Vernon pilot survives helicopter crash RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A veteran Vernon pilot is being praised for his actions after a helicopter crashed near Lillooet. Jeff Brown, 61, was bucketing water on to the Jade Mountain wildfire, in the rugged Yalakom Valley, Thursday, when the Transwest Helicopters Bell 214B helicopter he was flying suddenly went down. “He skillfully managed an emergency landing,” said Ernst-Ulrich Maas, president of Chilliwackbased Transwest Helicopters. “That’s what saved their lives.” Brown sustained a concussion and leg injury, while the co-pilot — 27-year-old Derek Dickson of Abbotsford — received bumps and bruises. Brown — who has been released from hospital and is back home recovering — has been a pilot since 1968 and with Transwest for more than a decade. “Jeff ’s absolutely a great person to have around,” said Maas, adding that he wasn’t surprised that Brown was able to respond to the emergency. Dickson, who had been on the job for four days, is also being acknowledged for his actions.

This Bell 214B helicopter was being piloted by a Vernon man Thursday when it crashed near Lillooet. The helicopter was bucketing water on to a wildfire. “He was trained by Jeff to copilot and he got Jeff out of the
machine,” said Maas. A second helicopter was in the
area at the time of the accident and reported the information to
emergency personnel. “Extraction crews worked very quickly in getting to the two men and moving them out of further harm’s way, given the danger that the crash location posed,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, with the RCMP, in a release. “It was essentially at the fire’s edge in a very highly active fire area.” Brown and Dickson were then taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for full assessment of their injuries. An investigation into the crash is being conducted by Transport Canada. “Given the location of the crash and the unpredictability of the fire activity, it remains to be seen as to what exactly will remain of the site and the machine” said Moskaluk. Maas admits that initial word of the accident impacted everyone at his office. “Our only concern was with their safety. Machines can be replaced, people can’t,” he said. Maas lost a close friend last year when a helicopter crashed into the Fraser River near Lillooet and the pilot drowned. “Forest firefighting is inherently a dangerous job to do,” said Maas.

CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Philip (Rebel) Harnish explains what life is like living in his car at Kin Beach with muscular dystrophy and no job. Harnish has been without a fixed address since being evicted from his apartment in 2007. One friend brought a box of blueberries, which another friend turned into a blueberry pie. “I wouldn’t be alive if not for all of my friends and their support,� said Harnish. “I would like to thank everyone who has loved me and supported me. My love goes out to you all.� He lives, he says, on “a dollar to $3 a day.� Harnish collects disability, but says it’s not as much as he used to receive, around $400 a month. He uses part of the money to pay for his Blackberry, where he learned how to use the Internet in his car, where he figured out how to use other gadgets on the cell phone, where he watches TV shows like Entourage. What Harnish is looking for, he says, is a home for the rest of what’s left of his life. He doesn’t want to move around and he doesn’t want to go into an old age home or care home. He’s young, he looks after himself the best he can and he’s got that support crew going for him. What he doesn’t have is the money, and even if he had the money, he says, “the reality of it is that
someone would want about $800 a month for rent. “I’m forced to be a bum in my own country.� So, for now, he’ll stay in the Lumina, reading, visiting with friends, communicating via his Blackberry, and he’ll stay in Vernon, where Harnish first came in 1977 to visit some friends, had two sons now 25 and 20, and remember good times with good friends at local establishments. “It’s as good a place as any to live,� said Harnish.

It’s a spot he used to go to all the time with his friend, the late Willie Jack, who Harnish said owned the spot of land. “I’ve always been coming and going to Kin Beach,� said Harnish. “When I’m not here, I got a little spot on top of the mountains, if it ain’t icy and snowy and cold up there. Sometimes it’s too rough to get up and down the mountain.� Harnish passes time in his home by reading. He is currently perusing Paul Johnson’s Intellectuals – “A really interesting book,� he says, “everything you need to know about our world leaders, the good and bad side of it all.� Always the Canadian, Harnish listens exclusively to CBC on the Lumina radio. He chats with beach-goers, or with friends. He helps collect bottles left behind for an 86-year-old friend named Wes, and the money Harnish makes from the bottles, he gives to Wes to supplement Wes’s gardening needs. In return, Wes brings him coffee and donuts, and his wife will bring over some cooking. Harnish has a lot of support, he says. Friends bring him coffee and cigarettes.

he views from Philip (Rebel) Harnish’s waterfront location are beautiful. Okanagan Lake, with the hot, late-July, mid-day sun radiating off the water in front of him. In the distance, Adventure Bay. Further down the lake, Terrace Mountain. Vernon Creek gently flows metres away, where Harnish has seen a golden eagle with a massive wing span float majestically through the air. Owls are a common visitor to the large tree beside his home. A family of beavers congregates in the creek. Suffering from muscular dystrophy, Harnish, 57, spends his days confined to what has become his home, a 1992 Pontiac Lumina with, he says, more than 400,000 kilometres on it, “And that’s after having gone twice around the needle.� The Lumina is parked at Kin Beach and has been since the winter. The living room, master bedroom, kitchen and den are one and the same in Rebel’s home: the Lumina’s front seat. The back seat would be a closet, containing his clothes, and storage, which holds his wheelchair, his former mode of transportation and home for that matter. The Morning Star first introduced you to Rebel in November 2007. At the time, he was living on a disability allowance and fighting a losing battle, he says, from eviction of his Vernon apartment. He said at the time that “to be able to live in this community or any other community, you have to be making $1,500 a month.� His disability cheque was half that, $750. He ended up evicted from his apartment, claiming he went to “find my rights on it (eviction) all, when the apartment building turned into strata units, “and all I found was I had no rights.� Harnish ended up on the streets of Vernon, living in his wheelchair in alleyways, or sleeping behind the library with only a blanket and a candle to keep him warm. “There were a few frozen nights,� said Harnish, his long black hair now shorter, his moustache and goatee still gray. He ended up getting the Lumina and he’s made it his home, and though he has spent time living in the car in selected mountain spots around the North Okanagan, or staying with family in his native Nova Scotia, or with friends in the Kootenays, or a month-long stay in hospital last December with double pneumonia, he prefers Kin Beach.

Gleaning benefits those in need BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
If you’re an orchardist or someone with fruit or vegetables growing in your yard that you’re not going to consume, don’t throw out the excess. The Salvation Army is starting a gleaning program that will see volunteers gather excess produce to contribute to hampers at the House of Hope food bank. “We’re just hoping to use all the extra fruit and vegetables in the community and get more people involved,” said the Salvation Army’s Danielle Dueck. “When people volunteer, it makes them feel good and helps others as well.” The effort would see a third of what’s gathered go to another non-profit agency, a third to the grower and a third to the food bank where it can be distributed. “If the demand is there, it will be given out immediately and put into hampers,” said Dueck. It’s difficult to include produce in food hampers for most of the year so the food bank is grateful to have the chance now. “It puts smiles on our faces to be able offer fresh fruit and vegetables anytime,” said Salvation Army community ministries director David MacBain. “It makes a difference for nutrition... we want to provide good, healthy products.” The Upper Room Mission is one of the community agencies that will be receiving produce during the campaign. “I know that any food product that comes through our doors, we make use of in a variety of ways,” said Upper Room Mission executive director Chuck Harper. “We’re extremely blessed and we get to help somebody through it too so it’s a win-win.” If enough produce is gathered, there is hope some of it can be preserved through

Food dehydrators that can be loaned or donated would be much appreciated. The Salvation Army is also short of other supplies such as ladders and col-
lection containers. If you have any of the above and can spare them, call Danielle at 250-307-7770 or reach her by e-mail at d_dueck7557@hotmail.com. More volunteers are needed to gather produce as well so if you are interested in lending a hand, contact Danielle.
Rezoning bylaw takes off for lands near airport RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Mass rezoning is underway for an area near the Vernon Airport. City council has given two readings to a bylaw that would change the zoning on 12 properties on Okanagan Landing Road from airport industrial to rural residential. “This just reflects what they’ve always had there,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert of the proposed amendment. The properties had been previously zoned residential but were switched to industrial status in 2004 because of future expansion of the airport. However, the 2008 review of the official community plan determined that land on the south side of Vernon
Creek was not required for further expansion of the airport because property north of Tronson Road has been obtained for growth at the airport. A staff report also indicates that proximity to the creek also makes the potential use of the 12 properties for airport activities unlikely. The rezoning process was launched after several property owners asked for the change to rural residential. “This would bring the properties into a legally conforming state with single-family residential uses and a greenhouse operation,” said Dean Strachan, a planning assistant with the city. The city owns three of the properties. A public hearing on the proposed rezoning
bylaw will be held Sept.

Zodiac hits the water on Kalamalka Lake ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It’s bright orange, clearly marked, always carries two people and is becoming a fixture on Kalamalka Lake. Transport Canada’s Zodiac, operated by boating safety officer Chris Marrie, accompanied by one crew member, has been busy enforcing boating regulations on the lake, as well as other area waterways, and educating boaters. With RCMP reserve Const. Greg Louis on board as crew Wednesday, Marrie set
out for a day patrol of Kal and Wood lakes. As he discovered, Marrie still has work to do. “We fully checked 25 boats and only six were in compliance, so 19 were non-compliant,” said Marrie. Those 19 were directed back to shore, and four were issued violation tickets, with fines totalling close to $1,000. Tickets written were for such serious offences as towing a person without a spotter in the boat, allowing underage persons to operate a
vessel such as a sea-doo (age limit is 16) and not having enough life jackets on the vessel. “The top-four offences I’ve seen this summer are no operator cards on board, not enough life jackets, especially Canadianapproved jackets, towing offences such as towing without a spotter, and boaters getting too close to helicopters and water bombers when they’re fighting forest fires,” said Marrie, the latter referring to incidents on Okanagan Lake this summer in regards to fires in West Kelowna
and Peachland. The reason Kal Lake is getting regular patrols from the Zodiac is the result of a lake watch program instituted by the City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit, which identified the lake as a problem area due to a number of
reports and complaints from the public. “We’re doing proactive patrols on the lake as a consequence of people not practising safe boating,” said Marrie. “We’re making good use of the boat out on the lake.” Eve n with Wednesday’s numbers,
Marrie said word about safe boating is starting to click in with boaters. “The word’s getting out,” he said. “We’ve heard from boat dealers that their customers are seeing us out on the lake and the response has been good. People are happy to see us out on the water.”
Boating fines range between $115 and $575. The Zodiac also patrols Mabel Lake and the Shuswap River.

