Klepp, who provides analysis on Vipers’ broadcasts, is confident Vernon can be successful.

“I have talked to people at Hockey Canada and they say (Vernon is a) no-brainer,” he said, adding that the city has a strong base of volunteers for events.

On Monday, council unanimously supported the 2014 bid.

The city’s economic development and tourism departments will work with Klepp’s group.

“We can do an awesome job. We have the volunteers and the rink in place,” said Coun.

Jack Gilroy.

Vernon last hosted the national championship in 1990 at Civic Arena.

“It brought the whole community together,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol. “It’s long overdue to have it return. This is a community-driven event like no other.”

There may be progress on the cultural scene.

Vernon council met behind closed doors Monday with representatives from the Vernon Public Art Gallery.

“The discussions were about a new art gallery but I can’t get into details,” said Dauna Grant, VPAG executive director.

“We are progressing and a business plan is being finalized.”

The business plan will Dauna Grant eventually be presented to the Regional District of North Okanagan, which is responsible for cultural services in Greater Vernon.

“We hope there will be more concrete information over the next month or so,” said Grant.

Mayor Wayne Lippert Wayne Lippert would not comment on whether a specific location for a gallery has been identified.

“The art gallery continues to look for possible locations but everything is in-camera,” he said, adding that provincial legislation dictates that real estate matters must not be discussed in a public setting.

The gallery presently occupies 6,200-square-feet in the 31st Avenue parkade, but gallery officials say there’s a need for a 16,000-square-foot building with 16-foot-high ceilings.

Climate control is required under federal policies for large, national travelling exhibits.

The goal is to have a new facility in place by 2015 when the gallery will host the Okanagan Print Triennial.

“Being an international event, we want to showcase Vernon,” said Grant.

The Greater Vernon Museum is also in need of additional space, but it has not been part of the discussions between VPAG and the city.

“At this point, it is strictly the art gallery but we are open to considering other organizations,” said Grant.

Identity sought of individual found in Shuswap River ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Dental records will be used to determine the identity of a man’s body pulled from the Shuswap River near Enderby Saturday.

Vernon Search and Rescue crews were on the water searching for an Enderby teen missing since the night of May 27 when they discovered the body at around 3 p.m.

The body was found tangled in some branches just below the water surface three kilometres from Riverside Park. “The body was recovered by our dive team at around 7 p.m. and turned over to the coroner for identification and for the investigation to continue,� said RCMP

spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Due to the advanced state of decomposition of the body, they have to go to dental records, and they hope the identification can be done in the next couple of days.�

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP have two missing people in their region that they are aware of.

One is the 17-year-old Enderby boy, who was last seen in Riverside Park with a group of friends on the evening of May 27.

When he didn’t return home the next day, a family search of the park turned up the teen’s backpack, hoodie and toque beside a picnic table which was in close proximity to the fast-flowing Shuswap River that borders

the park.

The other missing person is a 31-yearold Vernon man presumed drowned after he allegedly fell into the swift waters of Monashee Creek near the Goldpanner Campground near Cherryville on May 20. “We want to be 100 per cent sure with the identity before we release any information,� said Molendyk. “At this point we can’t with just a recovery. We don’t know. It could be an individual we don’t know about. We have to cover all aspects.�

Search and rescue crews have been out near Cherryville a couple of days per week for the last few weeks searching for the miss-

ing Vernon man, but their searches have been hampered by the continually rising levels of Monashee Creek

An emotional milestone

AVIVA FISHING BUDDY CATCH A FISH UP TO 2LBS!!

KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

Emotions ran from laughter to tears, as 166 Kalamalka Secondary School graduates gathered at Wesbild Centre Friday to mark the end of one journey and the beginning of another.

With the girls in elegant gowns, with shoes to match and hair in elaborate updos, and the boys in their best suits, the members of the class of 2011 went all out for the celebration.

Nervous and excited is how Katie Alexander described her emotions.

“I think it’s sad because it’s like saying goodbye to all your friends,” she said.

“But I’m really excited about after-grad and I’ve been looking forward to the hypnotist.”

Her dad, Howard Alexander, feels a huge sense of pride in his daughter.

“This is a big moment, it’s not like a wedding, but it’s a turning point, a milestone,” he said.

“There’s a lot of emotion.

She’s a great kid and I’m very proud of her.”

A classically trained pianist, Katie will attend UBC Okanagan in the fall, but has already earned her certified education assistant through Okanagan College.

She and her friends were also looking forward to serenading grads and guests at the banquet, performing the song, Seasons of Love, with the group Serendipity, which also includes Kayley McNabb, Katrina Bouchard and Sarah Markson.

“I’ve been friends with Katie since kindergarten, so it’s definitely sad to be saying goodbye to so many people,” said Bouchard.

As Brian McMahon led the Kalamalka band in a medley of tunes, the grads gathered in the downstairs dressing rooms that are more commonly the site of knee pads, hockey skates and jerseys than formal wear.

Commencement included the handing out of bursaries and scholarships, and was followed by the banquet and dance, all at Wesbild, with family and friends.

