taxiway A. “There is a need to resurface the runway because it has reached the end of its practical service life,” sad Shirley Koenig, director of operations, in a report. It could take three to six months before the city knows if the application was successful. “Resurfacing would likely be completed in
2017,” said Koenig. Nowhere to go Visiting Polson Park was a challenging situation for some residents over the Easter long weekend. The public washrooms were not open. “I have received some complaints,” said Coun. Scott Anderson during Tuesday’s council meeting. According to staff, the washrooms are
open based on the availability of the contractor responsible for the facilities. “The contract is from April 1 to Oct. 31,” said Shirley Koenig, director of operations.

O’Keefe Ranch is pitching a new concept for long-term stability. The historic site in Spallumcheen is pursuing financial grants for the Red Barn, a project that would promote creative art and lost trades skills. “It will give us an opportunity to do programs and events year-round,” said Glen Taylor, general manager. “We want to create a sustainable environment at the ranch through other activiGlen Taylor ties.” The Red Barn would be a physical space where artists could pursue their passion while others learn to embrace trades that have been abandoned due to technology. There would also be the possibility of special events and partnering with First Nations. The goal is to enhance the ranch’s role as a tourism destination. “Red Barn has been on the books since 2009 and we’ve been looking at ways to move forward,” said Taylor. But increased focus on the proposal devel-
oped last year when artist Michelle Loughery got involved. While the project could become reality in three years, the timeline will depend on funds. “We have some momentum but until we are successful with applications, we don’t know where it will go,” said Taylor, who wouldn’t speculate on a project cost. The City of Vernon, which owns the ranch, has written a letter of support to assist with grant applications. “The ranch has a strategy to bring arts and culture to the ranch,” said Mayor Akbal Mund. “They are not asking the city for money. This will help put Vernon on the map.”

TRACY HUGHES Black Press
from Dean Chapple at H&R Block The Disability tax credit is an amount which partially compensates disabled taxpayers for the extra expenses incurred as a result of their disability. For 2015 the amount is $7899 for an adult and is a non-refundable tax credit which is used to reduce tax payable. A larger credit is available for a dependant child under 18. A tip about this credit is that it can be transferred - to a parent, grandparent, spouse or anyone else that has claimed the disabled person on their tax return as a dependant. You must have a T2201 (Disability Tax Credit Certificate) completed by your doctor. The Canada Revenue Agency will use this completed form to determine if you qualify for the credit. This credit can be retroactive to the date the doctor states the disability began within a ten-year period. If you think you qualify or have a dependant who qualifies then come in and see our tax specialists who will go over the form and explain things.

sory committee leaves little room for trustees to pick and choose which programs would be cut, unless the committee adds more items to the list. As the budget process is in the early stages, none of the suggested cuts would be approved until trustees vote on the final budget in May.

“We are reaching into the classroom...”
The Nor th O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District’s budget advisory committee is looking at a menu of possible cuts for the upcoming year. The current suggestions, however, are still short of a balanced budget. Following the release of funding numbers by the Ministry of Education, this school district must cut $1.1 million from its operating budget for this year in order to balance the budget. The initial list put together for deliberation by the budget advi-

Adding another layer to the debate is the school district’s practice of transferring its previous year’s operational surplus into the capital fund. This sparked controversy over the past week when it was revealed that the school district transferred $10.5 million in operational surplus to capital over the last five years to pay for buildings, furniture, computers and renovations. There is $1 million on the books to be transferred from the current year’s budget, all of which has been earmarked for renovations to Carlin Elementary/ Middle School. The committee had some preliminary discussion on the possibility of using some of those surplus funds for the coming year’s operational budget, however, this was not explored in depth at that meeting. “It’s not pretty this year,” Nicole Bittante, the school district’s secretary-treasurer, told the budget committee
members. “You will be seeing things on the list you won’t like.” Among the proposed cuts is a complete reconfiguration of the school district’s library system which would see all teacher-librarians cut and replaced with library clerks, whose role would simply be to handle book check-out and shelving of materials. The proposed savings of switching to this type of system is $758,000, as the cost of employing a library tech position would be significantly less than for teacher-librarians. However, North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap Teachers Association president Brenda O’Dell warned the committee about this course of action, saying there would likely be a union grievance filed if such an action was taken. Another proposed cut would be to the school district’s $350,000 distributed learning program, which allows students to upgrade courses or take independent course work with access to help from a teacher. A $350,000 reduction in students’ services, including cutbacks to learning resource teachers and certified education assistants for students with spe-

cial learning needs, is also suggested, as is a restructuring of the school district’s alternate education program. The school district’s gifted education program, which was reduced last year, is now completely on the chopping block for an $80,000 saving. The literacy intervention program is also facing $240,000 in cuts, which would reduce the teacher time for that program, by roughly two full-time teaching positions, but would not see it completely eliminated. The career programs would be in a similar situation, with a proposed $100,000 reduction, but not a total loss of the service. Cuts were also proposed that would eliminate a $100,000 maintenance planner position, a $200,000 reduction in management supply budgets and a $25,000 reduction in professional development for senior staff. Another $500,000 in savings could be realized due to $200,000 in enrolment decline reductions in teacher wages and a one-time-only benefit premium holiday. “We see these numbers on a page, but these numbers represent children’s lives, parents’ lives and employees’ lives. We are reaching into the classroom deeper each year,” commented Barry Chafe, trustee and committee chair. Administration asked the committee members whether they had additional ideas about places to cut, but suggestions were in short supply. The budget committee will host a public budget session April 21 at 7 p.m. in the District Education Support Centre in Salmon Arm.

Man severely burned Morning Star Staff
An individual was seriously injured after entering an electrical compound in Armstrong. A power outage occurred at the Smith Drive substation at about 9 p.m. Thursday after a fire broke out in the facility. “We received reports of a member of the public inside the substation,” said Mora Scott, B.C. Hydro spokesperson. A 25-year-old man was found inside the fenced facility. “He suffered significant burns and was transported to the Vernon Jubilee

Hospital,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, with the RCMP. The man is not a B.C. Hydro employee. “RCMP are investigating why the man was inside that area,” said Noseworthy. Once on scene, Hydro staff tackled the fire.
“There was a piece of equipment damaged and crews were able to make repairs,” said Scott. The incident knocked out power to about 8,000 customers in Armstrong, Enderby and Vernon and electricity was restored by midnight.
Housing diversity urged JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A proposed duplex in an area that is traditionally single-family homes is making waves and gaining nods in Coldstream. The two-family dwelling is planned for Westkal Road and while there are some concerns about the already-congested area, there is support for diversifying houses. “It’s a densification that I believe Coldstream needs to look at,” said Coun. Peter McClean. “I see this as a win- Peter McClean win for both the property owner and the district.” While there has been some neighbouring support, not everyone is in favour of a duplex on the road. “That road has always had parking problems and I think it will just add to it,” said Westkal
Road resident Scott McNab. But measures are being taken to alleviate those concerns. “We’re putting in approximately 10 parking spots,” said applicant Jeremy Frick. Coun. Doug Dirk also raised concern about setting precedent as the application includes some setback and size variances. Meanwhile Coldstream’s staff are recommending approval as the district’s own policies point to the need for housing diversification. “Based on the 2011 census, semi-detached and duplex dwellings made up only seven per cent of the housing stock in the community,” said Michelle Austin, Coldstream’s planning technician, in her report to council. “The proposed OCP envisions a community that offers a range of housing types to suit families in all stages of life and with varying incomes. In order to achieve this goal, it will be necessary to diversify the District’s housing stock and to provide more options to the single-family home.”
Road work underway until May Motorists are being advised of a change in traffic patterns in Vernon. City crews are continuing work along 28th and 29th avenues as part of the 30th Street upgrade which began March 15. “Roadworks include the reconstruction of failing sewer, storm and water pipes and renewal of services to property line,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, communications officer. “Additional works include new curb, gutter, sidewalk, road, streetlights and landscaping along the 29th Avenue section.” During construc-