Parks and recreation restructuring continues nance there. “If we can’t reach agreement on this, we’re likely to leave it at the regional table,” said Leon Gous, the city’s chief administrative officer. Another matter that must still be worked out is the governance of any restructured service.

Bailey Road intersection focus of review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Government officials are looking into possible changes to a dangerous stretch of Highway 97. Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, says he has been working with the Ministry of Transportation to review conditions at the highway and Bailey Road. “They are quite a ways into the process now. They have done traffic counts,” he said. “I want a proper engineering and technical study done. Once the study is done, it will provide all of the options.”
Foster says he asked the ministry, in conjunction with ICBC and the RCMP, to study the intersection after a Kelowna resident died at the Predator Ridge turnoff June 7. Foster wouldn’t speculate on what measures may be taken to enhance safety. “You want to minimize the number of traffic lights but if the study indicates that’s what is necessary, it will have to be looked at,” he said. Some City of Vernon officials have suggested that the intersection needs to be changed so only right-in and right-
out traffic is allowed. However, that concept isn’t going over well with a resident of that area. Don Matheson says eliminating left-turns off the highway would force people wanting to go to Predator Ridge or Sparkling Hill to go all the way into Vernon and then backtrack on Commonage Road. “There’s a major development at Predator Ridge and can you imagine a visitor coming from the airport and they can’t turn off to get to it?” he said. Matheson fears people could start making U-turns on the high-
way to access Bailey Road if left-turns aren’t allowed. “We could be creating a monster,” he said

IN-LAW SUITE! MOTIVATED SELLER
Census concerns surface in city RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The controversy over Canada’s census has surfaced in the North Okanagan. The City of Vernon is concerned that communities could be scrambling for critical information if the federal government does scrap the long-form census. “If you cut out the long-form census, all of the labour force data will be lost,” said Kevin Poole, economic development officer. Poole is also president of the Economic Development Association of B.C., and he says the association has written a letter to Industry Minister Tony Clement to express concerns about changes to the census process. Murals To Be Resurrected Two murals that have disappeared in downtown Vernon will make a comeback. City council has agreed to the Downtown Vernon Association
using $30,000 from the mural maintenance fund to paint two murals. “The 27th and last Downtown Vernon mural was painted in 2005. Since that time the collection has actually shrunk by two murals and now sits at 25. The SS Okanagan sternwheeler mural came down when the building was demolished in 2008 and the Bicycling mural was lost a short time later when the building it was situated upon was renovated,” said Ruth Hoyte, DVA president, in a letter to council. “The DVA would like to jumpstart our tired mural program by replacing these two murals that have been lost.” Council approval was required because the fund is supposed to be for maintaining murals only, not creating new ones. “We have a real resource in our murals and the DVA has worked hard to highlight those,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe of why she supported the funding.
Transit Station On The Move The City of Vernon will work with B.C. Transit on the design of a new transit terminus station in the downtown core. The decision has been made to move the terminus from Coldstream Avenue, by Bookland, to Cenotaph park on 31st Avenue. “The existing terminus at Coldstream Avenue is restricted in capacity and is not wide enough to accommodate the additional space necessary to meet the demands of the expanded transit service,” said Chris Ulmer, long range planner. Alternative sites within the central core of the downtown were evaluated in a report presented to Council in November 2007. B.C. Transit has funding to assist with the design and the project must be completed by April 2011.
Bella Vista Plan Official A planning document is now in place for a Vernon neighbourhood. On Monday, council adopted the bylaw for the Bella Vista West neighbourhood plan. Coun. Patrick Nicol believes the plan will benefit residents. “This identifies park within the community plan. It’s there forever,” he said. The Bella Vista West neighbourhood plan area consists of 296 hectares located eight kilometres west of Vernon city centre. The area is defined by the shoreline of Okanagan Lake to the south and west, the city boundary with Okanagan Indian Band land to the north and property parcel boundaries on the east. It was in 1996 that council voted to include the Bella Vista West neighbourhood plan in the official community plan, but since then, the number of homes in the plan area has grown from 50 to 220.
Waste rate hike surprises district BRENT MUTIS
“I guess it’s not a surprise it went up but there was not proper notification,” said Cochrane. “I felt there was the ability for the city (of Vernon) to provide the appropriate communication.” The rate increase puts Coldstream in a shortfall of $275,000 as customers there are currently charged only $1.26 per cubic metre. Council opted to make up for the difference by dipping into surplus and reserve funds. But that course of action doesn’t sit well with everyone. Though the recommendation passed, Coun. Maria Besso voted against

The District of Coldstream received an unpleasant surprise when the sewer invoice for the first quarter of 2010 was received. Coldstream sends a significant percentage of its liquid waste to Vernon for treatment but a communication breakdown seems to have made a rate hike to $1.54 per cubic metre come as a bit of a shock to Coldstream. Coun. Pat Cochrane says the district should be paying their share but notes it would have been nice to know about the price raise in advance.
taking money from surplus. “I don’t feel comfortable taking it all out of reserves,” she said. According to a report from Trevor Seibel, the district’s director of financial administration, the depletion of the reserves would likely lead to a considerable rate increase for customers in 2011. “It puts council in a really awkward position,” said Cochrane. “It does blindside residents when we, as representatives, can’t inform them ahead of time.” Other options to make up for the shortfall included increas-

Facing the heat
H
ot enough for ya? The recent heat wave, which may have peaked Thursday at 35 C (which is somewhere around 100 F on the old scale, which somehow sounds much hotter and makes stories about the good old days even better), has sparked many variations of this question and sometimes it’s difficult to come up with unique and creative answers. Actually, it’s hot enough not to give an answer at all and simply glower at the person who dared ask it and convey quite accurately and correctly that it’s warm enough that inane questions may result in bodily harm. But, of course, it’s too hot for physical violence (or even the threat of it by Glenn Mitchell raising one’s eyebrows). No, it’s better to brush off such questions with a witty response, if one isn’t too tired to actually mouth the words. Thinking up an answer ahead of time might be in order, and then hopefully unleashing the words on the next unsuspecting victim who dares to verbalize the question in your presence. Now I’m not here to offer any surefire answers for your use but I’ve been busy thinking up a few unique ones of my own. Hey, it’s hot out, every man and woman for themselves. One night last week when I went home after work to a stuffy, hot house (OK, maybe I should program the air conditioner to start before 5 p.m. but I’m cheap), I thought about gathering up the family and hitting the beach but, well, it was just too hot. You know. By the time I laid down in the basement for awhile, we actually found something to eat (it’s too hot to shop on the way home from work, and cook, forget about it), cleaned up, rested again and, well, it was getting late for the beach. Therefore – hot enough for ya?
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
Yeah, it’s so hot it’s too hot to go to the beach. OK, you may have to explain it a little but it’s definitely a unique answer. Another one involves the AC in my truck. You see no matter how hot it is I don’t usually bother to turn on the air conditioning in my truck. Usually I’m only embarking on a five- or 10-minute trip so I figure I can handle it and prefer to roll down the window and get my air naturally, if a little on the warmer side. I don’t know why I do this but there’s likely a number of reasons. Maybe I figure it’s more environmentally friendly not to use it (isn’t there fluorocarbons involved or something), or I’m being a bit macho (i.e. stupid) as I sweat unnecessarily, or I never used to trust people with the windows up in a heat wave back when I didn’t have AC and old habits are hard to break, or, again I’m cheap as I hear it affects your gas mileage, or I’m just too lazy to turn the damn thing on. Or maybe all of the above and throw in a stubborn streak that results in me teasing Lower Mainland friends who have AC in their vehicles (why? – for that one day all year it reaches 30 C?), as I brag about having AC but not using it unless it hits 40 C (boy I’m tough, i.e. stupid). But, I must admit, I cracked in the heat and I used the AC in my truck this week. So, again – hot enough for ya? Yeah, it’s so hot I’m actually using the AC in my truck. Again, it might require a bit of context and an explanation of some kind but it’s better than most answers. Plus maybe it will spark a conversation that’s at least more interesting than whether it’s actually hot enough for ya? So, there you have it. Feel free to come up with your own answers to the inevitable question and do take some comfort in the fact that it’s already August, soon to be followed by September and the changing of the seasons and before you know it people are asking that other quintessential Canadian question – cold enough for ya?
Victoria has heard the message loud and clear that the North Okanagan’s economy will take a major hit if a vital transportation corridor is allowed to be ripped up. Two cabinet ministers met with mayors and councillors Thursday to discuss how to protect the rail line from Spallumcheen to Sicamous for public use before deadlines pass and Canadian Pacific can declare it abandoned. And while the efforts of Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma, Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert and others have been admirable, the weight that comes with the provincial government is absolutely critical. CP must be made to understand that while it doesn’t consider the track viable, a number of businesses depend on it and if someone else believes they can operate the line, they should be given the opportunity to do so. That’s all local communities are demanding — for the route to be preserved so other private options for reopening it can be considered. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking and even with the intervention of Shuswap MLA George Abbott and the province, one major player is missing from the process. And it’s unfortunate that the federal government has essentially been sitting on the sidelines. After all, transportation is a federal matter and the line passes through First Nations land, which is also Ottawa’s jurisdiction. Historically, it was also the national government that handed over land to the railways. But Ottawa aside, it’s essential that our local players continue to work with the province to protect a corridor that many businesses that directly support forestry and agriculture require to transport their product. Without that mode of transportation, our economy could be left on uncertain ground.