At 11 p.m., the grads moved on to the Vernon Recreation Complex for a celebration that included hypnotist Troy Mitchell, a casino, swimming and dancing.

And while emotions were running high, many grads were also feeling the excitement of an end to high school.

“I’m stoked because I’m going to be out of school and I’m quite happy to be out,” said Tielee McConnery.

Tyler Young can’t wait to be finished school, although he’s not sure what the future holds.

But before the year ends, Young and his classmates wanted to give a shout out to some of the teachers who have made an impact on their lives. “(Band teacher) Mr. McMahon is awesome and (English teacher) Mr. Krahn — they’re just

so supportive and they’re all so great,” said Young, whose classmate, Alejandro Lopez, wanted to make sure counsellor Mrs. Knight also got the recognition she deserved.

Elmaz Bourcet is ready for whatever the future holds, but meanwhile she can’t wait to take a shot at the Velcro wall at aftergrad.

“I’m excited and happy to graduate, but it won’t hit me until it’s over,” she said.

The atmosphere at Wesbild was one of love, of support, and of exuberant energy, with grads joining in shouts of “Grad, 2011,” as they waited to head into the auditorium, making adjustments to their mortar boards, flashing nervous smiles at each other and filled with a sense of hope for the future.

As Pomp and Circumstance is struck up by the band, Elmaz and Katie are the first to make their way into the arena to take their seats, to the sounds of cheers from family and friends.

Vernon School District chairperson Bill Turanski has attended many ceremonies over the years.

“The future is in their hands, and I feel quite comfortable with that,” he said.

Lanes may be trimmed on 43rd Avenue RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A busy Vernon road may be going on a diet.

The city wants to reduce 43rd Avenue, from 32nd to 27th streets, from four to three traffic lanes but it will depend on obtaining a $868,000 government grant.

“It won’t adversely affect capacity and just makes it more efficient,” said Amanda Watson, transportation technician.

The three lanes would include one each way for traffic and a centre two-way, leftturn lane. The space

“It’s such a main east/west corridor.”

— Bob Spiers gained by eliminating the fourth lane would be for cyclists.

“Efficiency is maintained because, especially at peak periods, the inner lanes on a four-lane cross-section are typically used as left-turn lanes, whereas the left-turning vehicles are removed from the through lane on the three-lane cross-sec-

tion,” said Watson.

Watson says other benefits from going to three lanes include lanes reducing speed and accidents.

The only opposition comes from Coun. Bob Spiers.

“It’s such a main east/west corridor,” he said.

“I can’t understand why this would become

the diet road.”

The average daily traffic on 43rd Avenue is between 10,000 and 12,000 vehicles.

Coun.

Mary-Jo O’Keefe supports staff ’s concept because 43rd Avenue would be linked to existing bicycle paths in the area.

“We have too many trails that drive people into the middle of nowhere and don’t connect,” she said.

But while lanes on 43rd Avenue may eventually be trimmed, council has not endorsed a staff recommendation to block left-turn lanes at 31st

Street. Staff insisted that such a move was needed to improve safety.

“Twice now 31st Street has been proposed for no-left turns and there’s been push back (from the public),” said Mayor Wayne Lippert.

“One of the reasons is 29th Street (upgrades) is being done. People are taking shortcuts because they don’t want to take 29th.”

Lippert believes the left-turn at 31st Street can be revisited once the 29th Street project is completed and motorists have adjusted to traffic patterns.

According to a city report, 50 per cent of the collisions on 43rd Avenue occurred at the intersection with 32nd

Pollution levels in Coldstream Creek remain high and that has one politician demanding action.

A Ministry of Environment report to Coldstream council Monday indicated that phosphorous and e.coli continue to be a concern along the creek, which is a source of water for much of Greater Vernon.

“Conditions along the creek have long been a disaster,” said Coun.

Bill Firman.

“In 1999, references were made on how we can improve it and cows are still wandering down the creek.”

Firman isn’t sure which level of government has authority over livestock but he believes jurisdictional issues are irrelevant when health is involved.

“Coldstream council should pass a bylaw

“Cows are still wandering down the creek.”

— Bill Firman restricting access of cattle to the creek. We may not have the power to do it but we must make the effort.”

In his report, Mike Sokal, an impact assessment biologist with the ministry, stated that there were several times during 2010/11 when nitrate levels exceeded guidelines, as did levels for the e.coli bacteria.

“There is a chronic issue throughout the year,” he said.

A high concentration of e.coli was discovered in the Noble Canyon area in fall 2010.

“There has been cattle in that area. Something really should be done about that,” said Sokal.

Council was informed Monday of a pollution prevention order that has been issued to Coldstream Ranch for being in violation of the agricultural waste control regulation.

“Coldstream Ranch has to develop and implement a comprehensive remedial action and monitoring plan.

Any work will be done in the summer and fall,” said Sokal.

However, Sokal is not willing to blame agriculture for all of the creek pollution.

“There are increases in more urban areas.

There are multiple sources along the creek,”

he said.