Headaches And Neck Pain Some headache sufferers experience headaches so frequently and for so long that they begin to think it must be normal for them. CAT scans of the head in search of the cause frequently come up negative. Treatment usually ends up being some form of pain-killing drug, which can lead to unwanted side effects and may not address the cause of the problem.
Dr. Elliot Lysyk, DC Arise Chiropractor
Dr. James Mayne, DC
Arise Chiropractor
The cause of these headaches is often overlooked because much of the pain can actually be referred from the neck. When I perform an examination, I often find that the patient may also suffer from neck pain, neck restriction, tight cervical muscles, muscular trigger points, postural imbalances, tingling in the hands, and sometimes arm pain. X-rays often reveal that the natural spinal curve and alignment of the vertebrae have been lost. When nerves in your spine get pinched, they alert you with pain. The relationship between such misalignments of the neck and headaches is so common that it is even given its own category: cervicogenic headaches. I am also alarmed at the number of children who suffer headaches that are told it is a normal part of growing. There is nothing “normal” about headaches or neck pain. The cause should always be sought. If these problems sound familiar to you or a child you know, one consultation with our office may change the rest of your/their life. Written by Dr. Elliot Lysyk

very now and then a small thing happens to you that makes you reflect a little bit on the bigger picture of the present state of your life. But before I go there, let me tell you a story from my youth – don’t worry, I’m pretty sure I can tie it all together in the end and maybe even make a point in the process. One time a bunch of my buddies and I met at my place (OK my parent’s place as I was still living there at the time as we were all likely in our late teens), and we were having trouble deciding where to go to eat breakfast (likely the night after some glenn Mitchell party). This happened quite a bit (like Friday nights downtown in some parking lot or Saturdays at Toro’s and then we’d just end up staying there playing pool and Space Invaders all night), so one of us was starting to lose patience with the realities of groupthink among young people and the consequences of decision-making, or lack thereof. Anyway, we finally decided to go to the Green but not before that certain individual decided he’d had enough of this foolishness, once he knew where we were all going, and took off in his Firebird in a real huff. But not before I yelled out an appropriate and maybe even prophetic “Hey, slow down and live a little.” The rest of us eventually made our way to the Green but not before we noticed some flashing lights and a certain Firebird pulled over by the side of 27th Street near Seaton School. Ha. It was perfect. If only he had listened to me, he wouldn’t have had to sheepishly walk into the restaurant a few minutes after us to giggles and ultimately hear about it for the rest of his life. Ahem.
MitChEll’S MuSingS
Well, 40 years later, almost, and I have a new version of the slow down and live variety that, this time, involves yours truly. Take note, Don, er, guy in the Firebird. I was driving my wife’s car and in a hurry to pick up something at a drug store in downtown Vernon, cause you know there’s only a certain amount of minutes in every day you know? I was by myself but earlier I had been with my wife and we were in a hurry, as usual, because we were hosting Easter dinner the next day and there was lots to do you know. But I’m not blaming my wife for what occurred next, let’s make that crystal clear, as it was all me. I was actually wistfully looking at the old K&K Bookstore sign on an empty building across the street as I parked the Camry, got out of the car and made my way over to the parking meter to see if I needed to plug it, or maybe it was my lucky day and there was still time on the meter. Actually maybe it was lucky that I had to put a quarter in cause it prompted me to think “well, I better check to see if I’ve got my keys too and check to see if I’ve locked my wife’s car or not.” Gulp. The keys were not in my pocket. I plugged the meter and worked my way back to the car thinking how could I lose keys over a 12-foot, 12-second journey to the sidewalk? Well not only had I not locked the car, I had left the keys in the ignition, and it was still running. Oops. It’s the one time in my life I was glad I had to plug a meter to gather my thoughts, such as they were. I couldn’t believe I’d just done that. It was a sign from above, or Don somehow. I gotta slow down a little. Slow down and live, as someone wise once said many decades ago. Ahem.
North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees are faced with an overwhelming situation. No matter what they do, a $1.1 million shortfall means significant cuts will be required to balance the 2016/17 budget. “We see the numbers on the page, but these numbers represent children’s lives, parents’ lives and employees’ lives,” said trustee Barry Chafe. “We are reaching into the classroom deeper each year.” And the impact could be significant this coming year. Among the potential cuts are eliminating all teacher-librarians and reductions to learning resource teachers and certified education assistants for students with special learning needs. The alternate education program could be restructured and the gifted education program scrapped. There could also be fewer resources for literacy intervention and career programs. Obviously there are concerns about how the school district has handled its finances, and particularly transferring the previous year’s operational surplus into the capital fund. However, even with that, the bottom line is that money is extremely tight and the primary reason is the lack of provincial support. Ministry of Education funding has not kept up with the cost of living, and while Victoria insists it doesn’t play a role in how districts operate, it completely determines cost factors like staff salaries and B.C. Hydro. While trustees try to sort out the 2016/17 budget, they also need to demand a meeting with Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. Such a session may not ultimately change anything, but at least they can sit down with Kyllo, show him the books and the mess that has become the education system.

Project stuck in neutral
his letter is being sent in response to comments made on pickleball in the Jan. 10 Morning Star by the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and then supported by an editorial from the paper itself. The gist of these comments was that a $2-plus million project request for pickleball facilities and additional tennis facilities is something large enough to merit taking a step back to consider an overall Marshall Field long-term plan review, a possible referendum to the general population for funding support or perhaps an initiative to pursue a private business that would build a facility at no cost to the public. To clarify, the Dec. 10, 2015 request put to the Regional District of North Okanagan was strictly for a 12-court, outside pickleball facility. The cost is about $500,000. A significant portion of the funding is expected to come from various charitable organizations and private donations. You can see the full presentation by going to vernonpickleball.com and clicking on the dedicated public pickleball courts headline to verify what was really being requested. At the end of the presentation, RDNO asked questions about other related projects and what they might cost (e.g. more tennis courts and a shared building for indoor tennis and pickleball activity) if brought forward at some point in the future. An informal response was given to these blue-sky types of questions and the meeting ended. Somehow the project commu-
nicated to the public in the newspaper incorporated these additional elements (things that might never be requested if demand does not materialize or if funding is not available) to give an entirely false sense of the size and scope of the actual current proposal. By bloating the cost and scope of the project by more than 400 per cent it gives credence to the suggestion of a need for an overall site review. The proposal was sent in draft form to RDNO for review and comments a couple of weeks before the Dec. 10 presentation was made to them. As no feedback was given, the assumption was that the proposal was good to go. Note, this was similar to a proposal that was provided to Vernon city council a month previous when Polson Park was being pursued as the site. Our committee withdrew that presentation when we were advised that Polson was not going to work and Marshall Field was suggested as the do-able alternative. I won’t even try to guess why the reported scope of the project has been misrepresented but I can tell
MP AND TERROR It is with sad and ironic amusement that I read about Mel Arnold’s interest in terror: “MP demands focus on terror." Mr. Arnold is quoted as saying the government needs to take “every action to eliminate the root cause and violence that has ravaged Syria and Iraq and has spread its shadow now across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and more.” This is the same old Harper/Tory line trying 10.33” by 2.5” to instill fear and division within the domestic

you, our proposal has been consistent from day one. We have been working on this and sharing our thoughts with parks and recreation since last July when our committee was struck. Initial feedback from the city was very encouraging in terms of a recognition that dedicated pickleball courts would be well utilized by not only the 350-plus members of the Vernon Pickleball Association but youth organizations, schools and the general public as well. The city indicated this was a project it really wanted to go forward and was prepared to allocate land and some funding to this amenity. It was pleased to have our group lead the initiative to get it done. Unfortunately, since that initial feedback last July, the project seems to be stuck in neutral. To say this has been a frustrating exercise is an understatement. We remain challenged to understand the process required to truly advance our project, who the decision makers really are and what it will take to get even a conditional site approval. If funding is the main
population in order to better manipulate them. It is also the phrase that Justin Trudeau introduced during the last voting campaign, about the need to look at the “root causes” of terror. Interesting as to how they have adopted that line of rhetoric. There should be no doubt in Mr. Arnold’s mind where the root cause of that terror lies, and from where it is casting its shadow. In simple form here it is: the ultimate source of the terror that has spread throughout the Middle East has its root cause in the U.S.’ need
SUNGLASSES.
concern, the lack of even a conditional site approval has seriously hampered our funding subcommittee’s ability to apply for grants and donations as we can give no assurances to our potential donors that the project is even real. The gross overstatement of the cost and size of the project at hand has been used to manufacture the rationale for a possible overall review of the Marshall Field site long-term use plan and a possible referendum to spend millions of dollars. This serves only one purpose which is to delay making any decision, possibly for years. The reality is that once the site is guaranteed, our fundraising could move forward in high gear and the $500,000 price tag would be chiselled considerably. The cost to the taxpayers would be minimal. The initial construction and ongoing maintenance of the facility would have significant VPA involvement, helping to minimize possible cost overruns and workloads to city staffers. Given the small footprint and location (between the existing tennis courts and soccer building), as well as the minimal taxpayer funding, an overall site review and referendum is not necessary. Direction from city hall/ RDNO/GVAC to our committee on what exactly is needed to shift this $500,000 project out of neutral and back into drive is therefore respectfully requested. Myron Hocevar, Chairperson, Vernon Dedicated Courts Committee
to maintain the reserve currency status of its petrodollar hegemony against any and all possible challengers. Over the past several years, I have submitted numerous explanatory letters to all MPs, including Mr. Arnold, providing the information demonstrating where the terror source actually resides. At this point I will not reiterate that comprehensive structure for this letter, as Mr. Arnold could actually read his e-mails if he wished. Jim Miles