Part of the problem
O
n June 28, council voted against allowing low-speed vehicles in the City of Vernon. The issue with low-speed vehicles (LSV) is not whether they are as safe as cars in the event of a crash. They aren't and no one is disputing that. The only issue is, are they a viable alternative to driving internal-combustion engine vehicles on Vernon roads. City council made a decision based on the report of transportation technician Amanda Watson. Her report to council emphasizes the safety of these vehicles, not their suitability for Vernon roads. Watson failed to see that the safety issue has been resolved by the federal government. It is not her job to rehash a decision made by the federal government of Canada. This should not even be a factor in her report to council. She also wants to encourage the use of full-speed, electric vehicles that are crash-tested. That is a bit of wishful thinking. These vehicles are not available for THANK YOU On the evening of June 18, I was the victim of a purse snatching/robbery. I was shoved down on to the pavement three times as the culprits (there were two) made off with my purse. Luckily for me, someone in a van was driving by, noticed what was happening and phoned the police on a cell phone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank this person from the bottom of my heart. It could have turned out much worse for me if not for this person’s quick action. This person also asked if I needed an ambulance. My arm was pretty scraped up. I wasn’t sure if I needed an ambulance, but he phoned for one anyway. Thank you again. In this day and age, you hear or read horror stories of people not wanting to get involved when someone needs help, so it is indeed heart-warming to know and experience that there are people out there willing to stop and help. People getting involved makes all
purchase. They won't be commonly available for years yet. Low-speed vehicles are driven at far lower speeds than regular cars and that alone makes them safer than regular cars. Vernon city bylaw officers have two vehicles that are essentially low-speed vehicles. They are ideal for driving around the city efficiently and economically. Why is it OK for them and not for the
the difference in the world. I know it did for me. I may never have got my purse back if not for this person stopping and phoning the police right away. I was checked out up at the hospital, and consider myself lucky that I only had a few scrapes and bruises. I would also like to thank the two women of Victim Services. Lovely, lovely women both of them. They really made me feel calm when I was in such shock that this happened. I will never forget their kindness. My appreciation and thanks also go to the officers involved, particularly the arresting officer. If all police officers were as kind, it would be a much better world. Of course, if it was a much better world, we would not need police officers. It is amazing to me that the police dog was able to find my purse, and with everything still in it. Even though this was a traumatic event for me, nothing can erase, the people I mentioned
taxpayers of Vernon? I think most people could see the benefits of getting the equivalent of more than 500 miles per gallon in city driving, as my Dynasty IT does. Now we share the roads with bicycles, E-bikes and motorcycles that are far less safe than a LSV. That is an undisputed fact as well. It is the decision of the vehicle owners what type of car or E-bike they drive and they assume the risks.
above, plus the love and support of my family. That made it less traumatic than it could have been. I am left with a spark of hope for humanity. Dana Trickett WHERE'S THE SAVING? Unfortunately the government has once again failed to provide a clear understanding, this time on how businesses will "save" under the HST. They have painted all business with the same brush, touting that businesses will all have significant savings they can pass onto customers. While it is true that the PST previously absorbed on supplies and capital can now be claimed back by businesses as an ITC under the HST, this is only for new products purchased after July 1, 2010. In a manufacturing business with significant supplies being used to produce a product, this situation can lead to significant savings that can be passed on. However, in an industry that supplies a service with limited
The federal government has approved LSV and ICBC will insure them. Many municipalities allow them on their roads. The only issue is are they suitable for Vernon roads? For my personal experience, that answer is obviously "yes." I like to think that had Vernon council received a report that looked at the correct issue — are LSVs suitable as an alternative form of clean practical transportation for Vernon — its decision would have been very different. Next time you see the dirty air trapped in this valley from one of our frequent temperature inversions or read about the environmental and human tragedy of millions of barrels of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico, remember, we could be driving clean electric vehicles and thank Mother Hen for keeping us safe. The oil companies are thanking her, too. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Geoff Elliott
supplies and a majority of its cost being labour, the savings can be quite nominal, leaving little in the way of "savings" to pass on. Many mature service-providing businesses, from a plumbing company with a fleet of vans to a cable TV provider, have invested significantly in capital infrastructure under the old PST for which they now generally simply maintain via mostly labour maintenance. Until further capital is purchased or replacements are made, there are only pennies in savings via office and a small amount of maintenance supplies. Therefore, many businesses will not be lowering their rates as their savings are only a fraction of the HST charge to customers. Another way of looking at it is that the government collected the PST on capital purchases of a machine with a 10-year life up front at the time of purchase. If that machine has another three years of life, shouldn't the government refund 3/10ths of the PST – then the business could reduce consumer pricing.
Or a third view is that the government is taxing 3/10ths of that machine twice! Brad Hansen

The couple fled on foot and were not located. The incident is one of a recent rash of thefts in the village. On Thursday morning, police received a report of a white 1995 Chevrolet pick-up as stolen overnight from a residence in the 2300 block of Highway 6 just east of Lumby was received. The pick-up may have had the keys in it. In the rear bed were two dirt bikes, a green 2001 Kawasaki KX100 and a 1981 Honda miniXL100. The license plate on the truck is 2282LE.

Hanging baskets on Vernon and Shuswap Streets in Lumby are dutifully attended to. When one attendant was watering the baskets early on July 23, a man and woman attempted to steal the water pump from the back of the truck. That failed, so, while the truck was running, the pair stole the vehicle. “They drove it some 200-metres, then abandoned the truck in front of KBM Motors,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce.

Some of the most classic cars from the last century will be on display for the people of Vernon to see at the 11th annual Watkin Motors Sun Valley Cruise-In on August 7 and 8. “Everyone’s welcome out,” said Rob Wasiliew, member of the organizing committee for the car show. “Just come down and eat dinner. There’s lots of great things to check out.” There are about 400 vehicles expected at this year’s show, including new and old, trucks, cars and bikes. “There will be so many cars there you could literally spend the whole day checking them out,” said Wasiliew. The weekend will commence with the Poker Run on Saturday
at 10 a.m. It starts at Watkin Motors on 27th Street, will continue on and make several stops around Vernon, and finish off back at Watkin Motors for a free barbecue. After that, 30th Avenue will be shut down for a
Show and Shine from 3 to 10 p.m. complete with live music and entertainment. On Sunday the show takes over Polson Park from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cars, vendors, and entertainment will fill the park from border to border. It

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Like many little boys, Paul Pshyk wanted to be a fireman when he grew up. He worked at his dream job for 39 years until his recent retirement from Vernon Fire-Rescue Services. He started as a volunteer, sometimes responding from his job at Monahan’s, near the Elks Hall, when he heard the fire alarm at the fire hall. “I’d run down the alley to the fire hall, get in my gear and jump on the truck. It’s been a good career and an exciting job. It has always been interesting. It’s a demanding job but if there was a call right now on my last shift, I would be right there,” he said. He started as a live-in volunteer and progressed to the rank of captain. He said that while the dedication and professionalism of firefighting staff has always been high, the development of better and safer equipment has let them do their jobs to an even higher standard. “It has been wonderful being part of the community and being able to help people in their moments of tragedy. This is a pretty emotional day for me,” said Pshyk. Vernon Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle had high praise for Pshyk. “He has been a good, strong leader and someone I have relied on many times. His experience and knowledge cannot be easily replaced. He has been to hundreds of emergencies and he has always had a strong desire to serve the public and he has contributed a lot to the safety of this community,” he said.

In addition to their two children, Patrick (1963) and Darlene (1965), Wayne and Loretta have eight grandchildren. Wayne worked in the plywood industry for 40 years, retiring in 2001. Loretta
worked at Eaton’s for 22 years, retiring in 1996. Since retirement, they have enjoyed travelling in their motor home across Canada and the U.S.A. When at home, both keep busy with their hobbies. Another 50th wedding celebration will take place in September at Princeton, B.C.
Recording your heritage is a valuable exercise PETER KENDAL Special to The Morning Star
There was an interesting article recently in The Morning Star wherein children presented their own historical heritage stories. It set me, as Hercule Poirot says, “Furiously to think!” While I do not want to diminish these excellent stories in any way I thought back to my long-past boyhood days when I just took for granted the history surrounding where I lived. It is difficult to know where or when to start. Perhaps I should let historical time take its course independent of my lifetime. I was born, on Hitler’s birthday, three years before the Second World War started, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, although my parents lived near Bishop Auckland in County Durham. My first memory is why I don’t like coffee. Bishop Auckland’s main street was built on the site of an old Roman road which ran straight as a die for 13 miles from the next county, Yorkshire, until it had to cross the River Wear after the market-place in Auckland. Lingfords Grocers in that street still had access to a supply of coffee and they ground or roasted it some way up from the market-place where all the buses stopped. The prevailing wind always blew straight down the Roman road now known as Newgate Street carrying that smell with it into the market-place. To my four-yearold nose just off the bus from our village it was overpoweringly unpleasant and has remained so since. That’s how I first found out about the Romans. When I went to King James 1 Grammar School I found out more, apart from having to study Latin for my first three years there. A boy in my class lived in a farm about four miles away that had the remains of a Roman bathhouse in the farmyard. I went to see
them but found the underground remnants cold, wet, cramped and dirty. We old boys of the school were known as “Old Vinovians” after Vinovium, the Roman name for the place. Our school was founded in 1603 by James the Sixth of Scotland when he came south to become James the First of England. My uncle Ernie was butler to the Bishop of Durham and he lived in a house built by the castle gates at the entry to the Bishop’s palace sometime in the early 1500s. Historically interesting perhaps, but I just thought that it was a rather low-ceilinged, peculiarly-laid out building with cold stone floors throughout. When I was 15 we moved to Durham City where there was a much more modern school that had only been founded a mere 127 years before in 1826. My daily walk to Johnston Grammar School from my home on the city outskirts at Neville’s Cross passed by at least three places of historical interest that I really took no notice of then. They were: my home was built at the top of Red Hills so called because it was the site of the Battle of Neville’s Cross in October 1346 when the ground was red with the blood of slain Scots; the mighty Norman cathedral above the River Wear dating back to about 1071 and almost opposite our school; the imposing castle right across from our school started at the same time as the cathedral so that it would be a military base to protect it from the Scottish raids. There were many other intrusions of medieval history in the city. Even to having our school rowing crews being only able to have races on a short one-mile course because the river went under Elvet Bridge. This had one of the two arches on it that was narrower than the other with a kink in that did not allow
a clear passage through. As an oarsman I was rather glad that we only had to race for a mile instead of the almost three miles a second wider arch would have allowed! Many years later I was working as a field engineer for Shell in the Scottish Highlands and lived just outside of Inverness. There I had another three places of historical interest: Culliden battlefield, the last battle fought on British soil on April 16, 1746, as our house was built about a mile from the moor on which the fighting took place; about a mile and a half further over the hill from the battlefield was a Bronze Age burial site known as the Clava Cairns dating back to about 3000 B.C.; in my working area, which ranged over the Northern Highlands and Islands, there were many prehistoric sites and remains. But two in particular were both prehistoric and they were the standing stones at Callernish on the Isle of Lewis, and those at the Hill of Many Stanes overlooking the North Sea in Caithness. I have been involved with several places dating back up to 5,000 years ago. I have lived in Durham where there were 12 castles within a 20-mile radius, and in Inverness there were 11 within 15 miles. And yet I never really took a deep significant interest in the fact that they represented such a wide scope of cultures or that I was fortunate to have been in contact with them. In fact I never realized the value of my experiences until I lived away from Britain here in North America. So please, readers, do not neglect this valuable resource and make sure that your experiences and feelings are recorded somewhere somehow. And I give my admiration and thanks to those students who have taken the first few steps in chronicling their heritage and starting the journey for their children to follow.