“There are influences from cattle, horses, dogs and runoff.”

Dogs become an issue in parks next to Coldstream Creek.

“There is no one big thing. There’s a lot of small fixes and it will take time,” said Sokal.

When asked about sewage from Silver Star Mountain Resort possibly contaminating the creek, Sokal said, “It’s unlikely with the evidence we have.”

Coun. Maria Besso believes the creek must be a priority.

“I’ve pulled up reports from 1974 that identified human activity for coliform loading,” she said.

The ministry will continue to monitor water quality along Coldstream Creek and Kalamalka Lake, and Sokal says the ministry will work with the District of Coldstream and stakeholders to

Teens arrested by police ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Four out of five people picked up in a brazen daytime assault on a Vernon resident Friday are teenagers.

A 29-year-old man told police he was kicked, punched and pepper sprayed by four people off 39th Avenue, near the Vernon Recreation Complex at 1:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our investigation has learned there were actually five people involved in this assault/robbery case, and four of them are between the ages of 15 and 17,â&#x20AC;? said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Three individuals were arrested by police a short time later near the recreation complex.

They were released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not spoken to the fourth young person involved as of yet, and the fifth person is believed to be an adult male. We are attempting to locate him,â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four are between the ages of 15 and 17â&#x20AC;?

For the Week of June 15-20, 2011 (or while quantities last)

said Molendyk.

Three of the five people allegedly involved in the assault are female.

Police believe the attack was random in nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no indication that this individual was targeted,â&#x20AC;? said Molendyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The information is that the victim was approached by this group of individuals.â&#x20AC;?

The victim received minor injuries in the incident. His wallet containing cash and credit cards was stolen.

Suspect located by officers ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A man wanted in connection with an attempted robbery of two Vernon women at an ATM machine in May was arrested over the weekend.

Police received a tip Sunday at around 12:30 p.m. that the suspect was at a residence in Westwold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Officers attended the rural property and found the suspect in a bedroom,â&#x20AC;? said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was arrested after a brief struggle.â&#x20AC;?

Police believe the suspect, a 28-year-old Vernon man, arrived at the residence with a Nissan truck and travel trailer that had been reported stolen earlier in the day from Salmon Arm. Local police had been searching for a suspect who, on May 22, allegedly threatened two women with an infected hypodermic needle at the downtown Scotiabank ATM at 1:15 a.m.

A Vernon RCMP officer had been making patrols in the downtown core when he pulled over in front of Scotiabank to answer a message on his

Scam alert issued Morning Star Staff

Instead of cleaning carpets, police say a scam artist is allegedly cleaning bank accounts.

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP have issued an alert to residents of a possible carpet cleaning scam making its way through the area.

It appears a person promoting his company is making door to door appearances about cleaning carpets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The individual wants to come in your house to give an estimate,â&#x20AC;? said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk in explaining the scam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The phone number they are using does not come back to a local company but a random residence in the area.â&#x20AC;?

Molendyk said there is some indication the alleged scam artist or artists are working out of a local motel in Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The police just want to remind anyone who wants to use any service to do some research from places like the Yellow Pages, the Better Business Bureau or even speak to your friends or neighbours,â&#x20AC;? said Molendyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do not be tricked by individuals just walking up to do work off the street. It could cost you a lot more in the long run, and you have no way to re-contact them if the work is not done up to standard.â&#x20AC;?

During the Klondike Gold Rush (1897-1898) Nugget Potatoes were practically worth their weight in gold. In fact, these small spuds were so valued for their rich Vitamin C content that miners actually traded their hard earned gold for them!

Lucky for us, today these delicious and healthy vegetables are much easier to come by!

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gord Molendyk in-car terminal.

The officer noticed three people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two women and a man â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the ATM and one of the women looked upset, so he went to check on the situation.

The two ladies advised the officer that the man had demanded cash and threatened to use an infected needle on them if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply.

When the officer went to speak to the man about the womensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; allegation, he took off running.

The suspect is expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court to face two counts of attempted robbery and possession of stolen property.

Team approach needed

C

ultural activities have been off the political radar for years, but headway is finally being made.

Private discussions have been held between the City of Vernon and the Vernon Public Art Gallery over the prospect of a purpose-built facility downtown by 2015.

Such talks are long past due given that the gallery is in cramped quarters and doesn’t have the light and climate controls necessary to protect precious art.

However, the process Richard Rolke being pursued is a concern given that one organization has been left sitting on the sidelines — the Greater Vernon Museum.

Like the gallery, the museum is also desperately overcrowded, with little space available for public programs and artifacts are at risk because of a lack of a storage.

Previous attempts to bolster the cultural scene have placed the museum and gallery in one building, but that hasn’t been the case this time around. From what I understand, the talks have revolved only around the gallery’s needs.

And, ultimately, that approach could prove disastrous.

After all, local politicians and taxpayers will be responsible for construction and operating costs. There is more chance of success if it can be proven that money is being used wisely and efficiencies can be gained by sharing climate control — which both the gallery and museum require — or things as simple as photocopiers and a reception desk. Senior levels of government are more likely to hand out grants to

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

construction projects that are multi-faceted and exhibit co-operation among various interests.