MEL RESPONDS I recently inspected the new mobility-challenged deck that MP Mel Arnold has had installed in front of his office on 30th in the old CNR Station. I just would like to commend Mr. Arnold for this, although I alluded to it in a previous letter. I contacted Mel's office about snow blockage a few weeks ago and he responded to that concern right away. If the level of responsiveness that Mr. Arnold has demonstrated so far, along with ongoing feedback to and from the community, my disappointment at not seeing the candidate I supported, get elected, will be more than assuaged by a man who appears to be doing a great job so far. Gosh, I might even swing over to the right one more time if the Conservatives can get their act together. Might. Dean Roosevelt

Downtown Vernon is throwing a birthday party for the planet. On April 22, the Downtown Vernon Association is hosting an Earth Day celebration in Cenotaph Park 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “The public can visit with local groups working towards sustainability in our community,” said Hailey Rilkoff, with the DVA. Entertainment will be provided by Chipko Jones and Kiki the Eco Elf while children can create art and music using recycled objects with Gallery Vertigo. And the first 200 people to attend will get an Earth Day cookie baked by Ratio Coffee and Pastry. Prior to the Earth Day birthday party, local businesses and groups will clean up the downtown core, picking up garbage. “Some items collected from the clean-up teams in the morning will be used in a temporary art piece that will be consciously curated by students working with local artist Amanda Shatzko during the birthday party,” said Rilkoff.

Neighbouring protest has uprooted plans for additional housing on a Lavington farm. Owners of a Learmouth Road property had hoped to build a secondary residence on the 10-acre agricultural lot. There is currently an apple orchard and existing farm worker housing on site, but the owners had applied to build another house so that they Michael Reiley could live on site. “Currently they are living in the city and commuting,” said Michael Reiley, Coldstream’s director of development services. “They would like to live on the site and would be constructing a home for themselves.” But several neighbours voiced their concerns at Coldstream council Tuesday about the existing rental home, as well as a neighbouring lot which is apparently also owned by the applicants.
“They have been rentals that have already been a bane to our neighbourhood,” said neighbour Lee Lumb, who claims that the renters are not farm workers. Edith Thoreson questioned how Coldstream would enforce the designation of farm worker use only in the existing home if the application was approved. “There’s nothing to ensure they actually live in that house,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. “They could build it and then rent it out.” The lot size also does not currently allow for an accessory employee residential use, as it is half the allowable 19.77 acres. With all of this in mind, Coldstream council denied the application at its meeting Tuesday evening. “I came in here thinking it was not a hard item to support however what I’ve heard does raise a few flags,” said Coun. Peter McClean.

B.C. skip Bob Ursel, of Kelowna, shouts instructions at the Canadian Senior Men’s Curling Championships in Digby, N.S.; Jaedyn Cotter throws rock with her dad, Jim, watching, in Saskatoon.
Cotters cool with mixed curling Morning Star Staff
Six Brier appearances. Missing the Olympics by one game. Great curling moments, indeed, for Vernon’s Jim Cotter. But nothing, he told sports editor Kevin Mitchell of the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, beats playing with daughter Jaelyn, as the pair represent B.C. at the Canadian mixed doubles curling championship at Saskatoon’s Nutana Club. “Because I’m curling with Jaelyn, this is the highlight of my curling career,” said Cotter. “To play at a national event with your daughter … what beats that?” Jaelyn’s the youngest player in the field, and is brushing up against curling luminaries like Rachel Homan, Mike and Dawn McEwen, and Chelsea Carey. It’s a thrill, she said. But so is playing with pop. “I usually curl with four girls, and now I get to curl just me and my dad, which is so cool,” said Jaelyn, also interviewed by the Star-Phoenix. “My biggest dream is to make it into the Scotties, or something like that. I’m not going to stop working hard; I’m going to work hard until I can make it to those kind of big, crazy things.” After splitting their first two games, the Cotters finished opening day Thursday with a 6-5 win over Alberta’s Jessie Kaufman and Brock Virtue. On Friday, father-daughter lost 10-3 to veterans Jocelyn Peterman of Alberta and Brett Gallant of Newfoundland/ Labrador, then improved to 3-2 with a 10-1 romp over Lora Browne and Nick Kaeser of the Northwest Territories. Peterman recently curled with Chelsey Carey at the Ford Women’s World Championships in Swift Current, while Gallant threw second stones for Brad Gushue at the Tim Hortons Brier in Ottawa, losing in the final to Alberta’s Kevin Koe. Against the pair from the Territories, the Cotters scored four in the first end with hammer, then stole four points over the next three ends for an 8-0 cushion after four. The Cotters played Ottawa’s Lisa Weagle and Toronto’s John Epping Friday night before wrapping up the prelimi-
nary round Saturday morning against Saskatchewan veterans Stephanie Lawton and Steve Laycock. The Cotter duo formed their mixed doubles team as a way to prepare Jaelyn for her skipping duties at the B.C. Winter Games. They played their first games together at provincials at the Enderby Curling Club. “We read the rules the night before, went out and played, got on a roll and worked really well together,” said Jim. “We strung some wins together, and next thing you know, we’re off to Saskatoon.” The Vernon-based dad-daughter duo — with Jaelyn throwing the first and fifth stones, and Jim the second, third and fourth — won the provincial crown with an 8-5 win over Vancouver’s Andrew Forrest and Becky Campbell. “The good thing,” said Cotter, “is Jaelyn and I throw a lot of rocks together; I coach her junior and juvenile team, and we go out and practise lots. When we got into B.C. provincials, it was very comfortable and easy for us. “We don’t put any expectations on ourselves. Obviously, it would be awesome to win and get there, but just the opportunity to play with my daughter is a phenomenal feeling. I’ve never been so excited to curl at this time of year.” Former Vernon curler Dave Stephenson is into the semifinals at the 2016 Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships in Digby, NS. Stephenson throws third rocks for Bob Ursel’s Kelowna rink, which went 3-1 in the championship round, securing a final four berth, after going 4-2 in the round-robin. Ursel handed Ontario’s Bryan Cochrane his first loss of the championships, 8-2, Friday morning, then lost 6-0 to Manitoba’s Randy Neufeld Friday afternoon. Ursel played either Cochrane or Neufeld in a semifinal Saturday morning, with Cochrane or Neufeld taking on Nova Scotia’s Alan O’Leary in the other semi. Vernon’s Sherry Heath, throwing lead rocks for Kelowna’s Diane Foster at the Canadian Senior Women’s Championships in Digby, helped B.C. finish third out of six in the consolation, or seeding, pool, with a 2-1 mark. Foster beat Debbie Moss of the Northwest Territories 7-3
and Peggy Taylor of Northern Ontarior 8-2 before losing 6-4 in her final game Friday to Leslie Grant of the Yukon. Foster finished the 14-team championship with an overall record of 4-5. ---with files from the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
Love’s Vernon junior rink takes Pot of Gold
Youth beat experience in the A final of the 60th annual Pot of Gold Bonspiel at the Armstrong Curling Club. Thomas Love and his Vernon junior squad, which includes Eric Colwell, Johnathan Schwartz and Armsrong’s Brenden Chapple, beat a Kamloops masters team, skipped by Wayne Saboe, 4-1 in the A. Bennett Systems and Design A final. Love has represented the zone at the last two provincial junior curling finals. Saboe was the 1963 Canadian junior champion, amassing an unmatched 28-0 playoff record that year, and would play in the 1970 Brier with Canadian legend Hec Gervais. The final game was all about controlling the hammer. The CW Forestry-sponsored B final featured a team of local seniors, skipped by Rich Medhurst, taking on the Darcy Hoffman team from Kelowna. Medhurst took three in the first end, added a four-pointer in the third and clinched the game with a single in the seventh for an 8–6 victory. Ironically, Medhurst – the 1972 Pot of Gold champion – and his third, Don Cominetti, won the competitive event with two relatively new curlers: lead Derby Danyk is in his first year of curling and second Jake Konrad in his third year. The Noble Tractor C event featured John Campbell’s Armstrong team of Wayne and Dennis Heinrichs and Dave Gray playing against the Dennis Mori team from Vernon. After four ends the score stood at 4-1 for the local boys. Campbell put the game out of reach with a further steal of four in the fifth and the Mori team chose to shake hands and both teams headed upstairs for a well-deserved rest. The 60th annual Pot of Gold was well attended with a full field of 32 teams taking to the ice.