Seniors with the high mountain essence thrown in to produce that soul-satisfying high that makes the spirit soar. I am so totally relaxed after a few days that my mind shifts to hold. I don’t want to do puzzles or think of problems or have ponderous conversations with my brother whose specialty this is. All I want to do is sit and watch the sun changing the shadows on the snow of Kootenay Glacier, far across the lake and looking as if it reached the top of the sky. Deer regularly wander through the yard and over the hill and up the mountain, not pausing to feast as all the vegetables and flower plants are tucked safely away under their veil of mesh. I am staying with my friend BetsyAnn at her home high above Kootenay Lake on the
Riondel Road. It is a beautiful property climbing up a steep hillside with old heritage buildings that have been refurbished many times but retain their pioneer character. The main house is a wooden two Pat Black storey with an old cedar shake roof that had been a one room cabin, metamorphosing into a seven room home, one room at a time. It is pretty isolated with no visible neighbours or any distracting noise other than the distant and occasional sound of a car hurrying to catch the ferry at Kootenay Bay. A full bright moon woke me at 2 a.m. on the morning of my birthday. The whole yard in front of me bathed in moonlight with the dark shadows of the surrounding woods adding to the

mystical nature of the scene. Then as we prepared to leave to catch the ferry for our trip to Ainsworth Hot Springs, Tim spotted a bald eagle slowly circling the property. He made three complete lazy circles displaying his white tail in full spread, shining and back lit by the sun. He was magnificent and not too far above us, so we could clearly see his rough feathered white head and feel his power. The hot springs are across the lake and several miles north of the ferry landing at Balfour and when we parked several people
were standing around and looking up at the steep hillside above the pools. A big black bear was halfway up a cherry tree feasting on the fruit and totally ignoring his audience below. He was still at it after we checked in and we watched him as we soaked in the hot, healing water. How good the hot springs felt as I relaxed and let the curing waters carry all my aches and pains away. I had achieved my wish and here I was on my birthday where I wanted to be, with two of my favourite people and having a fabulous time.

few months before my 75th birthday my kids asked me to think about what I wanted to do to celebrate the event. Should they have a party, a picnic? What? As I really appreciated the fact that I had lived to be 75 years old, I decided to do something that I really wanted to do, something entirely for me. No party, no picnic but a trip to one of the places on earth that I truly love — the Kootenays. I would stay for a long weekend and be soaking in the hot springs of Ainsworth on my actual birthday. It was an enticing idea and after a few bumps in the road actually happened. There is perfect peace as I sit and view the panorama of lake, hills, mountains, cedar forests, all crowned by the Kootenay Glacier, and breathe in that heavenly air.

Sun-Valley draws talent GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
CHRIS BORCHERT/MORNING STAR
Armstrong Shamrocks' captain Chad Pounder (right) shields the ball from Curtis McIntosh of the Kamloops Rattlers during Game 3 of the Shaw Cup finals Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Rattlers won 5-3 to claim their first-ever playoff title.
Rattlers claim Shaw Cup Morning Star Staff
Too many undisciplined penalties killed the host Armstrong Shamrocks’ hopes of capturing their sixth Shaw Cup Friday night at a packed Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Kamloops Rattlers took full advantage of opportunities given to them as they grounded the regular-season champion ‘Rocks 6-3 in a series-deciding Game 3 to claim the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League playoff pennant. A costly minor interference call with about four seconds to go on the shot clock allowed Rattlers’ phenom AJ Lockwood to set up low in the corner, and with a shake n’ bake move that left defender Devin Rodger flatfooted, he dove cross-crease to open the scoring. Goals by Lee Black, rifling a hard low shot on the powerplay, and Trent Evans,
with a shorthanded effort, made it 3-0 Rattlers after the first period. “We didn’t play our best game by any means, but credit Kamloops. They kept us on our toes all night,” said Armstrong head coach Ken McGregor. The Irish woke up in the second period, playing better team defence and getting offence from Delaney Halifax, who opened the Armstrong scoring on a hard outside shot. After killing off a major to Shaun Koenig for slashing, the Shamrocks got a powerplay goal from Brett Logan to trail by one after 40 minutes. McGregor tried to rally his troops in the intermission, however, on the opening faceoff, Rodger earned a minor for a throwing a flying elbow at one of the Rattlers, and they pounced on the man

advantage. Mark Jurista potted a low shot on netminder Chad Pieper to restore the two-goal cushion, effectively deflating the Shamrocks’ bench. Kamloops’ Curtis McIntosh made it 5-2 before Logan sniped his second of the night with about five minutes remaining. However, Lockwood, a former Shamrock, fired his second of the night to provide some insurance as the Rattlers captured their first-ever Shaw Cup. Despite the outcome, McGregor couldn’t help but feel it was a successful season for his club. “We weren’t expected to do anything this year, but we made it to the final,” he said. “I’m disappointed we lost, but I’m happy with the results of how the team came this year.”
VOLLEYBALL CAMP AUGUST 23 TO 27
It was like a working holiday and networking convention all wrapped up in one. With the gorgeous North Okanagan as a backdrop, dozens of junior, college and professional scouts got to watch nearly 100 top junior hockey prospects display their talent at the inaugural SunValley Showcase, which ended Saturday at Wesbild Centre. The Showcase featured a mix of 1990- to 95-born players who traveled from all corners of North America to display their skill. While primarily B.C. products, others came from Alaska, Texas, California, Florida, Colorado, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Alberta. Vernon Vipers’ head coach/GM Mark Ferner, who headed the Showcase, said this event is all about exposure – for the players, the B.C. Hockey League and junior A hockey in Canada. For junior prospects, getting noticed isn’t an easy thing, added Ferner, but by the week’s end, he estimated two-thirds of the 16 BCHL teams will have had a look at the Showcase talent. “The one thing we identified, especially with a lot of the spring camps, is these kids can pick one camp to go to and get seen by one group of scouts, whether it’s the Vernon Vipers or Salmon Arm SilverBacks or whoever it might be. “This way, we thought that we’d bring all the schools in and have all the kids in one venue where they can showcase their stuff.” The players were divided into five teams to play one another in a round-robin. They also participated in practice sessions and off-ice seminars. Some of the top NCAA Division 1 schools were in the stands watching the daily scrimmages – Northeastern Huskies, Michigan Wolverines, Union Dutchmen, Boston University Terriers and Maine Black Bears to name a few. “A lot of these schools haven’t been out here in a long time and they need to get back out to the B.C. Hockey League,” said Ferner. “It’s great for our league as far as the teams that are here to identify players that are going to be able to play in the league. It’s also great for the schools that come out and see some kids that they probably wouldn’t normally be able to see.” For Alvie O’Connell, a Northeastern scout, the Sun-Valley Showcase, with its concentration of talent all under one air-conditioned roof, is a recruiter’s dream. “It’s tremendous. The level of talent here is very high. We see a lot of hockey in the summer... all over the U.S., and the competitiveness of this camp is better,” he said.

revor Linden got in a pretty good dig on Vernon Laker grad Dallas Drake at the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame inductee dinner last Friday night at Penticton's South Okanagan Events Centre. Before getting into his speech, Linden, who compiled 867 points in 19 NHL seasons, had some last words for Drake that went back to their playoff meeting in 2003. “Dallas, I still feel that hit you put on me in the ‘03 playoffs, if you would have made that hit today, you probably would have gotten a life sentence, but at the time it was legal. It was fair hit,” he said to a laughing crowd, as he started to conKevin Mitchell gratulate Drake and the other inductees. “I got my revenge, we won in seven games. But you got the big prize a couple years later when you carried the Stanley Cup around. So congrats on a great career.” Linden, who retired in 2008, told Black Press he is asked all the time about how his new life without hockey is going. “My response is always the same,” said Linden, who happily signed autographs and took photos with fans before and after the banquet. “I’m not retired, I’m just unemployed. And at times maybe unemployable. We’ll find out soon.” Linden talked about his minor hockey days, one of the highlights being a trip to the Pacific Coliseum with his hockey team. On Canuck coach Pat Quinn during his first NHL game: “As Pat entered the room that night (against Calgary) I was, as usual, somewhat taken aback by his huge presence. The pungent sense of cigar smoke.