But beyond dollars and cents, there is another reason that the gallery and museum must work together, and that is the ballot box.

It’s long been proven that referendums to borrow money are far more successful when they appeal to a broad segment of the community.

Think back to the Wesbild Centre vote in 1999 and how it brought together hockey, speed skating, lacrosse, figure skating, trade show promoters, hotels and those interested in general economic development.

Or there was 1992 when far-flung interests aligned to back expansion of the swimming pool and land acquisition for parks, trails and beaches.

The fewer people that have a vested interest in the projects listed on the ballot, the fewer residents motivated to go out and vote. That means those who are simply opposed to their taxes increasing are more likely to prevail.

By coming together, the museum and gallery could rally their die-hard supporters and ensure good turnout at the polls. They could also advocate the plan to voters who are not aligned with either group but are interested in the social and economic wellbeing of Greater Vernon.

Representatives from the Vernon Public Art Gallery and the City of Vernon are to be commended for the steps that have been taken, and it indicates that culture is finally being taken seriously.

But for Greater Vernon residents to truly get the services they deserve, a more inclusive approach is required.

If that occurs, it could be a win-win for everyone involved.

It’s a perfect time to think hockey in June.

Of course, the Vancouver Canucks have a chance to make history tonight by winning their first-ever Stanley Cup, on home ice, in game seven, against the Boston Bruins.

At the same time the province is running rampant with hockey fever comes word that the sixtime national Junior A hockey champion Vernon Vipers will bid on the tournament they have dominated the last three years, the Royal Bank Cup, in 2014.

The Vipers have been in the RBC final the last three years, winning twice and losing this year’s title game, 2-0, in Camrose, Alta. to Ontario’s Pembroke Lumber Kings, who scored the winning goal late in the third period. Pembroke denied Vernon a chance to become the first team to ever win three straight Canadian titles.

The City of Vernon has endorsed the Vipers’ bid to host the national championship.

Really, this is a no-brainer from all aspects.

Vernon teams have appeared in this tournament nine times, winning it all six times. That includes when the tournament was known as the Centennial Cup, and Vernon was the first city to host a fiveteam tournament in 1990. That event ended with an all-B.C. final as the then-Lakers beat the BCHL champion New Westminster Royals in overtime at the aging Vernon Civic Arena in front of an overflow crowd.

The crowds would be bigger and more comfortable in 2014 in the friendly confines of the Wesbild Centre. The volunteers would be plenty. And the event would be an obvious economic boost to the North Okanagan.

No city deserves to host this event more.

It's time to think regionally

I

t seems every week there is a news story about increasing conflicts at the regional district or about another municipality wanting to withdraw from shared services. As a resident of the North Okanagan I am increasingly concerned about the future governance of our community.

I use the singular term, “community”, because in truth the North Okanagan is one large interconnected community. So it warms my heart to see more voices calling for an honest look at how we conduct our affairs municipally, mainly amalgamation. I suggest we take this a step further and start talking about a regional municipality.

We need to look at a regional municipality because the current system is failing. Currently there is more finger pointing and talk about who pays for what and who benefits from whom than real action on issues facing residents of the North Okanagan.

As it stands, the governance behaves as if there are real borders between residents of Vernon and Coldstream, or Vernon and Spallumcheen, or Armstrong and Lumby. The reality is we all live, work and play in each other’s municipal jurisdic-

HOSPITAL SOLUTIONS I have been following the debates and protests over the two unused floors in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. What I have gleaned from these discussions and demonstrations is that there is a shortage of beds causing delays in emergency admitting patients. I did some research and found out the following: 1. According to the Ministry of Health Services: “Wait times for residential care in B.C. have been reduced from up to one year in 2001 to a median wait of less than 90 days today”.

2. The University of British Columbia faculty of medicine states the VJH hospital has 161 acute beds and 161 extended care beds.

3. According to “Health Services – Welcome to the North Okanagan” website northokanagan. net: Vernon Jubilee Hospital – This facility offers a wide array of medical and health services such as emergency, diabetic day care, intensive care, maternity and pediatrics, a cancer clinic, psychiatric care, respiratory therapy and surgical services.

This hospital is the major health facility within the region with a total of 159 beds, 183 extended-care and special extended-care beds.

From these and from personal experience I gather that there are many seniors waiting in acute beds to get placement in a nursing home. Who pays for these extended stays in VJH? Some B.C. hospitals are charging these patients

tions. I live in Spallumcheen but work in Vernon.

I am just as concerned about the actions taken by the City of Vernon as I am about the actions taken by Spallumcheen.

With a regional municipality, one jurisdiction will oversee the provisions of services for the whole North Okanagan. That means no more regional district and no more claims that one group is using the services of another without contributing to them. It means that we can use resources more efficiently and reduce duplication and waste. Accountability improves as decisions makers are responsible to everyone. for extended care, as reported on the CBC. The hospitals charge nursing home fees for care the government should be providing in nursing homes. Why not build more nursing homes?