UBCO ATHLETICS
Katie Wuutunee of the women’s volleyball team and Mitch Goodwin of the men’s basketball team are the Heat Athletes-of-the-Year.
Goodwin big for Heat UBCO Heat Athletics
Katie Wuttunee and Mitch Goodwin each had exceptional seasons in Canada West varsity sports. On Tuesday night, at the Heat’s annual banquet, the two were honoured with UBC Okanagan’s highest athletic awards. Wuttunee, a graduating member of the Heat women’s volleyball squad, was named the school’s outstanding female athlete of the year, while Goodwin, a fourth-year guard and former Pleasant Valley Saint, with the men’s basketball squad, was cited as the Heat’s top male athlete for 2015-16. In addition being named a Canada West and all-Canadian first-team all-star, Wuttunee helped the Heat to its first ever medal in CIS competition—a bronze at nationals in Brandon. “There are a lot of other very talented athletes that were in that pool of finalists,” Wuttunee said of winning the award. “Honestly, I’m just so honoured to be amongst them. It’s a tribute to my coaching staff, my teammates, and everyone who got me here. “I’m not one to get caught up in personal achievements because it’s a team sport,” added Wuttunee, the 6-foot-3 middle blocker from North Vancouver. “I think winning the bronze medal, I could just have that and I would be so, so happy. The bronze meant the most to me and it showed the most character from a team standpoint.”
Goodwin, the captain of the Heat men’s basketball squad and the only fourth-year player, averaged more than 27 minutes and 12 points in starting all 20 conference games. The 6-foot-2 Goodwin anchored the backcourt while leading the Heat to its best season in the program’s brief CIS history with an 8-12 record. “It’s quite an honour to receive this award, going against all these other male athletes who have accomplished some amazing things throughout the season,” said Goodwin, a Kelowna product and graduate of KSS. “But I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my teammates, the training staff and the administration staff.” Other Heat award winners were: n Student Athlete of the Year, female—Katy Klomps (volleyball) and Carolyn Lee (golf). n Student Athlete of the Year, male—Lars Bornemann (volleyball) n Graduating Player of the Year, female—Kailin Jones and Chandler Proch (volleyball). n Graduating Player of the Year, male—Harrison Shrimpton (soccer) n Rookie of the Year, female—Joella Kobilschke (soccer) n Rookie of the Year, male—Eli Risso (volleyball).
Clippers brush back Warriors 4-1 Morning Star Staff
The Nanaimo Clippers dispatched the West Kelowna Warriors 4-1 in B.C. Hockey League playoff action before 1,327 fans Thursday night at Royal LePage Place. It was Nanaimo’s 12th straight road win and their ninth consecutive victory overall. Both teams were 1-1 in the double round-robin which resumed Saturday night with Nanaimo hosting the 0-1 Chilliwack Chiefs. The first two teams reaching three wins advance to the bestof-seven Fred Page Cup championship series. Conner Sodergren of the Warriors and Sheldon Rempal of the Clippers traded first-period goals. Sodergren fired a shot from the slot that bounced off goaltender Evan Johnson, up in the air and dropped over the line. Rempal equalized on a nifty deflection. The teams were scoreless in the second, with the highlight for the Clippers a fantastic glove save from Johnson off Garrett
Forster from point-blank range. Matt Hoover came off the left wall midway through the third period to beat Matthew Greenfield in tight on a backhand and give the Clippers their first lead. Hoover, with 70 seconds to play, and Rempal, 14 seconds later, scored empty netters. West Kelowna outshot Nanaimo 37-33 with the top two penalty killing teams in the playoffs doing their job with the Clippers (first) going 3-for-3 and the Warriors (second) 5-for-5. Evan Johnson, Hoover and West Kelowna goalie Matthew Greenfield were the three stars, Nanaimo won both meetings with Chilliwack in the regular season. The Chiefs visit the Warriors on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Coquitlam Express goalie Tyger Howat has signed a scholarship deal with the Northern Michigan Wildcats. Howat, 20, of Newport, R.I., went 9-12-1 with a .909 save percetange this season.

Is there really a difference with commercial pet foods? Deciding which Pet food to feed can be an overwhelming decision for many pet owners. Marketing whether on TV, internet or just through the packaging can create much confusion. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you are feeding your pet not yourself. Your human dietary preferences should not come into play. Cats and dogs have different nutritional requirements, and we need to pay attention to the nutritional breakdown of each diet to ensure appropriate percentages of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals are included. Just because the TV or the Pet Food sales person states the virtues of a specific diet, doesn’t necessarily mean it is the best diet for your pet. Make sure that scientific studies have been done to support their claim. Also make sure that food trials have been completed during their research. You certainly would not want your pet to be their guinea pig (so to speak). Your veterinarian is the best source for nutritional information. They will take into account your pet`s age, health status and lifestyle and make recommendations from there. There are many quality commercial foods available and we will help guide you to the best diet for your pet.

With an improvement of nearly 10 per cent in team speed compared to the previous year, many of the categories for awards were difficult to decide a winner in as there were multiple deserving candidates. The winners of the Vortex awards this year are: Most Improved – Tadhg Boyle. With hard work on the ice this season Boyle improved his top end speed by 17 per cent; Sportsmanship – Lauryn Eddy. Eddy showed up for every practice ready to work and with a smile on her face, her positive attitude and enthusiasm was infectious and a real benefit to her team; Highest Achievement – Daniel Hall. He won the provincial long track championship and was second in the short track championship; PB Challenge – Laura Hall. She won the award based on consistent year-long improvement both during club practices and competitions. The season had many highlights to build on for the next season, and the Vortex team is looking forward to even greater accomplishments next season with the help of sponsors, Interior Savings and Mackenzie Financial.

You may have noticed quite a few dog pillows/kids’ lounging floor pillows around our Lumby Community Thrift Store lately. With Mighty Molly at her side, Christine cut fabric, stuffed and sewed these giant pillows at a great price. She also makes “pocket purses” of many different types of pockets — check out her handiwork here at the store. We also have a variety of handmade throws and blankets that are quilted, crocheted and knitted. Throw in a toss cushion or two and you’re all set for a cozy nest. Our spring/summer attire is slowly making an appearance and what an awesome collection it is — come on in and you’ll see what I mean. We host an annual Royal Tea every July in honour of our
seniors. We’ll have a wide variety of special items for the silent auction, and sometimes we even have a tarot card or tea leaf reader and we always have live entertainment. This Royal Tea is complete with a luncheon fit for royalty and includes dainty sandwiches, petit fours, fruit and baked sweets with coffee and tea. All of this at no charge! We do ask that you bring cash for the silent auction. Don’t forget to get your spring hat or fascinator ready for your outfit. For your new look, Lumby Thrift is likely to be the only place you need to shop for jewels, dresses, skirts, gowns, hats, purses and whatever else you may require. The date is yet to be set but I’ll keep you posted. Proceeds from the silent auction are donated to our Lumby Health Centre so that they may continue their health workshops,
If you’ve started making plans for this year’s garden, why not consider planting an extra row for those in need. Athough the Armstrong Food Initiative Society (AFIS) won’t be starting the Produce Sharing Program at the Community Garden behind the red caboose until July 11, it is encouraging anyone who has room in their garden to plant an extra row or two this year. Any excess produce can then be brought to the volunteers at the Community Garden between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Mondays. “From 10 a.m. to noon, this will be passed on to anyone who does not have access to fresh fruits and

vegetables,” said Jill de la Salle, with AFIS. “Some people do not have room for a garden or are no longer able to tend one, so this is a great way for them to get their fresh produce — some early crops like lettuce, spinach, radishes or rhubarb do very well.” Now in its eighth year, the program will run every Monday from July 11 to Oct. 3. Anyone who would like to help with the weighing and distributing of produce on Mondays is more than welcome. “Sharing produce not only provides people with fresh locally grown food but generates a conversation about growing food, preparing food and storing food.” If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact de la Salle at 250-546-8335.