Trevor Linden gives a speech at his induction into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame. His command of our room was something you never forget. Actually, I sometimes thought that he could simply blow cigar smoke into the room and he wouldn’t need to say a word.” Quinn, who introduced Linden to the audience, echoed Kelowna Rockets' GM Bruce Hamilton’s sentiment that “Linden was the best Canuck in so many ways.” Said Quinn: “Turning Vancouver around started with the Canucks drafting Linden in 1988. In my mind again, I’m picturing a player. Trevor is six-foot-four, probably 152 at the time. He was a big string bean. Big skinny guy. Got up to be 222. I wonder what the pills were that he was using. On one side he had the skill concept, the other side was knowledge. How he could think out there. Not only was Trevor a guy that could skate, he was big and strong, you could tell he was a good athlete. In fact, a good student as well. Strong enough for Princeton to seek him to come and play college hockey and we’re thankful that that never happened.” Linden, a Medicine Hat hero, said he was blessed to spend 10 great years in
2 n d
Linden heads Hall class Vancouver before his trade to Washington. Drake, meanwhile, spent 15 years in the NHL, earning 477 points, great numbers for a kid drafted in round six by Detroit. The Rossland product led Vernon to the 1987-88 BCJHL playoff title and won the Interior scoring parade with 124 points. HOCKEY NOTES & QUOTES: Vernon product Harrison Whitlock was one of four goalies chosen to the top-40 players in a Bantam Prospects Showcase in Regina this week. Whitlock was named Goalie of the Day on the first day of the three-day camp which included 160 kids. Scouts from 22 WHL teams and U.S. and Canadian universities were in attendance... Vernon's Tyler Steel missed a chance to play Midget AA baseball for Rutland at the provincials in Prince George because of the Sun Valley Showcase put on by Viper coach Mark Ferner. Steel, who was a standout for the junior B Sicamous Eagles last season, is a leading candidate to be Blake Voth's back-up in the Vipers' den this season. Ty's brother Jordan (first basepitcher) went to PG with the Rutland ball team...Former Vernonite Ryan Harrison is now a Medicine Hat Tiger. The 18-yearold Prince Albert Raiders F was traded to the Tigers in a 3-for-1 swap. Harrison, a Kelowna resident whose first cousin David Robinson is Viper captain, went to management requesting a trade and feels he has something to prove after being ignored in the NHL draft in June. “I suggested I wouldn’t mind playing somewhere closer to home,” he told The Medicine Hat News. “Now that it’s happened I’m very excited. There’s some pressure, but I’ve had pressure before and I’m sure I can live up to that and impress and hopefully even do more for the fans and the coaches and GM who believed in this deal.”

Battle for Capri penthouse heats up Morning Star Staff
There is now a three-way tie in the penthouse of the Capri Insurance Men's 45+ Soccer League. The Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels and Penticton FC battled to a 1-1 draw in scorching heat Thursday night at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. Both teams join the North Country Appraisals Kickers of Kelowna at 13-1-1. Tony Munoz fooled Camels' keeper Dave Dutcher with a scoop shot from in tight, in the 23rd minute. Val Burgart sent in a cross from the left side and the Camels' defence blew their coverage as Munoz controlled the pass and put the ball off Dutcher's shoulder. Humpbacks' star striker Gordie Howard went top shelf from 20 yards in the 34th minute, but the goal was disallowed on a close, but correct offside call. The Camels again thought they had tied the score 15 minutes into the second half when winger Terry Lowe booted in a loose ball on the goal-line. The play, which saw Al Murphy head a blistering 37-yard direct kick by Ron Krause which struck the crossbar, was also properly called offside. Vernon finally tied things for real 10 minutes later when centre midfielder Al Betton took a quick throwin from Jim Mottus, weaved his way downfield and cracked a left-footer past keeper Mike Killick. Betton, who along with fellow midfielder Rod Trentini, ran miles all night as the Camels had just two subs, was named the Budweiser Man of the Match. Killick made the save of the night, diving to his left to deflect a Trentini shot wide of the net, with 10 minutes remaining. Killick also recorded nice saves off shots by Terry Lowe and Kevin Mitchell in the dying minutes.

Vernon Camels’ defender Ron Krause braces for a shot from a Penticton player Thursday in Summerland. Each team took one yellow card, Lowe getting his for a shove after a collision, and Brad Findlay of Penticton earning his warning when he ripped a shot at Dutcher's knees after being called offside. The Camels meet the Kickers in a first-place showdown Monday night at Marshall Field #1 in Vernon. In Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ League play, Ken James scored twice as Vernon Kal Tire grounded Silver Stars 3-1 at MacDonald Park. James scored once on a penalty kick and once on a sweet shot to the left corner, while Dave Dawson also connected for the 10-4-1 Tiremen. Al Bensmiller replied for the Stars (10-4-1).

Sports Outlaws cut down Timber
Vipers open against ‘Backs Continued from A19 “It’s a good opportunity to get some kids on the radar for the upcoming season. There’s a lot of good, young prospects and there are a lot of proven players that are already playing in other leagues, so it’s good hockey.” O’Connell came to the Showcase with specific players to keep an eye out for, but added there will be a few new names on his list by the time the camp is done. “You’re always looking for the future. There’s definitely some kids here that have caught my eye here today and I look forward to watching them the rest of the week,” he said. Viper returnees David Robinson, Dylan Walchuk, Trevor Fitzgerald and a lean-looking Bryce Kakoske, along with new recruits Aaron Hadley, Brett Corkey and Marcus Basara all attended the Showcase. Former Viper captain Chris Crowell, in a bit of role reversal from his days as one of the league’s best heavyweights, helped out as a linesman. “It’s a lot harder than it looks,” grinned Crowell. Kevin Kraus, last year’s captain, manned the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the Vipers will start the 2010-11 season the same way they began the last one – with a home-and-home series against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The Snakes will entertain the Gorillas on Friday, Sept. 10 at Wesbild Centre, and will then travel to Sunwave Centre Saturday night. Vernon’s 60-game schedule features a trio of

Founder’s Cup at The Rise KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
The Fred Couples Signature Course at The Rise has been in immaculate shape all season. Staff have upped their marketing with plenty of attractive promotions for locals which have kept the tee times steady. The gorgeous resort course is now welcoming Vernon-area golfers to its second annual major tournament next Saturday. It's known as the Founder's Cup, named after the 21 founding members who hail mainly from Vancouver and Alberta. "We're sitting at 80, but we'd like to get 100 players," said head golf pro Lee Ranger. "It's $150 and you get golf, a barbecue and prizes." Players may also take advantage of a $49 practice round Friday. The two-person, best-ball format, with various flights and $10,000 worth of prizes for gross and net winners, opens with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start. Ranger, a 43-year-old Nanaimo product who has been at The Rise since it opened last year, is ecstatic with the track's appearance. "The course came through the spring very well. The greens are fast, the fairways are awesome and the fescue is lush." Like most resort courses in the province, The Rise slashed green fee prices to draw in more local players. They offer 2-for-1 golf Monday through Wednesday and locals night on Thursdays is $49 for men and includes dinner and prizes. Ladies can tee it up after 4:30 p.m. on locals night for $75 and get the same deal. "Our happiest customers are the people who play us twice," said Ranger. "Once they've got around a second time and had a drink or something to eat on our (Freddy's) patio overlooking the lake (Okanagan), they're locked in." The Boom Boom burger is one of the most popular menu items. It is named after Couples,
who after a 10-year partnership with legendary golf course designer Gene Bates, put his name on the course. Only lacking a permanent clubhouse as The Rise operates under credit protection, the course held their Ladies of the Okanagan tourney last Sunday, raising money for the Vernon Hospice and Transition Houses. Former Vernon Viper captain Andy Zulyniak, who is spending the summer working in the pro shop, will team with Jerred Smithson of the Nashville Predators in the Founder's Cup. Call the pro shop at 250-545-7425 to register.
guitar-playing d-man is a 20-year-old veteran who had seven goals and 27 points with Merritt last year. Said Cents’ head coach Luke Pierce, a Viper grad: “He provides the necessary foundation for creating a culture based on character, work ethic and determination. Steve is a tremendous individual who is well-liked and respected in our community, and is an elite player in our league who commands the respect of his opponents.”
Little Tex Outlaws shut down North Enderby Timber 4-0 in North Okanagan Women's Soccer Association Competitive Division action Thursday night at Marshall Field #5 Monica Neilson, Christine Fraser, Tania Ghattis and Ester Wolthers scored in support of Gineil Ferrier, who had a great game in net. TED United of Salmon Arm doubled the shorthanded AF Blazers 10-5 in Competitive Division action at Marshall #3. Delinah Erbenich scored a hat trick, while Paula Brownlee and Ali Clarke had singles for the Blazers, who were down 6-0 at the half.