Why doesn’t the government temporarily turn the two floors in question, into a nursing home environment, staffed with individuals who specialize in the care and nurturing of the elderly.

These patients could wait there until permanent arrangements could be made, rather than taking up a hospital bed in one of the wards.

When the government has built enough facilities to house the growing elderly population, you could simply move all patients, equipment and staff to a new facility, turning the two floors in question to acute care beds.

Turning these floors into a nursing home should come from the government's senior care budget and not affect the operations budget of VJH. This should free up some acute care beds now occupied by senior’s waiting for nursing home placement, ease emergency admitting backlogs, and allow the nursing staff to take care of acute care patients.

I have been in intensive care several times, and it is a shame to not allow these wonderful doctors and nurses to treat acute care patients in a more timely manner.

Malcolm Farago

And if you are concerned about one community electing all members of council, an electoral ward system would prevent it.

What I propose does not mean the end of Coldstream, Vernon, Lumby, Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Enderby and everyone inbetween. We naturally retain the culture and history that makes each place in North Okanagan a pleasure to live in. I offer the Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia as an example. It has been many years that the City of Halifax, Dartmouth and Bedford ceased to be independent jurisdictions but culturally nothing has changed. What they do have is stronger land use planning, comprehensive transit, and better services.

I for one would be proud to belong to the North Okanagan Regional Municipality. It means a more responsible and efficient municipal government. The NORM will focus on solving issues, responding to the needs of residents, and building a stronger community, where everybody knows your name.

Dustin Griffin RESCUE CREWS With regard to the rescue attempt at the Goldpanner campground, I have to commend the rescue team leaders for not subjecting the rescuers to the dangers that lurked in those waters.

The waters were extremely fast, deep and dangerous.

As a former firefighter in the Air Force I know and understand why this would have been a bad decision.

Any attempt to enter those waters would have meant another rescue operation to retrieve a rescuer.

They got this one right.

It's very sad when people criticize volunteers for lack of effort in a situation such as this one.

I feel deeply, the family's pain for their loss.

Losing another person in a rescue attempt would have been even more devastating.

One never gets over losing someone close, but over time, one learns to deal with it....hopefully Making the decision not to enter the water is gut-wrenching, because one's instinct is to go into the water to search, that's what they're trained for.

Perhaps, in the future, we should think about the consequences to the rescuers, who put their lives on the line for their communities on a daily basis, before we criticize.

Loran Benoit

GOOD JOB Everyone seems quick to criticize everything these days, but I would like to send "kudos'" to all the business owners in the city of Vernon who have improved the looks of their buildings with new paint and/or awnings.

The town is looking really nice lately and losing its blah, tired look.

I know it costs money to do these improvements and I, for one, really appreciate their efforts.

Medhurst earns top honour ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

To many in Armstrong and Spallumcheen, Richard Medhurst is an unsung hero.

To the Armstrong Lions Club, Medhurst is “Chef Ricardo,” meaning members of the community who want a wedding, funeral, reunion or whatever event catered, Medhurst is the man they want wearing the apron.

Medhurst organizes meals and does various jobs at the Armstrong Curling Club.

He is a former Spallumcheen mayor, Armstrong councillor, president of Armstrong Minor Softball, and cooks for 4-H Clubs. He has owned the Armstrong, or Blue, Hotel. He has dabbled in farming and real estate.

The unsung hero can now add Citizen of the Year to his resumé.

Medhurst was announced as the 36th annual winner of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce honour in a ceremony Monday at the legion, where Medhurst is a member.

“Richard is a person who is friendly and respectful to all people,” said one of three nomination letters supporting Medhurst’s name for the award. “If you need help and ask, he will be there. He likes to help out his community in any way he can. Richard takes pride in his community.”

A grandfather of four, Medhurst, 70, was joined by his wife, Tiny, son Neil, daughter Lorraine Mazur and son-inlaw Danny Mazur for the ceremony at the Legion, along with about 30 guests.

Richard Medhurst (second from left) toasts being named Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year at the Armstrong Legion with his daughter, Lorraine Mazur (left), wife Tiny and son Neil.

“It is quite a surprise,” said Medhurst, a Lions Club and Armstrong Curling Club member. “I never think of stuff like this for me. I did nominate someone once and she ended up getting the award so I guess we have something in common now.

“I’m also honoured to have my name associated with the past winners.”

Medhurst will join other past winners at a special Citizen of the Year luncheon on June 20.

He will then be honoured publicly during Armstrong-Spallumcheen

Canada Day celebrations July 1 at Memorial Park.

Which, of course, means he’ll have to be taken away from his cooking duties in the Lions Club concession during the Funtastic Slo-Pitch tournament.

“I guess I’ll have to get some time off from those duties,” Medhurst laughed.

The Citizen of the Year award is supported by the City of Armstrong, Township of Spallumcheen, Armstrong Flower & Gift Shoppe, Junction Café, and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce.

Vernon wants grow-op details RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There is a concern that medicinal marijuana may be fuelling criminal activity.