Market promotes healthy living Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
At Crunch Time Market, it’s all about growing healthy communities from the farm to the fork. Owner Lyle Downey opened the warehouse store in 2011, after moving to the Okanagan with his wife Lorinda and their young children. “With a growing family, Lorinda and I wanted to experience the Okanagan lifestyle while being closer to her family,” said Downey. “She was raised in the area so it seemed like a great place to experience together.” Because starting a business can take time to develop, Downey worked part-time at a local credit union while launching his business plan in June 2011. “Our business expanded quickly and I was able to cross the bridge to full-time selfemployment within a couple of months,” he said. “It’s been very exciting to build something from the ground up.” Crunch Time Market is located in a familiar North Okanagan landmark, the former home of Armstrong Cheese. Downey has designed the store to help feed the need for healthy natural foods. “Everyone deserves access to a wide selection of fruits, vegetables and healthy cooking ingredients,” said Downey. “Crunch Time Market is not just a store, and it’s never putting profits above people. We have high core values for supporting our local agricultural system, global environment sustainability, and many other important food-related causes. “We are always looking to support nonprofits and sponsor groups looking to increase healthy living habits.” Currently, Crunch Time’s main business is aimed at the wholesale market, selling to locally owned independent restaurants and grocery stores. “We wanted to build volume first and establish a strong customer base before expanding into our other community-based products and services,” he said. “Now we are established and have all of the tools to push forward into our other ventures. “We have phenomenal growth plans and we’re looking at doing a marketing agency for local farmers who want to push out to the wholesale market. We are also looking at setting up a production line for pickling and canning. We have a lot of space here and we want to take advantage of it.”

Lyle and Dorinda Downey, Crunch time Market owners, take a moment to relax with their four children in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park.
“We have a large network of local farms that supply us during the growing season.” — Lyle Downey
At this time of year, Downey’s most popular produce items are apples, bananas, oranges, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, romaine lettuce, potatoes, onions and zucchini. “We sell only the highest quality fresh fruits, vegetables and cooking ingredients,” he said. “We have a large network of local farms that supply us during the growing season. I also have strong ties for imported product so we can provide year-round service and tropical flavours.” Product costs are closely monitored and
Downey said he’s noticed a larger than normal increase from the international markets. Whenever possible, customers are advised to be flexible with ingredients. “We always have good deals on produce — it just might not be something people are familiar with. Lots of our restaurants have been successful using vegetables that don’t have such swings in price.” Crunch Time has six full-time employees at this time of year, with a fluctuating base of seasonal employees to help during the summer season. Growing up on a multi-crop vegetable
farm in Chilliwack, Downey’s interest in farm-fresh food started at a young age. Now 30, he started Crunch Time when he was jut 26-years-old. As a vegetarian, athlete and fitness coach, he is excited to share his personal experiences with the community that he now calls home. “We have four wonderful children who are all interested in community health and food sustainability,” said Downey. “Lorinda helps with the product buying and accounting. We are a very active family that is leading by example. “We have found the local community to give huge support and appreciate the system we are building. I feel like everyone deserves access to healthy food so we are always supporting non-profits and fundraising opportunities. Our community supports will only get deeper as our business grows.”

Financial planning becomes easier because most of your expenses are stable and predictable – but ensure you plan for the unexpected like a sudden health issue or major repair bill and periodically review your spending plan to ensure you’ve captured all your costs, including the effects of inflation. Winding down In this phase, folks usually slow down due to declining health or finances. You’ll find yourself thinking more and more about the financial and other legacies you’ll leave. Do what you can to maintain and improve

So be sure to understand your health care options and choices, especially what would happen if you become chronically or acutely ill. These three phases of retirement aren’t necessarily linear. For example, if a significant health event led to retirement, you may live for a time like you’re in phase three but with recovery, move back to phase one. And keep in mind that your spouse may not always be in the same phase as you.

The latest airline scheduled to take off from the Okanagan Valley is New Leaf.
New Leaf approved ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press
Discount airline New Leaf has been given the go-ahead to re-start selling tickets for its low-cost flights to and from seven Canadian cities, including Kelowna. Winnipeg-based New Leaf, which announced in January that it would start offering seats on its flights with fares as low as $89, abruptly stopped sales a short time later and before its first planes even took off when the Canadian Transportation Agency announced it would review licensing requirements for in-direct air service carriers such as New Leaf. The company planned to use Kelowna’s Flair Air as its actual carrier and sell seats on planes operated by Flair Air. With the announcement late Tuesday that New Leaf can continue with its business plan without have to have its own airline license, the
company is set to start selling tickets again. “This is a victory for Canadian travelers,” said New Leaf CEO Jim Young. “We are determined to bring lowcost air travel pricing to the Canadian marketplace. With the completion of the CTA review, we will resume booking in the very near future.” No date was immediately announced as to when tickets sales will start or when the first flights will take place. New Leaf plans to fly between Kelowna and Abbotsford, Halifax, Hamilton, Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. It has announced fares ranging between $89 one-way and $149 one-way. Extra fees would be charged for everything from on-board snacks and drinks to luggage, both checked bags and and carry-ons too big to fit under a seat on the plane.
The B.C. Women Lead conference has a full agenda set for this year. The event runs Friday at the Ellison Community Hall behind Kelowna International Airport. “With strong networking, and space for movement and integration, as well as the Take it to the Wall concept for group wisdom gathering, the hall will be electric with motivated women in business,” said Deb Leroux, founder of B.C.

Besides handling human cargo with a gentleness that belied his size, his other duties were as a member of the 53-person crew aboard the Aranui III, the only purpose-built passenger freighter of its kind in French Polynesia. The Marquesas Islands Because of their relative isolation, this volcanic-inspired archipelago still echoes old Polynesia. With a population of about 8,000, the Marquesas have not yet succumbed to resort developments that have reconfigured Moorea and Bora Bora into paradise holiday camps. In fact, many of the smaller islands are virtually untouched since early European discovery and what tourism industry there is, centres largely around the Aranui’s arrival. Other cruise ships may call at some of the islands, but

Dancers perform for visitors in the Marquesas Islands, which are 4,800 kilometres from the west coast of Mexico. Below, the islands have a rich culture.
the Aranui is the only passenger-oriented ship making regular trips — 16 a year— to all the populated islands. And since many of the crew are descendants of those Polynesians who first settled here, the ship’s arrival feels like a home-coming in which
passengers are welcome participants. Cruising The Aranui cruising experience should be judged not by its amenities but for its experience. Accommodations aren’t plush but perfectly adequate — a mix of suites and cabins as well dormitory style rooms with bunk beds. There’s an outdoor swimming pool, a lounge-library as well as a small bar, and an even tinier gym. Meals are taken family style in a bright and airy dining room; it is where you really come to appreciate the gracious hospitality of the crew as well as the international scope of passengers. Expect an over abundance of French
(this is still a French outpost) alongside a fair number of Americans plus a sprinkling of Germans, Swiss, Dutch, Australians, among others. The Aranui Band offer impromptu music-under-the-stars whenever two or three crew members have downtime, and whenever passengers can be cajoled into a talent show. There are also guest lecturers and other evening activities such as different ways to tie a pareu (sarong). Not exactly scintillating but after a full day of exploring, early nights quickly become part of the itinerary. Ship to Shore Aranui passengers
have become a tourism essential and certainly, the ship’s all-inclusive itineraries let you take in as much (or as little) of the local culture as you like. Nearly every island has its specialty; some are better for hikes and historical sites while others are offer black pearls, Tiki carvings and shell jewelry. At almost every port, local artisans will set up shop under the shade of a palm frond while the community stages a cultural presentation whether basket weaving, or dancing troupes of slender young women with swaying grass skirts and warrior men in leaf skirts, ferociously thumping their feet on the ground. If you have a jaded eye, you might feel that some of their efforts to present authentic Polynesia are overly staged. But the Aranui experience is certainly not. It offers one of the few remaining ways to really touch old Polynesia — its customs, its grace and its languishing humidity. And The Marquesas are still an exotic reality about as far removed from the rest of the world as you can get. Chris McBeath is with Travel Writers’ Tales

OC budget hits new high Morning Star Staff
Okanagan College has adopted its first $100 million budget. Officials say the budget will create additional capacity for international and domestic students and provides additional financial aid support for students at each of its four campuses. “There is an important message in this budget,” said president Jim Hamilton. “Through collaboration between departments, through dedication, through looking Jim Hamilton at opportunities Okanagan College has found ways to continue to grow access and support our goal of diversifying the institution.” The budget also contains an allocation for an additional 3.7 full-time equivalent staff members in the financial aid department and in the finance
department to assist adult basic education and English as a second language students as they apply for bursaries and grants to offset tuition fees announced earlier this year. Financial aid will now have a physical presence on all four campuses. “We started the budget process several months ago with a gap of about $2 million we needed to wrestle with, and we have found a way to address that and continue to build Okanagan College,” said Roy Daykin, vice-president of finance and administration. Additional capacity for both domestic and international students will be added in network and telecommunications engineering technology, electronic engineering technology, computer information systems, and business administration, requiring five additional instructor positions. International recruitment and advising will also grow by 1.7 full-time equivalent positions to expand recruitment efforts and to increase advising services to students.