Black Devils with the Force CARA BRADY
Morning Star Staff
The three young men, Jack Furman, from Alberta, C.T. Bailey from California, and Joseph Lawson from Arkansas, were the best of friends in the way that only men in the armed forces can be. They were among the original members of the First Special Service Force which was the tip of the spear of battle and never lost as they fought behind enemy lines 1942-1944. The three did their duty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bailey was killed, Lawson lost a leg, and Furman came back with scars where an enemy bullet passed through the side of his neck. Furman, 93, who now lives in Vernon, has been thinking about his experiences since a recent trip to Italy to visit some of the places where he fought and dedicate a plaque to his fallen comrades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some veterans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to talk about the war, but I think we should talk about it. Talking about it might somewhere along the line help a little in efforts to stop war forever,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the veterans on the trip talked about it for the first time since the war while we were there and he said it was the first good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep he had in 60 years. That trip brought back a lot of memories for all of us.â&#x20AC;? He found the Italians were very appreciative of what the Canadians and First Special Services Force had done in the their country and there were celebrations everywhere they went, even a climb of Monte La Defensa where the force members scored a key, surprise victory by climbing a vertical rock cliff by night. Italian young people carried the veterans up the mountain in wheelchairs mounted on long poles. The veterans on the trip visited Rome where they were part of an audience with the Pope, who mentioned in his address that the First Special Services Force was represented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really something to see the Pope, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even Catholic,â&#x20AC;? said Furman. Furman, who joined the Canadian Army in Calgary (he had been running the Speedway Service Station in Fort McLeod), had not been in the services long when he was asked to join a new special unit that was being formed but he was not given any details. It was the First Special Services Force, an elite commando unit of American and Canadian troops under the direct command of the top Allied chiefs of staff. The objective was to send highly trained men behind enemy lines to clear the way for the larger units. The force members were trained in para-

They had weapons, including guns and knives, designed specially for them. Their trademark tactic was to be able to creep up on the enemy from unexpected directions, kill them, disable weapons and disappear without being noticed. They often blackened their faces with burned cork and worked at night which earned them the nickname the Black Devils, from a German diary found calling them Die Schwartze Teufelin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had no idea what we were training for but we did go to Kiska but the Japanese had left before we got there. We found out later that the first mission in Europe was to be in Norway, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we learned to ski, to disable the nuclear weapons. There was no plan to evacuate us, it would have been a suicide mission but it was called off,â&#x20AC;? said Furman. His unit landed near Naples in the summer of 1943 and fought in the mountains. The Black Devils became well-known because they took Monte La Defensa in a few hours after it had bogged down the entire Fifth Army for a month. They then took part in the Anzio Beach battle and were among the first to liberate Rome. The force

Later, they spearheaded the amphibious landings in Southern France. The First Special Service Force badge was a red, arrowhead-shaped patch with the words U.S.A. and Canada written on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a small outfit compared to most military units and we became a lot closer than most. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy as hell and proud as hell to have served on the force. I made some wonderful friends and had an experience that I hope not too many people will have,â&#x20AC;? said Furman. The First Special Service Force disbanded in Menton, France in 1944. It is considered the prototype for subsequent special forces including the Green Berets and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s JTF2 force. Furman spent the rest of the war in england and came back to marry his childhood sweetheart, Myrtle, who died two years ago. He sold Snap On Tools in Alberta, then operated a motel. The couple moved to Vernon in 1970. He is looking forward to attending the annual First Special Services Force reunion in Helena, Montana later this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so long ago for me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always remember all the details, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something you can ever forget. I know Canadians are still going to war and I wish it could stop,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Do you really believe in God?
T
hose who say that they believe in God and yet neither love nor fear him, do not in fact believe in him but in those who have taught them that God exists. Those who believe that they believe in God, but without any passion in their heart, any anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God-idea, not in God. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Miguel De Unamuno I find it interesting that so many people put off their search for God and living for God by simply figuring: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in God,â&#x20AC;? as if we are doing him a great favour in admitting that. That the only thing God requires of us is that we somehow acknowledge his existence. Where did we ever get that notion? From God himself, or from friends, parents, teachers or authors? Do we
far beyond simply really believe in God, acknowledging the or do we just think we existence of a supreme believe in God? being. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatest comâ&#x20AC;&#x153;I choose to believe mandmentâ&#x20AC;? according what I want to believe to Jesus Christ, is not and worship to â&#x20AC;&#x153;believe in how I want to God,â&#x20AC;? but to worship,â&#x20AC;? realove him with son many. But oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, soul do we really and mind.

In other words, you or hurt if people chose will never know what to believe things that life is for, you will never were untrue about us know yourself, you will simply because they prenever know inner peace, ferred to think of us in deep joy, hope or sense of that way? purpose, you will never â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me introduce experience heaven in an you to Dave, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big after life until and unless Oilers fan.â&#x20AC;? you know God.

KEEPIN' THE FAITH
Absurd, right? But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, how many of us draw up certain conclusions about God simply out of preference? The fact remains that God is the way God is regardless of what we might believe. God will do what God will do regardless of whether we like it or not. To believe in something that is not true is to believe a lie regardless of how sincerely and devoted we are in our belief. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly save us or deeply transform us or give us any lasting peace or happiness. Why? Because God (at least the God of Christianity) is both a personal and relational being. He isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely interested in our â&#x20AC;&#x153;faith,â&#x20AC;? he wants our hearts. He wants a relationship. The good news of the gospel is that God loves us and is knowable. He sent his Son, Jesus, to make himself known, and to open the way to a relation-
Calling young Canadian change-makers Morning Star Staff
This October, 250 young leaders will come together with decision-makers of all disciplines for four days of inspired dialogue on water issues Oct. 21 to 24. The Canadian Water Innovation Lab is a collaborative â&#x20AC;&#x153;unconferenceâ&#x20AC;? event designed to cultivate informed future leaders, influence policy, and strengthen the Canadian water stewardship network. Are you concerned about the sustainable development of your community? Seeking inspiration and ways to influence long-term change? The Lab is looking for outstanding young Canadians, aged 18-35, to join as participants. You do not need to have experience in water issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; water is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern! This is a call for all future leaders to join the discussion on sustainable
water management. Successful applicants will stay at YMCA Camp Chief Hector in Exshaw, Alta. in the Rockies and engage in dialogue on water issues via experiential learning activities, field tours, mentoring and systems theory. Apply at www.waterlution.org.
Q: A:
Is grooming important to the health of my animal?
YES! Grooming your animals does a lot more than keeping your pet looking spiffy. Long haired cats and dogs can get large tight mats in their fur that can actually trap moisture and bacteria leading to skin irritation and infections. This is especially important near the back end of your animal as mats in this area can actually hinder their ability to go to the bathroom! Keeping nails trimmed not only saves your ďŹ&#x201A;oors and legs, but it also prevents the nails from getting so long that they become imbedded in the toe pads â&#x20AC;Ś ouch! Dogs with scruffy furry faces should be trimmed around the eyes since these long hairs can poke into the eyes leading to infection and ulcers of the cornea. Dogs with excessive tearing should have their faces wiped on a regular basis, the discharge that stays stuck to the fur can actually scald the skin underneath leading to pain and infection. Not every pet needs to be ready for the show but they should have some basic care to prevent these problems. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dr. Lily Miller, DVM

Welsh singing meets the Rockies JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
The sounds of the old country are making their way to Vernon. The Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir is performing at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre on Thursday night. “We are a traditional Welsh male choir,” said Ray Freebury, a tenor in the choir. The 50-member choir, based out of Toronto, was founded by Welsh immigrant Gwyn Roberts in 1995. He wanted to bring together like-minded people of Welsh heritage to carry on the spirit and tradition of Welsh singing in his new country. In honour of their 15th anniversary, the choir is embarking on a Rocky Mountain Tour. “We usually do about 10 to 12 concerts a year, many of them for charitable groups,” said Freebury. “We often do a few Christmas concerts as well.” The choir is part-time passion for its members. They all have other jobs, which makes it difficult to get the entire group together for out-of-town shows. The Rocky Mountain Tour will feature 28 members of the choir, singing a selection of traditional Welsh, and Canadian music. “We sing a fairly broad range of music,”
said Freebury. “And about a quarter of the music is sung in Welsh.” Although founded by individuals of Welsh heritage, many of the choir members have a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. “About a quarter of our members were born and grew up in Whales, and about a quarter have some Welsh heritage, and then we have a mix of people who just appreciate the music,” said Freebury. The diversity of the group is the reason why much of the music is in English. That way the non-Welsh members don’t have to struggle with the diction of the traditional language. But some traditions remain. The choir memorizes the entire selection so there is no music in front of them. “That tradition comes from the origin of the music,” said Freebury. Back in the 1800s in Whales, coal miners would sing in the mine while they worked, but they were mostly illiterate so it all had to be memorized. Memorizing the set list for a two-hour concert is no easy task. And Freebury says the physical demands are difficult as well. “It gets a little hard on the feet sometimes,” he said. But the pain is always worth it, says Freebury, especially when you get to play some at some of the amazing venues the choir has visited.
PHOTO SUMITTED
The Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir perform Thursday at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre. “My favourite was when we played at Carnegie Hall in a 400-voice concert.” They played at New York City’s famous hall in 2008, accompanied by worldrenowned bass/baritone Bryn Terfel. The singer, best known for his Falstaff, is also an honourary patron of the choir. The choir will be entertaining audiences with songs such as Canada’s Wood River, and Four Strong Winds, and Welsh
selections such as O Gymro, Myfanway, and Gwahoddiad. The choir may be performing at just over 50 per cent, but Freebury assures that the audience will not be disappointed. “We’re still a fairly powerful choir.” The Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir will go on at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, and $15 for seniors over 60, and youth under 16.
New art exhibit explores controversial issues Morning Star Staff
An emerging artist in Kelowna has found the space to debut some of his controversial works. From Tuesday to Aug. 15 the vacant storefront at 1650 Pandosy, will be turned into Kelowna’s most contemporary, but temporary, art gallery. The exhibition will feature life-size paintings of young men, naked from the waist down, and a number of opportunities for public discussion. The exhibition addresses themes and issues related to the sanctity of the body, homosexuality, nudity, masculinity and identity.
Having been called a “narcissist, a pervert and a self absorbed exhibitionist,” as well as having some colourful remarks made about his sexual orientation, Cory Dixon is no stranger to strong reactions to his work. “It tells us something about our society when pictures of naked men in an art gallery get that type of response, but pictures of highly sexualized women are perfectly okay on the mud flaps of a truck, or over hanging over the bar at the pub.” The goal of the exhibition is to engage the public in respectful but open discussion. “We want to get people
involved and talking about their views on nudity, and the body,” said Dixon. “With so many different social views on what is acceptable, proper or expected in relation to the body, this is a really valuable chance to share your beliefs and find out what others believe and why. Whatever your views on the body are, this is an opportunity for dialogue, discussion and education.” Dixon plans to specifically extend invitations to many of the youth groups, churches and religious groups in the area to come to the opening reception on Tuesday, and hopes that many
will turn out for the public discussions on Aug. 7. Having grown up being involved with a youth group in Vernon, Dixon says that the body and especially the sanctity of the body is a topic that was often discussed in depth, both amongst adults and teens, with care and sophistication. “I think that the religious and spiritual groups in our community have some very valuable things to bring to this conversation. ” The exhibition came about as a logical extension of Dixon’s fine arts project at UBCO, but also as a response to issues in Kelowna. “During my undergraduate
project I was already working with the body, and with the nude, which is really a very traditonal topic,” said Dixon. After seeing the recent retrospective of paintings by Joyce Hall at the Kelowna Public Art Gallery, and the curtains covering the paintings that featured male nudes, Dixon realized that some of the issues that he was tackling in his studies were very relevant to current events and issues in Kelowna. The exhibition opens at 1560 Pandosy on Tuesday, with a short and informal artist talk by Dixon, followed by a reception with wine, beer and live music.