On Monday, the City of Vernon supported the RCMP’s demands that the federal government notify enforcement agencies and municipalities on where licenses to grow marijuana have been issued.

“We need to know where they are so we can make sure things are policed properly and there is no risk to neighbours,” said Coun. Bob Spiers.

The RCMP claim licensed medical marijuanagrow sites have led to participation by organized crime and home invasions because of the potential profits from the illegal sale of marijuana.

A recent study looked at 180 medicinal marijuana-grow sites across Canada between 2004 and 2010. It indicated that 67 were involved in trafficking and production beyond the terms of the federal license.

“We have had concerns for children in those homes having access to chemicals in grow-ops,” said Supt. Reg Burgess, with the Vernon RCMP. “There is insufficient control given to local authorities on where medical grow-ops should be.”

Burgess says Health Canada only has one inspector per 388 licenses in the country.

“Health Canada can license medical marijuana growing sites but it has no capacity to inspect them and the community has no capacity to know where they are,” he said.

Besides potential criminal activity, there is a concern that there is an increased risk of fire in grow-ops and chemicals may be dumped into the

sewer system.

“We can’t access who they are under Health Canada,” said Clint Kanester, the city’s bylaw enforcement manager, of federal privacy laws.

Vernon will pursue the matter at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. If there is sufficient support there, the federal government will then be lobbied to make changes to its notification process.

Parade offers ringside seat for MVA Morning Star Staff

A number of people watching the Lumby Days parade Saturday saw something that wasn’t part of the parade planning.

A hit-and-run on Shuswap Avenue was observed by a number of witnesses as the annual parade was ending.

“A man had attempted to squeeze his vehicle between an occupied parked car and oncoming traffic and pedestrians,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce.

“He sideswiped the entire length of a parked car.”

Proce said an elderly male in the car was slightly injured, and his vehicle was damaged from front to rear.

An off-duty police officer followed the suspect vehicle as it fled the scene.

The occupants parked the car and tried to leave on foot, but both were apprehended.

The driver, a 24-yearold Lumby man, was issued violation tickets for hit-and-run and careless driving.

“He also refused to provide a sample of his breath when demanded by police,” said Proce, adding the suspect’s vehicle was seized for 30 days and the driver now faces a 90-day driving suspension as well.

During Lumby Days,

“He sideswiped the entire length of the car” — Henry Proce local police issued 10 Liquor Act violations for consuming liquor in a public place.

The $230 tickets, said Proce, were issued to youth in the parking areas around the Lumby Days venue and in and around the skateboard park.

Police also processed three impaired drivers and three young men were arrested by officers for causing disturbances.

Father’s Day event takes flight ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Settled comfortably in the pilot seat of his Beech Bonanza fourseater aircraft, Barry Jackson lets his 11-yearold co-pilot handle the controls with one hand while Jackson keeps a firm grip.

It’s been a short flight over the city and now, as the pair approach the runway at the Vernon Airport, Jackson has his young co-pilot follow him through on the movements as they ease the Beech back onto the ground.

As soon as the plane stops, the co-pilot bolts from his seat out onto Jackson’s wing and shouts to his waiting parents, “Mom, dad, I landed the airplane.”

And it’s because of such stories that Jackson and other Vernon Flying Club members donate their time and aircraft to introduce kids to flying through the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association’s COPA For Kids program.

“It’s an incredible program,” said Jackson, 75, a former Vernon Flying Club president and COPA captain for the Vernon club. “I do it for the fantastic satisfaction of seeing the joy in these kids as they try a new experience.”

Kids seven to 17 will have a chance to take a free introductory 20-minute flight around the North Okanagan during the Vernon Airport’s Wings and Wheels event on Father’s Day, Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Youth will have a chance to take to the skies during Wings and Wheels at the Vernon Airport Sunday. their kids at the airport that day and after a little ground school which explains how an aircraft operates and how the controls work, it’s out to the waiting aircrafts on the runway.

“We’ve got sevento-10 aircraft operating and we have a pattern worked out so it works for the number of aircraft,” said Jackson. “We usually take off and go out over Adventure Bay Point, up to the other end of the lake, out to Armstrong, back over the city and return to the airport.

“If a kid lives in a particular area close by, we’ll take them because, of course, they want to see their house.”

In 2010, the Vernon club flew more children during COPA For Kids

– 373 – than any other club in Canada.

Jackson, who started flying 50 years ago in Powell River because “I always wanted to fly,” flew 73 kids during the COPA event, the most of any pilot in Canada.

“It’s just so much fun,” said the semiretired real estate developer and builder.

The idea of COPA For Kids is to get people involved in aviation.

Two kids that Jackson has flown in the 10 years he’s been involved have gone on to get their commercial pilot’s license.

Last year’s flying club bursary winner was a girl who was taken on a flight during COPA three years ago.

Should the weather not be favourable, or

there’s an overflow of registration, the pilots will take the kids up at a later date.

While the COPA For Kids event runs until 1 p.m., Wings and Wheels at the airport will run until 4 p.m. Sunday.