North Westside taxes increase Morning Star Staff
North Westside residents will pay more in taxes. The Regional District of Central Okanagan has approved a $63.1 million budget for 2016, including $619 in taxes for a North Westside home assessed at $512,000, or an extra $96. “The regional board fully supports our new financial plan
which provides the continued effective and efficient delivery of high quality services on behalf of all Central Okanagan residents,” said Gail Given, chairperson. Member municipalities are paying less for electoral area planning which has led to the tax increase for North Westside electoral area residents. “It should be noted that in
2015, the electoral areas benefitted from a large decrease in taxes when the municipalities opted in as full participants in electoral area planning,” states a release. The budget provides $11.5 million in various capital project spending this year, including $3 million for a major upgrade to the Killiney Beach Water System.

Association to host the only hillclimb in B.C. again this year,” said Brad Baker, race director. “The event pits racers against the clock negotiating a track laced with technical features and a steep climb up a black diamond ski run to the finish.” The weekend will start Friday with a mini-sled race for the kids, a vintage snowmobile parade, and a 50/50 Black-Out Race where competitors go head-to-head under the lights. Qualifying races are scheduled for Saturday and on April 10, the race finals and the King of the Hill capstone race are scheduled. “King of the Hill is the grand finale,” said Baker. “It’s the top pro riders going for the title. They pick their own line to the finish versus following the set course.” Other weekend activities include displays, demonstrations and a beer garden. “We’re expecting a large spectator crowd for the event,” said Baker. “There will be something for everyone over the three days — sled and snowbike racing, fireworks and even a mechanical bull.” Online registration for the SilverStar Hillclimb event is currently open at www.skisilverstar.com.

An Enderby church has become fully accessible and that means it’s time to celebrate. The entire community is invited to St. Andrew’s United Church Saturday at 2 p.m. for the unveiling of the new elevator. “After three years of study, work, construction and support, we are very excited to say that the project is completed,” said Lorraine Powell, with the accessibility project committee. The need for an elevator arose because some members of the congregation and the community were experiencing mobility issues and the stairs were proving challenging. “One of our young people in a wheelchair was not able to come to the gatherings in the dining room and a number are needing to use walkers,” said Wendy Norlin, with the accessibility project committee. “We identified 14 organizations that use our building and their members were not able to access the dinning room because of stairs. As well, the food bank had to interview clients in their cars because the building was not accessible.” It was decided to install an elevator on the north side of the church at a cost of $69,000. Grant applications were submitted and fundraising began. “Our youth became excited, taking the lead and they held several fundraising events,” said Powell. A federal accessibility grant was received, together with grants from the Community Foundation of North Okanagan and the Enderby Lions Club. “An appeal to the community was made for help, with a great response,” said Norlin. “Our own United Church Women, youth group, our church community, MacKenzie Camp, Women in Motion, and numerous individuals responded. A big thank you for all of the help.”

BMX club offers valley support Morning Star Staff
BMX enthusiasts from the North Okanagan are rallying around their counterparts in the South Okanagan. The Vernon BMX Club is endorsing plans for a larger track in Penticton. “The Penticton track is just too small and tight to make it overly attractive at this point to the majority of seasoned riders who travel for points throughout — Shylo Orchard the district and even farther,” said Shylo Orchard, Vernon club president. “If the Penticton BMX Club is successful in their bid to build a larger track, Vernon will definitely be there to support them in their new endeavor. Our members will attend more of their races including a possible national event if they get the space. Right now, their track is just not suitable for racing at that level.” Orchard says the BMX community in B.C. is united. “The Vernon club is committed to supporting the Penticton club with this project and hopes their city council makes the right decision and gives them the go-ahead for new track space in their community. BMX is a great family sport that keeps kids and adults active and allows them to have fun and continuously strive to build their skills and set goals.”
“The Penticton track is just too small...”

Macy Burke clearly remembers the day that Bunni joined her family. The six-yearold dog was sassy and full of life. “After about a month, we all developed an unbreakable bond with her,” said Burke. “She loved to play outside, go for car rides and go for walks.” The feisty dog also had a habit of picking on animals much larger than her, such as deer, and was trampled many times, losing an eye in one such dispute. It never stopped her from enjoying life. But just after her 14th birthday, Burke and her family could see that their beloved dog was struggling. Her hips were bothering her and she was starting to lose her hearing. When the decision was made to have the elderly dog euthanized, Burke turned to a family friend, Karin Blythe, who runs Halo Aftercare & Pet Cremation in Armstrong. “She was my baby — the thought of putting her down was very difficult,” said Burke. An appointment was made for Jan. 29, 2016 at Armstrong Veterinary Clinic. “I spent every last moment with her — I even gave her some red velvet cake,” said Burke. “Bev from the clinic was absolutely amazing in handling our situation. Karin met us there and she made this experience a lot less painful than I had anticipated. “I was reassured knowing that Bunni would be cared for and surrounded with love through every step of her afterlife. Thank you ever so much, Karin — I will never be able to fully express my gratitude and appreciation for such a wonderful and heartfelt experience.” The idea for a pet cremation and aftercare business began when Blythe needed final care for her much-loved cat. At the time, the opportunity to be with her pet at the end wasn’t available. “I felt there were probably other pet families who would be comforted by having the option to stay with their pet as well,” she said. “For many people, witnessing the cremation process helps to give a sense of closure.” Blythe and her husband, Chris, share their Armstrong home with two large dogs, Baxter and Murphy; cats Thomas and Sadie; and some “adorable” French bantam chickens. She has felt a deep connection to animals since childhood. “I always preferred to play dress-up with my cat, and ride with my bunny in my bike basket instead of playing with toys,” said Blythe. “During my teen years, my dog

Karin Blythe, owner of Halo Aftercare & Pet Cremation in Armstrong, with her “grand-doggie,” Dobbson (left), and her dogs Murphy and Baxter. Tammy was my best friend and companion wherever I went. Over the past 25 or more years, we’ve been fortunate to share our lives with many more pets. Some came to us as unwanted pets or strays, some of them have been chosen, but all of them have found a special place in our hearts and memories.” Blythe said in their short lives, pets give so much — their friendship, unselfish love and total loyalty. “There comes a time when we must give back to them — their peace, their freedom and their dignity. It’s the most difficult, but most loving final decision we can make for them,” she said. “We wanted to allow the opportunity for pet families to participate in the final goodbye as much or as little as they feel comfortable with. “Our hope is that we provide pet families with the support they need to find peace, and the confidence that their cherished pet has been cared for in the most loving way possible.” Halo is a member of Pet Loss Professionals Alliance (PLPA), a group of pet-loss care providers who are working to foster a high level of ethics and training within the cremation business. “They ensure that members are held
to the same high standards and ethics as human crematoriums and funeral homes. PLPA provides educational resources and training for industry members, which keeps our qualifications and skills current,” said Blythe. Halo offers a variety of services, from private cremation to witnessed cremation. Additional options can include a keepsake plaster pawprint and a published obituary in the newspaper. Blythe understands how difficult it is to say goodbye to a beloved pet and so the company offers a final farewell at a private viewing and visitation. A comfortable quiet room is available at the facility to accommodate family and friends who would like to share a meaningful goodbye to their faithful companion. Families are welcome to stay during the cremation process. “We are proud to offer the most compassionate and professional cremation services available,” said Blythe. “Whether you are planning ahead or your needs are immediate, we are here to support and guide you through the difficult process of honouring and remembering your pet.” She said the greatest reward in doing this type of work is knowing that in some small

As well, a “Memory Lane” page is where anyone who has lost a pet can post a free tribute and picture of their pet. The “Memorials” page offers ideas on ways to remember and celebrate your pets. Blythe said some people choose to scatter or bury their pet’s ashes in a place that is special to them, such as a garden where their pet liked to sleep, or maybe a trail where they hiked together. Others decide to keep their pet’s ashes in a box, urn or pendant. Blythe said when a pet owner chooses communal cremation, the pet is cremated with other loved pets. “In this case, the ashes are not returned but are spread on our peaceful acreage overlooking the beautiful Spallumcheen Valley, completing the circle of life,” she said.