TOM NOLAN “Psychoactive” drugs are used to help people sleep, lower anxiety, treat depression, reduce pain and relax the muscles. These medications can increase the risk of falls in the elderly. If you or someone you know is a fall risk, have them check with their doctor. Perhaps a reduction in dose or elimination of a drug is indicated. Women suffering from menstrual pain can use acetaminophen to help reduce discomfort. There is some evidence that NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) like ibuprofen or naproxen can sometimes work even better. NSAIDs do cause more gastrointestinal side effects and are to be used with caution if there is an underlying history of gastric ulcers. Migraine sufferers have been helped immensely by the new migraine drugs (tryptans) that have been available for the past 15 years. Recently, an alternative to drug treatment has been tried. It involves a device that delivers a magnetic pulse to the back of the head at the beginning stages of the migraine with an effort to interrupt the electrical event in the brain that cause the migraine. Results have been promising giving many a pain-free response inside a couple of hours. Colorectal cancer is curable if caught early. Be aware of symptoms: a persistent change in bowel habits; blood in the stools; severe abdominal pain; unexplained weight or appetite loss; fatigue; a sense of fullness in the rectum. These symptoms may not signify cancer but see your doctor and have it checked. Teamwork is important for good health: You, your doctor and your pharmacist. We’d be happy to be on your health team!

Arts Spy thriller defies reality Salt: ★★★ 1/2

Russian nationals scattered throughout numerous intelligence agencies, waiting to strike with an elaborate pop-goes-theworld plan. And according to the agent, one of the spies is Salt. So, is she? Isn’t she? Can’t say…at least, not here I won’t. All you need to know is that Salt runs, and she runs hard and fast, dodging bullets and busting chops. Director Phillip Noyce, who navigated fare like Patriot Games, hasn’t lost his touch. He’s still masterful at juggling details, yet doesn’t stop the action long enough to overly admire them. It’s manic energy the audience obviously wants, and he’s more than happy to deliver. Out of a possible five stars, I give Salt three and a half. The film is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Those who attended Thursday night’s concert with The Goods performing, could not resist getting up and dancing to many of their favourite songs
Civic Sounds satisfy Morning Star Staff
The Downtown Vernon Civic Sounds concert was the place to cool off this past Thursday. The Goods were out to entertain the crowd, and entertain they did. Two hours of continuous country, classic rock and top 40 songs had the crowd dancing the night away. “The Goods put on a fantastic show, and Vernon and area residents know that,” said Holly Schmidt, events and marketing co-ordinator for the Downtown Vernon Association, who puts the concerts on. “There were over 500 people at Thursday’s Civic Sounds concert, the record for the 2010 concerts,” she added. The Goods had people of all ages up and dancing the night away, many not having a chance to take a break because song after song was a favourite. Some came early to claim their
spot under a tree in the shade, while others chose to soak in the last bit of the day’s sun. “The Civic Plaza offers a variety of spots for concert goers to sit, either with their lawn chair or a blanket,” said Schmidt. “People even bring a deck of cards or a favourite game to play while listening to the free music. It’s such a great atmosphere”. Next Thursday, grab your lawn chair and get down to the Civic Plaza for the free concert between 7 and 9 p.m. Tantalys will be entertaining on Aug. 5. Performances by Kath and the Tom Kats, Blackberry Wood and Cheaper than a Porsche are to follow throughout August. For more information on the Civic Sounds concert series, please check out www.downtownvernon. com.

Economy keeps rolling in Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are some signs that the recession has had a negative impact on the North Okanagan, and yet there are other indications that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual. The City of Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 planning and building services report shows that the number of building permits dropped from 424 in 2008 to 365 last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still fairly good activity but most of that represented smaller workers like renovations,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Flick, planning and building services manager. The most significant decline was in housing starts. In 2008, there were 213 single-detached permits handed out while there were 172 in 2009. In terms of multi-family units, there were 44 permits in 2008 and 25 last year. There were 14 commercial permits last year, as well as two industrial permits and 152 permits for other uses, including accessory buildings, commercial and industrial renovations, foundations, institutional, plumbing, retaining walls and swimming pools. But while the number of permits were down in 2009, their value was nearly $165 million, just a slight decrease from 2008â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record high of $169 million. The largest value was $100 million in the other category, with much of that attributed to the patient care tower project at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Another positive sign is the growth in businesses in Vernon. There were 3,117 business licenses handed out in 2009 compared to 2,655 in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of business licenses has been trending upwards for several years,â&#x20AC;? states the annual report. The total revenue from business licenses was $465,306 last year. The planning and building services department also covers economic development, and there was considerable activity on that front as well. The function was created in January 2009 and in May of that year, Kevin Poole was hired as economic development officer. Through Pooleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions, an economic development advisory committee was formed as was an economic development strategy. For 2010, the priorities include implementation of the strategy, establishing a business retention and expansion program, developing an investment and worker attraction program, creating an Invest in Vernon website, conducting a commercial building demand analysis and pursuing a feasibility study for a public market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will also be working on increasing partnerships to promote economic opportunities,â&#x20AC;? said Flick. On that front, Vernon has agreements with other communities in the North Okanagan to expand the industrial land base as a way of creating employment. Vernon is also part of the Okanagan Valley Economic Development Society and Linx BC, which both promote economic opportunities on a regional and provincial level. Economic growth is also a focus for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longrange planner.

The value of building permits in Vernon reached almost $165 million in 2009, with much of that attributed to expansion at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still fairly good activityâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kim Flick In 2009, the planner initiated neighbourhood plans for the city centre district (downtown) and the waterfront area, while the goal for 2010 is to finalize those plans and review and update the airport master plan. Another city department that has experienced the ups and downs of the recession is tourism. During the first quarter of 2010, the number of parties stopping at the visitor information centre was up 28.4 per cent, but it dropped 8.4 per cent in the second quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That may have been because of the poor weather and the economy,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle Jefferson, tourism manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But things have been picking up since the hot weather arrived.â&#x20AC;? Jefferson keeps in constant contact with businesses

throughout the community, and she says many are doing quite well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some like Predator Ridge are having their best year ever,â&#x20AC;? she said. There are three priorities for the tourism department and they are building a market-oriented and cohesive industry, strengthening the product and enhancing the experience for visitors, and destination marketing. When it comes to marketing Vernon as a destination people want to explore, a number of initiatives are being pursued including a new website, Facebook, an image bank and providing familiarization tours for out-of-town media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working to keep Vernon top of mind,â&#x20AC;? said Jefferson. Other initiative is to link accommodations packages around special events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Carnival. Stay overnight and enjoy the festivities,â&#x20AC;? said Jefferson, adding that such a plan will involve greater community participation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are festivals we need to be involved with more.â&#x20AC;?

Business Networking is rewarding
I
ndustry leaders say networking is one of the best ways to grow and develop your business. If you are simply operating from a shop without anyone knowing where you are and what you do, how can you possibly succeed? For many years, advertising was one of the sole ways businesses attracted customers but now the all encompassing methodology of “marketing” has taken over. Marketing comes in many forms and every single one of them has their benefits. Traditional advertising through newspapers, magazines, and television continues to be a source for getting the word out. Billboard signage is still pretty popular and has expanded into electronic formats that taunt and distract drivers to read as they drive. Internet marketing has taken the world by storm with banner advertising, online publications, E-Blasts, and now social media using Facebook, Linkedin and the 140 characters of Twitter. Still the old tried, true and tested, face-to-face contact seems to be one of the best ways. As progressive as our society continues in the world of technology, people still need the human connection to build trust when doing business with one another. Networking or connecting your business to other businesses in your own
community is one of the best methods you can engage to grow your investment. Any opportunities you can find to connect with other businesses with cards in hand, elevator speeches ready and product knowledge are chances you don’t want to miss out on. This activity should be happening a daily basis and as frequently as possible. Missed opportunities will not serve your business well. There are other ways to capitalize on marketing your business in your local community and it can be achieved through business referral groups and membership in your local business associations. While these two may seem completely apparent for most, Val Trevis the next suggestion is not as obvious for some. Business associations like the Chamber of Commerce operate under the direction of a volunteer board of directors who donate their time to contribute back to their business community for the benefit of the entire region. In our chamber of commerce, we have 16 volunteers who make up our board of directors. Thirteen directors are elected by the chamber of commerce membership while the remaining three are appointed and represent Vernon council, Coldstream council and Junior Chamber International. While all of these volunteers are most certainly contributing to their
CHAMBER NEWS
community overall through volunteerism, they are without a doubt networking their business throughout the community at the same time. Volunteering and engaging your time on a local committee for the betterment of your community is one of the most traditional methods for networking or connecting your business throughout the valley. On Sept. 15, the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce will host our annual general meeting, where opportunities await you. Being a member of the chamber of commerce board of directors is rewarding, educational, and fun. Yes, we do have fun. But more importantly, the time and expertise you can offer are a contribution that is invaluable to organizations like ours which has thrived on the volunteerism efforts of Vernonites for 113 years. As a community rallies around your business to support it through thick and thin, giving back to that same community becomes one of the most valuable ways you can market yourself and the products and services your business offers. If you are interested in running for a board of director position with the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, contact 250-545-0771 or e-mail manager@vernonchamber.ca for more information. Val Trevis is the general manager of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

You are here.
You’re standing on the sixth hole, 135 yards from the green, about to hit your third shot with a nine iron. The golfers ahead have moved off the green to the seventh tee to the right. You judge them to be almost at the tee and at least 20 yards from the sixth green when you swing. Your ball slices to the right and beans one of the players in the mouth, causing him to require 22 stitches and substantial dental work. Are you at fault? Yes. Mr. McVety, who hit Mr. Mahoney this way, was found to be 100% to blame.