In addition to the flights, there will be custom cars and tractors, drag races – including Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert racing his dragster – and exhibitions from the RapAttack helicopter.

If not on a mission, a military rescue helicopter is scheduled to attend. There will also be BMX bike and skateboard demonstrations, food and entertainment.

Proceeds are returned to the community through the efforts of local Rotary clubs.

Lake Country bylaw taps into Oyama water rights CHRIS LAW Black Press

The issue of water rights in Oyama is turning out to be a pivotal matter in a zoning amendment bylaw currently being considered

by Lake Country council.

The bylaw would grant the ability to the owners of eight large acreages on Oyama Lake Road to subdivide their properties into smaller parcels of land.

A public hearing drew a packed house to the municipal hall where residents in the area had the opportunity to express their views on the proposal. Dwindling well water availability in the sparsely populated neighborhood dominated the conversation.

Water from the affected properties is used for everything from residential use to farming.

The bylaw’s applicant, Mario Russo, acknowledges the importance of access to water. While the proposed bylaw would set the minimum parcel size at 10 acres, the ability to drill wells would be the real determinant in the number of properties that could be created.

“I don’t know how many lots I can actually get on there, it’s all dependant on the abil-

ity to draw water,” says Russo.

Of course water flows downhill, so residents along the lower parts of Oyama Lake Road are concerned over the impact that increasing water extraction further up the hill will have on their existing wells.

“Well water is an issue for everyone there when you’re talking about drilling more wells,” said Rick Johnson.

Johnson went on to say that some wells on the lower properties are currently capable of drawing less than a gallon per minute while others further up the hill are able to draw several dozen gallons per minute.

Coun. Penny Gambell put the issue into perspective, posing a question to her colleagues around the table.

“Does council have the responsibility to ensure that residents farther downstream have access to adequate water,” said Gambell.

Director of Development Services Mike Reiley commented that Gambell’s question is certainly a valid concern for council to consider when evaluating development in the area.

The bylaw amendment has come about

Restaurant raises food bank funds Morning Star Staff

A Vernon restaurant is showing support for residents in need.

Edo Japan on Highway 6 will be giving away samples of teriyaki chicken and sukiyaki beef Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

Cash donations and non-perishable food items will be accepted for the Salvation Army food bank, and cash donations will be matched.

“The goal is for people to come out, enjoy themselves, get to know one another and enjoy some delicious, fresh and healthy food while supporting a good cause,” said local franchise owner Michelle Chapman.

“It’s also a good opportunity for people to try something new.”

The Salvation Army food bank served more than 1,100 people during March, 30 per cent of which were children.

“We appreciate this new initiative from Edo Japan, and as they encourage healthy eating,” said David MacBain, Salvation Army community ministries director.

“We also ask participants in this event to think healthy when choosing what to offer. Some suggested items are whole grains, rice, tomato products and canned fruit.”

the minimum parcel size to approximately 70 acres, effectively making it impossible for the property owners to subdivide.

At the time that public input was being gathered for the 2009 zoning bylaw Russo and other affected property owners expressed a concern to the district over losing the ability to subdivide their land however nothing was done at the time to address

“Does council have the responsibility to ensure... access to adequate water?”

— Penny Gambell as a result of the adoption of the district’s first in-house created zoning bylaw, which was adopted in 2009. Prior to the adoption of that bylaw,

zoning in Lake Country was regulated by a preincorporation bylaw created by the Regional District of the Central Okanagan in 1981.

The 1981 bylaw permitted the Oyama Lake Road properties in question to subdivide down as small 10 acres. The 2009 bylaw increased

The bylaw amendment is essentially a revisiting of the matter to restore the right to subdivide that property owners enjoyed when they bought their land under the old bylaw.

Aside from access to water, any new lots that are created under the amendment would be subject to access to existing roads, topographical suitability, and a ten-acre minimum lot size.

“Blackhawks down, Predators surround, The whale ate the shark Didn’t even let it drown, Now it’s time for coffee Get the Bruin on the ground, Made it to the final two And now we’re viewin’ up the crown.”

— Verse from The Cup by Immaculate

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Immaculate (Julian Wolansky) and Memo (Malcolm Otter) wear their team on their sleeves. The local hip hop artists have written a song in ode to the Vancouver Canucks, which they hope will go viral as the team plays the final game for the Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins tonight.

Rappers want The Cup to runneth over KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

It’s been a tense couple of weeks in the lives of Vancouver Canucks fans. So tense, they have had to find ways to release some of those highs and lows through other means than yelling at their televisions.

Two young Vernonites have found a way to encapsulate their feelings through the power of words.

Local hip hop artists Immaculate and Memo (aka Julian Wolansky and Malcolm Otter) have just laid down a new song that is so far getting some good reviews, especially from fellow fanboys and girls.

Not unlike the song How the West was Won, recorded to acclaim by Vancouver hip hop artist Kyprios (of Sweatshop Union fame) back in April, Immaculate and Memo

hope their newer anthem will reach the rafters when the final game for the Stanley Cup is played tonight at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena.