looked after in a caring and dignified way.” For Naoko Hoshi, saying goodbye to her beloved cat, Mumsie, was difficult and she was glad to have Blythe’s support on her pet’s final journey. “Mumsie sadly passed away November 29, 2015, but not before living an incredibly full and rich life,” said Hoshi. “She was one of three cats to be abandoned at O’Keefe Ranch more than 10 years ago. Two of them were pregnant at the time and one of them was Mumsie.” Ken Mather was ranch manager at the time and he and his family took in the cats, which included Mumsie and her pregnant sister, Bonita. The kittens were given to good homes on Mother’s Day that year and eventually, Mumsie came to live with Hoshi. “She was called Mumsie because she would nurse Bonita’s kittens as well as her own,” said Hoshi. “She loved warm laps, loved all human beings, and loved the outdoors.” While Hoshi loves animals, most members of her family do not, but Mumsie won them over almost immediately.
“My grumpy brother, who is allergic to cats, would let her sit on his lap every night, and my even grumpier father would clean her fur with a damp cloth,” she said. For everyone who had experienced Mumsie’s love and companionship, it was a sad day when she died. Hoshi said her family is unwilling to welcome a new cat into their home because Mumsie was so special to them and because of the pain of losing her. “The Japanese traditionally cremate their loved ones so my mother was adamant about cremation,” said Hoshi. “Thanks to the support and compassion of Halo Pet Cremation, I was not only able to grant my mother’s wishes in a timely manner but able to spread Mumsie’s ashes in our yard, a place she had spent many warm afternoons exploring and enjoying in the last months of her life. She was a very special cat and I am very lucky to have had her in my life.” As someone who loves animals, Blythe said it is always difficult to see a family suffering heartache after the death of a cherished pet. “Our goal is to provide them with the compassion and support that will help to make the process a little easier,” she said. “Sometimes it’s the little details that can help to ease the anxiety that many people feel when making final arrangements for their pet, and we strive to accommodate all special requests.” For more information, see Halo’s Facebook page or go to www.halopet.ca

Cherryville many be thousands of kilometres from Taiwan, but the island off the coast of mainland China is getting a view of this side of the Pacific thanks to a local artist. Gary Whitley, whose home and studio is located on Highway 6 in Cherryville, is currently showing two of his paintings at an international exhibition called Migration at the National Taiwan Arts Education Centre in Taipei City. Hosted by the Canadian alumni of the National Taiwan Normal University Department of Fine Art, a number of North American artists, including six from B.C., are represented in the show. “Some are alumni who graduated from the university but now live in the U.S. and Canada,” said Whitley. Whitley heard about the exhibition through his agent Mila Kostic, a Vancouver artist who is also showing her work in the show. This is the second time in recent months that Whitley has had his work exhibited in that part of the world. Last fall, he joined Vernon artist Michael Jell and 10 other B.C. member artists from the Canadian Federation of Artists in showing their work at the Pacific Rim Arts Exchange Show in Tianjin, China. The artists’ work was purchased and then shipped over to China to be displayed in a 5,000-square metre ground floor hall in the city’s 15,000 squaremetre Art and Technology Museum.

Vernon Paddling Centre braces for film fest
Some of the best films on the water will be screened when the Reel Paddling Film Festival World Tour arrives in Vernon Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
With paddling season about to start, those interested in non-motorized water sport will be enticed to hit the water while watching the Reel Paddling Film Festival. Hosted by the Vernon Paddling Centre (VPC), selected films from the festival’s 2016 World Tour are being screened at the Vernon Towne Cinema April 14. Audiences will be able to watch as some of the world’s top kayakers and canoeists tackle rapids or the perfect wave or paddle some of Canada’s most beautiful rivers. The popular sports of stand-up paddle boarding and outrigger canoeing will also be represented. “The VPC hosted the film festival last year for the first time and it was a great success,” said VPC president Diana Wilson. “Over 150 people attended the event at the Towne theatre and the feedback from the event was very positive.” This year, the VPC hopes to sell out all 400 seats in the theatre. “We have lined up over $700 in door prizes and will be auctioning off a Kal Tire gift certificate for a brand new set of four Nokian tires,

Proceeds from this year’s festival will help the club purchase materials necessary for its new, improved compound in Paddlewheel Park on Okanagan Landing Road. “We are shifting from our current compound, which is directly past the tennis courts at Paddlewheel Park, to an adjoining lot that is much closer to the water,” said Wilson. “This move is very important to the club as it dramatically improves safety, significantly expands our capacity, and improves overall accessibility to the sport of paddling. The move also enables our club to be more visible in the community.” A not-for-profit organization, the VPC has been providing affordable recreational paddling to the Greater Vernon community for more than 20 years. Club members enjoy outrigger canoeing as well as other paddling sports such as stand-up paddle boarding.
“I joined the paddling club seven years ago and can’t imagine my life without this very fun and social group of people,” said Wilson, who has been president of the VPC the past four years. “There are many opportunities for club members to participate in recreational paddling, but for those that are more competitive, there is also a racing component to the club.” The club holds paddling clinics during the year and its experienced coaches work with members who are interested in racing, added Wilson. “I have had the opportunity to participate in a number of races in the Interior region and even hope to race in Hawaii one day,” she said. The VPC is always looking for new members and seeking ways to promote the club and expand its programs. “Our inventory of boats includes six-person, two-person and single outrigger canoes,

stand-up paddle boards and surf skis. We hold group paddles throughout the week and invite anyone to come out and join us,” said Wilson. The club also offers rental space for those who wish to keep their own canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and other paddle craft in a protected area located by Okanagan Lake, said longtime VPC member Bob Woodman. Doors to the Reel Paddling Film Festival open at the Towne Cinema Thursday, April 14 at 6:30 p.m., with films starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance at the Towne Cinema, the Bean Scene, True Outdoors and Valhalla Pure Outfitters, or $15 at the door. Those interested in trying out outrigger canoeing can contact the club at info@ vernonpaddlingcentre.ca or attend its open house event, June 5 from 10 a.m. to noon at Paddlewheel Park.

Script is more batty than super Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
W
hen the world was first introduced to Superman (Henry Cavill) it was by way of his battle with a force of alien invaders, fellow Kryptonians gone rogue. Although the fledgling superhero was victorious, Metropolis and its citizens paid so heavy a Taylor and Howe price that it cast worldwide doubt on Superman’s virtue. Across the bay, in the city of Gotham, the Batman (Ben Affleck) joins the ranks of non-believers and seeks to personally test Superman’s abilities. We say, “It could be the start of something better.” HOWE: Ben Affleck as Batman is nearly as ridiculous as Val Kilmer playing the role, but for some reason I found that it worked. In some instances, I found Affleck played him better than Christian Bale. He didn’t have to put on a silly, low, growly voice due to a voice changer made by his assistant Alfred (Jeremy Irons). Affleck’s acting skills were a little more believable, if that is possible in a comic book movie, and he didn’t seem full of himself or over-act the part. TAYLOR: That’s because he didn’t do anything. Straight face, stare ahead, don’t blink, cut! It’s workable. He sort of made it his own, but we’re talking about Bruce Wayne. Once you put the mask
Reel ReviewS
Warner bros.
Ben Affleck fills Batman’s cowl and then some in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. on Affleck and his swollen face is visibly shaking around, it becomes comically distracting. However, I will say this, no one in this movie is aware they’re in a terrible movie. Everyone is taking this very seriously and so I did too, but then it became a cavalcade of disappointment. HOWE: Even though the movie is nearly three hours long, it didn’t feel it. They touched briefly on the backstory of both Batman and Superman, where they came from, who they are, and that I didn’t mind. If introductions had gone on for an hour, that would be a different matter. There was lots of action, lots of fight scenes and bat gadgets to keep the most diehard fan semi-happy. I felt that they left the ending just at the right moment and open for the second installment. TAYLOR: That’s the thing that worries me. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
is this big expensive movie, meant to set up a Justice League franchise and it fails on a fundamental level. The effects are there: It’s modern. It’s serious. It looks fantastic. The actors are capable enough to pull of a superhero blockbuster. The problem is story related. The story is silly. It doesn’t make sense. It’s almost as if the plot is an afterthought to placing action sequences at the appropriate markers in a timeline. Superman and Batman are characters worthy of so much more than speeding pixels in a videogame death match, as are audiences. Batman has interfered in a Superman movie. I’m sure there will be more. Let’s hope they get better story tellers to write the sequels. – Taylor gives Batman v Superman 1.5 tubes of Grecian formula out of 5. – Howe gives it 3.5 unseen superhero footage out of 5.
Cherryville to Taiwan
Keep current with the Vernon Arts scene www.vernonmorningstar.com
Continued from A28 Included in that exhibition were nine of Whitley’s paintings. For the Taiwan exhibition, he is exhibiting a landscape and still life, showing a view of Roger’s Pass and sunflowers. “For me, painting is an obsession,” says Whitley. “Many of my landscapes are of the area, however, some are derived from long hours on horseback in remote high-elevation backcountry that few people have the opportunity to see. “My wife and I spend considerable time riding in the summer, all over B.C. and Alberta. My florals are a result of the extensive flower garden she has created. I also paint subject matter that I simply find interesting.”