Special To The Morning Star
B.C. - There were many skills I thought I’d master on my recent kayaking trip in British Columbia’s Johnstone Straits but learning how to burn pee-soaked toilet paper hadn’t made that list. Sea Kayak Adventures promised a wilderness experience extraordinaire. They delivered; Orcas, humpbacks, doll porpoises and eagles littered the landscape, the camp stove fare was gourmet and the guiding, expert. I just hadn’t counted on the burn-yourTP-in-the-coffee-can-routine, though it did make for some interesting discussions. Like one night on the Compton Island Indian Reserve…Nell Garvin, of Bellevue, Washington sips her merlot, “I’m going to find an old coffee tin and tell my kids that I have mastered the art of the onematch burn. The key…” she lifts her glass, “is poking it with a stick and holding it aloft.” Allen Early, 46, of Moore, South Carolina shakes his head. In a deadpan drawl he replies, “Nah. My method’s better. I just light it before I use it.” The tour started in the basement of the Haida-Way Hotel in Port McNeill. Our new guides, Cara Andre and Dan Pichette, are eager and enthusiastic. Cara’s hair is a wonderful halo of springy curls. Dan has the kind of keenness that looks like he’s ready to start up the Peace Corps, the kind of gosh-golly enthusiasm that has me wary. He asks us, “What are you hoping to gain from this trip?” The aforementioned Allen is here with his wife Cathy, a librarian in their small town. “Our friends told us we would either love this…or it’ll be the end of us.”

Mossy Cove provides a home-away-from-home for campers exploring the west coast of the province. Nell, 59, unaware that she’s soon to be a one-match burn pioneer, tells us she’s an elementary school nurse and introduces her husband Pat, an emergency room physician. Then she hesitates, “I don’t want
to sound like…” she fades off, not quite finishing the thought, “…but I thought it’s basically now or never.”

A natural experience Continued from previous page John Ross, 64, fingers his salty red beard. He looks like a sailor from a distant sea. “I’m from Edmonton,” he says in a gravely voice. It seems John is a wayfarer of a different sort. He’s cycled across Canada and pedalled from Paris to Istanbul. Now? He’s ready to kayak. Less than 24 hours later, I’m sitting on a bluff above the aptly named Mossy Cove. A bull kelp forest fans out in the sparkling water below. My husband Kevin leans against a Hemlock to read, while our tent glows with the last golden rays of the day. I breathe deep bellyfuls of salty air scented with hot sap and write in my journal about the seal and her pup we saw drifting through that morning’s fog in Telegraph Cove. I remember too, the eagle wheeling down; talons out, grabbing something silver from the sea, before returning to its perch to shred it into sushi. Wariness be damned, I am in love with our keener guides. They’re the real thing. Plus, they cook like a dream. We’re all enthusiastic for another reason. Johnstone Straits is renowned for rainy weather. Which is why our daily diet of bluebowled skies and bleeding-sunsets is so special. Mornings start thick

Pat Garvin (left) and Dan Pichette show off a sea urchin. with fog, pushing its thick fingers into coves and leaving shaggy tendrils on rocks. One night in North Bay, I sit with a glass of pinot noir. The fog begins blanketing the bay. I know that I am going to sleep like the dead again tonight. Except. Kevin and I wake together. The sound is close, filling the tent…I zip out, drawn towards the heavy blowhole exhalations. The moon illuminates the fog. I can see nothing but the glowing thickened air. But my ears are filled with the immense breathing of Orcas, creatures that can weigh up to eight tons. Stories are what bind us. Shared experiences and the telling thereof
goes back to the time of the clan and the cave. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about the hydraphone Cara lowered in the sea so we could eavesdrop on Killer whale gossip or if we’re silently absorbing the sunset…these moments connect us to the earth and to each other. I wish I had mastered the one-match burn, but alas, it took me several attempts to render my TP into black
flakes. But. That process helped slow time to a Zen-like pace. Huddling over a coffee can with a small flame, while Jesus-rays pierce through the temple-columns of trees tends to frame a newborn day in an entirely fresh way - all of it combining into a different kind of mastery.

If you live up to your abilities and produce what you’re capable of doing, the recognition and reward you’re seeking will be there for you in the year ahead. The coming months will be offering you many opportunities to establish yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A group of friends is likely to follow your lead about what to do, when to do it and how to do it. You won’t let them down, you’ll think of something quite original that they’ll all enjoy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You won’t have to make a lot of noise, wave your arms or wear a funny tie to capture the attention of your peers. Those who know you already sense much power and strength in your quiet presence.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When it comes to a competitive situation, don’t tip your hand as to what you have in mind to beat out the others. It’ll be a lot more fun for everybody if they don’t know what’s coming.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t discount any signals or messages your second sense is picking up, even if some come from left field. Your intuition is likely to be one of the most effective assets that you possess.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If a friend comes to you hoping you’ll be critical of someone s/he dislikes, don’t think you have to comply if you think differently. You can only be of help to your pal if you tell them the truth.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It’s always to your advantage to be selective regarding your choice of friends. If you can, associate with those pals who are the thinkers in the group, because something worthwhile could come of it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have the grit and determination to successfully fulfill your intentions. However, to your credit, much of what you want to do will be on behalf of another.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Once you realize that most of the impediments that you have been envisioning are all imaginary, clear thinking can take over. Several important matters will be resolved as a result. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You’ll make such an impression that everyone within earshot will take notice when you render an opinion or offer a suggestion. What you have to say will be noteworthy to your listeners. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Let the debtor who owes you know that your patience is coming to an end about waiting for repayment. There’s a good chance you could collect what is due.
It’s a “buyers market” … I’ll make it easier for you.

SUNRIDGE Veterinary Clinic SUMMER SAFETY AND YOUR PET
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.
Every summer many pets suffer from heat related emergencies that can be prevented. If your pet shows signs of distress:
Rapid or labored breathing Pale gums Increased heart rate Extreme lethargy Excessive salivation Move your pet to a shaded cool area, offer cool fresh water and contact your veterinarian. For more information

The loyalty you show will further strengthen bonds you have with onlookers. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A friend for whom you did a kindness recently hasn’t forgotten it. This person has something up his/her sleeve for you, in hopes that it will reward your gracious gesture.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Albert Einstein said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.â&#x20AC;? At the bridge table you will be a man or woman of success if you value your hand correctly. Look at the North hand in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagram. You open one spade, East overcalls three diamonds, and your partner makes a negative double, showing four hearts and usually at least 10 good points. (He might have ďŹ ve hearts if he has only nine, 10 or a so-so 11 points, because a three-heart response would be game-forcing.) What would you do now? Since you have (at least) a nine-card heart ďŹ t, you can add three points for your singleton and one for
your doubleton, making your hand worth 22 support points. This means that your side has slam values. If partner has as little as ace-queen-fourth of hearts, you have a play for slam, as long as you can discard all of his diamond losers on your spades. And he has to have more than six points. You should jump to four no-trump. Roman Key Card Blackwood would be beneďŹ cial because you could ďŹ nd out if partner has two aces and the heart queen. But whatever form of Blackwood you employ, you should end in six hearts by South. West leads a diamond. What should declarer do? Rather than assume East has a singleton heart for his weak jump overcall, South
should win with dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diamond ace and draw two rounds of trumps. Here the queen drops and declarer collects an overtrick. However, if West began with queen-third of hearts, South would play off dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top spades, discarding his diamond loser, and claim.

Paul was grateful he was able to live in Canada which he loved, especially the home he built in the Okanagan Valley, near Vernon where he was a part of the Killiney Beach Community for over 34 years. In his later years, Paul worked in the General Store at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe Ranch, where he volunteered for many years. Paul loved his gardening and looked forward to his summers in the Okanagan every year after his winters in Yuma, AZ , with his late wife, which he did for over 20 years continuing right up until his death. Paul was 86 years old. There will be a memorial service held at the Killiney Beach Community Hall in Vernon, BC, located at 516 Undell Road on August, 4th, 2010 at 1:30 pm.

Ann Cordelia Bolen (James) September 5, 1913 - July 28, 2010 Born in Lethbridge, Alberta - Ann passed away at Pleasant Valley Manor in Armstrong on July 28, 2010 at the age of 96. Ann was predeceased by her beloved husband Lester, sons Laurence and Kennith, grandsons Douglas and Taras, sisters Edith James, Elizabeth Christiansen, Patricia Wickhorst and brothers John and George James. She is survived by her son William (Jennifer) Bolen, daughters Midge (Don) Mihalick, Doreen (partner Doug Edwards), 22 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren and 12 great, great grandchildren. Ann was a wonderful Mom, a great Grandma and a good friend to so many. She will be remembered and was well known for her quick wit, winning smile, and her love of a good hot cup of tea. Her home may have been small but her heart was big and there was always room for one more. Ann met her best friend and future husband at the age of six in Lethbridge and they enjoyed 62 years of marriage. Their life adventures began with homesteading in Northern Alberta which included rafting to their homestead and living in a tent for a year while they built a log home together. They moved to Kaleden, where Ann worked at the fruit packing plant for 23 years. She would win an award for being the fastest packer in B.C. They retired to a small farm in Tappen and ďŹ nally moved to Armstrong. In her later years, Ann made her dedication and was baptized as one of Jehovahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Witnesses. Her faith meant a great deal to her and she is now in the memory of Jehovah. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the years of care and friendship Ann received from the wonderful staff at Pleasant Valley Manor. You showed her so much love. A memorial service will be held at Personal Alternative Funeral Home in Armstrong, at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, August 4th. Ann will be sadly missed and remembered with love. The family requests no ďŹ&#x201A;owers. Donations may be made to Pleasant Valley Manor in Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory.