COMPUTER RUNNING POORLY?
Although vaccines are generally regarded as among the most effective public health interventions of all time, paradoxically public confidence in safety and effectiveness of vaccines has declined in recent decades. Dr. Marcuse will review the history, origins, scope and impact of vaccine hesitancy, highlight some common concerns, and explore the relative role of science, culture and emotion in parents’ vaccine decisionmaking. THURSDAY, APRIL 7 at 7:30 p.m.

Their name is as twisted as their stage makeup, as Vernon will see when 11-time Billboard-charting rap duo Twiztid brings its Canadian Juggalo Invasion tour to 2929 Nite Club Thursday. The tour will feature performances of several of the Detroit duo’s top hits, including rap and hard-rock crossover tracks. This is Twiztid’s third and biggest tour of Canada, featuring stops in 16 cities. “If you’ve never seen Twiztid live, I’ll put it this way, it’s a raucous, highenergy and interactive night for concertgoers, to say the least. These shows aren’t just events, they’re practically parties,” said publicist Natalie Camillo. Made up of diabolical duo Jamie Madrox and Monoxide, Twiztid rose from the underground Detroit scene to seize the hip hop world with their sinister lyrics and infectious beats. Their music is a potent concoction of hardcore hiphop, rock, horror cinema with theatrical stylings – think Rob Zombie meets Insane Clown Posse meets Eminem. The duo’s most recent full-length album, The Darkness, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 charts at #29, marking Twiztid’s 11th album to debut on the Billboard Top 100 chart since 1997. With a cult following, Twiztid are also selfoperated media giants. They now independently release their own albums on their Majik Ninja Entertainment label, which was created after their split from ICP’s Psychopathic Records in 2012. Vernon can catch the macabre mania when Twiztid takes the stage Thursday at 2929, 2900 29th St. Opening is Blaze Ya Dead Homie, BoonDox, Lex The Hex Master and Trilogy with special local guest Alfy O. Doors open at 7 p.m. Starts at 8 p.m. Show is 19-plus. Tickets are $20 at the club or order at www.getqd.com/twiztidvernon/

April is National Oral Health Month. Poor oral health can affect a person’s quality of life. Oral pain, missing teeth or mouth infections can influence the way a person speaks, eats and socializes. Problems with teeth and gums can be a sign or oral cancer or can cause inflammation that affect other body organs as well. Get regular dental exams and make flossing and brushing part of your daily routine. It’s always interesting when medical academics can look at a painting from the 15th Century and diagnose a medical problem. For example, they say the model posing for the Mona Lisa had high cholesterol as evidenced by fatty tissue in the hollow of her left eye. It shows the humanity of those depicted in art. If you have first-degree relatives under 65 for men and 55 for women who had a heart attack, stroke or by-pass surgery, share this information with your doctor. You may be at increased risk of heart disease yourself based on your genetic history. Your risk is compounded by smoking and a sedentary lifestyle. We are always encouraged to keep our consumption of salt down to about 2300mg of sodium per day to maintain good blood pressure and heart health. What does 2300mg of sodium look like? It is one measuring teaspoonful of table salt. You know you are getting older when you have too much room in your house but not enough room in your medicine cabinet. If you aren’t sure if a medication is OK to keep, call our pharmacists. We can help!

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder A VOID CONTINUES TO STOP BLACKWOOD Voltaire said, “Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause.” That is a tad melodramatic. One can often calculate the chance that a contract will make, but it does sometimes need an “approximately” attached. For example, a six-spade contract that seems to rely totally on the trump finesse is not exactly 50 percent, because an opponent might be able to get a trick-one ruff. But the chance of that will be very low. In today’s deal, what is the chance that six spades will make? How should declarer plan the play after West leads the club queen?
In the auction, after North raises spades, South shouldn’t use Blackwood, because when North shows one ace, South will not know if it is the valuable diamond ace or the less useful heart ace. Instead, South should continue with four clubs, a control-bid showing a firstround control (ace or void) in that suit. Here, North control-bids four hearts, denying the diamond ace and showing the heart ace. South ends the auction with a plunge into six spades. South has three possible losers: two diamonds and one club. The club six will disappear on dummy’s heart ace, but to hold the diamond losers to one, declarer must find East with the diamond
ace -- a 50-50 chance. After winning with his club ace, South plays a trump to dummy, pitches his low club on the heart ace, then leads a diamond to his king. When it wins, declarer returns to dummy with a trump, and plays another diamond through East to get home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Jump at an opportunity to meet new people or improve your appearance or talents. A little push will encourage you to try something new. Romance will improve your personal life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Using emotional tactics to get your way may work initially, but expect to face disapproval in the end. If you want to change anyone, start with yourself first. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Recognize what you can and cannot do and head down the path of least resistance. The ideas you get while traveling or engaging in cultural events will lead to personal improvements. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll be drawn to action and determined to excel at whatever challenge you face. Your competitive mindset won’t let you down. Strive for perfection and victory.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If you keep your emotions in check, you’ll avoid making a mistake. Jealousy will cloud your vision and ruin your chance for a romantic rendezvous with someone quite special. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Someone will try to get something from you or find a way to make you look bad. Use your intelligence and ability to act fast and outmaneuver anyone who gets in your way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll encounter an unusual opportunity if you reconnect with someone from your past. Gravitate toward people who are willing to put in as much effort as you are and form a partnership with them.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Put more emphasis on personal improvements and romantic encounters, and less on what others may think or do. A relationship will grow stronger if you participate in activities that you can do together.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
ELEANOR HATTEN (who left us on April 1, 2008)
There once was a teacher Whose name was Miss Hatten, She wore blouses of crisp cotton Not blouses made of satin. The soft curls in her hair Were always perfectly done, As she greeted her students For days sprinkled with fun. All the subjects were taught As creative explorations, With critical thinking skills In each learning situation. As a colleague, she was clever As well as being very wise, With a sly sense of humour That took the staff by surprise. To say the least, my knowing her Was certainly a pleasure, And Ellie is to be remembered As one of Harwood’s treasures. (From your teaching buddy of 17 years, Grace Zubyk)

Cattle population driven by fur trade efforts

company was at the pinnacle of its power, was determined to make his fur trade forts west of the Rocky Mountains more self-

sufficient. With this in mind, he brought cattle from California to Fort Vancouver near the mouth of the Columbia to supplement the few head that had arrived in 1814. His efforts at economy did not stop there. He wanted every fort
in the interior to also raise cattle. With this in mind, he arranged to abandon Spokane House and establish a new post in a more suitable situation for agriculture. He chose a location near the Kettle Falls on the Columbia and laid out the site
of a new post, to be called Fort Colvile, after Andrew Colvile, a member of the London Committee. Fort Colvile soon established itself as the most productive agricultural post in the interior. To oversee the renewed operations in

the Columbia District, Simpson chose former North Wester, John McLoughlin, who he placed in charge at Fort Vancouver on March 19, 1825. McLoughlin’s influence over the Columbia District over the next 20 years and his encouragement of the earliest settlers in the Oregon Country, earned him the title, “The Father of Oregon.” Under his supervision, the cattle herd at Fort Vancouver increased to 200 head by 1829 and to 685 by 1837. As early as 1836, McLoughlin had placed cattle at Fort Okanogan and, further up the Columbia, Fort Colvile had large herds of cattle and pigs. Two years later, Chief Trader at Colvile, Archibald McDonald, wrote to McLoughlin that, “Your three calves are up to 55,” and added that he had acquired some, “St. Louis cows and horses.” This comment is significant, indicating that the small Spanish cattle that had been acquired by the Hudson’s Bay Company were being upgraded with the larger British breeds that were being trailed in from the eastern United States. When the 1841
United States exploring expedition under Charles Wilkes passed through Fort Colvile, an officer recorded that there were 196 Ken Mather head of “fine cattle” at the fort and 35 head of cattle at Fort Okanogan. The expedition’s botanist, WD Brackenridge, noted about the latter fort, “The soil is too poor to admit of anything being done in the farming way by Okanagan but I must say that I never beheld finer cattle in my life than I did there.” From Fort Okanogan, cattle were driven up the Brigade Trail through the Okanagan Valley to Fort Kamloops. As early as 1833, the famous naturalist, David Douglas (after whom the Douglas fir is named) traveled with a brigade that included cattle to Fort Kamloops. These may well have been the first cattle to arrive in what was to become British Columbia. There would be many more to follow them up the trail on the west side of Okanagan Lake. Ken Mather is a Spallumcheen author. He can be reached through www.kenmather.com.