Entitled The Cup, the video for the song, released only a few days ago, has so far reached more than 1,100 hits on YouTube, and more listeners are expected as the song has been passed on to various radio stations, sports networks, and the CBC, said Wolansky (Immaculate).

“We’re doing everything in our power to get the song out there,” he said, adding, “We’re also working on a radio edit that will be available on YouTube with the one swear word taken out.”

The Cup came to Immaculate and Memo after Game 2 in the Stanley Cup finals, when the Canucks beat the Boston Bruins 3-2

June 4.

The two hip hop artists were playing the last show of the Rock 4 MS tour with Aimie Laws in Salmon Arm while the game was on.

“Everyone in the bar was chanting ‘who wants the cup, we want the cup,’” said Wolansky. “We decided to use that in the chorus, and Malcolm did the first verse. I was up ‘til 2 a.m. writing and recording the song to get it out for Game 5.”

A sound engineer, Wolansky recorded and mixed the song at home, and enlisted his friend, Joe Gooden, who attends the Centre for Arts and Technology (CATO) in Kelowna, to make a video.

“He whipped it up in 20 minutes,” said Wolansky. “The video is all stills of players pieced together. There are even flashes of

McLean and Bure.”

In the opening verse, Memo references the last time The Canucks were in the Stanley Cup finals in ‘94 with Trevor Linden getting the score, goalie Kirk McLean shutting the door, and Pavel Bure being the top drawer, then transitions to present day.

“We reference a lot of players from back then and today,” said Wolansky, who raps that he never watched hockey until he turned 13, and is now a fan through and through. “It’s a three minute song; short and sweet.”

As for his team being trounced in Boston Monday, Wolansky remains optimistic.

“We’ve had a tough time in Boston, but I have to admit I was hoping for Game 7, and I really hope Vancouver will take it.”

Missoula theatre camp is more than just learning lines Morning Star Staff

Missoula Children’s Theatre is returning to Vernon this summer and registration is now open for a theatrical experience of a lifetime.

North America’s largest touring children’s theatre will arrive once again July 4 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre with all the ingredients for their new production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, except the cast.

Local children ages six to 18 will not only learn all the fundamentals of musical theatre, they

will have the chance to be a part of a production open to the public, said the Performing Arts Centre’s audience development coordinator Brian van Wensem.

“For those who aren’t interested in being in the spotlight, there are also four backstage spots available that will teach important fundamentals of running a production from behind the scenes,” he said, adding no advanced preparation is necessary.

“Participants need only to arrive with the desire to join an on-stage

adventure, learning a unique adaptation to the classic story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It’s an experience that develops creativity, social skills, goal achievement and self esteem.”

The Missoula Children’s Theatre has been touring extensively for 38 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,300 communities this year with up to 45 teams of tour actor/directors.

The production is more than memorizing lines. Missoula’s mission statement is “the development

of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts.”

“While children are learning this theatrical production they will also have the opportunity to explore who they are as actors and people,” said van Wensem.

The camp starts July 4 and runs to July 8 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with additional workshops being offered outside of those times.

On July 9, the 40-to-60 member cast will be ready to take Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the

stage for two performances at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Registration forms can be obtained through the Ticket Seller box office, located in the Performing Arts Centre. Registration is firstcome-first-served and there are a total of 60 casting spots available: 13 for ages six to seven, 22 for ages eight to 12, and 20 for ages 13 to 18. An additional four spots are available for assistant directors (backstage) open to ages 12 to 18.

Wentworth students pay tribute to the Mac Young musicians to raise funds for hospital campaign with Don’t Stop Morning Star Staff

Yesterday’s not gone when it comes to the love for a certain band whose songs still live on for those who have a record player, as well as for those who now watch the show Glee.

And now local fans can sing along when Wentworth Music holds Don’t Stop, a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, Sunday at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium.

For those who didn’t catch the recent episode of Glee, which paid tribute to the band’s iconic album, Rumours, Fleetwood Mac was one of the cutting edge groups of the ‘70s.

Made up of American and British musicians, (the most noted lineup being Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie, and Christine McVie), the band released its top-selling album, Rumours, in 1977. It remained No. 1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks, and reached the top spot in various countries around the world.

To this date, the album has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, making it the ninth highest selling album of all time.

After a successful inaugural concert, A Beatles Tribute, in March, Wentworth students have been working hard on another themed concert production, said Noel Wentworth, vice president of music education at

Wentworth Music.

Rather than the traditional music recital, the students have been learning songs from famous bands and rehearsing together as 10 individual bands.

“It’s all about the kids and giving them an opportunity to play together in front of a live audience. If you had a student take music lessons and then not give him, or her, the opportunity to play in a band, it would be like telling a goalie to practise but never play in a game,” said Wentworth.

And the choice of covering Fleetwood Mac tunes was a clear one.

“The band brings memories back to many of us, but for the students of Wentworth Music, it’s the idea of a change from a traditional concept of what music lessons have been about,” said Wentworth.

The music school will once again be supporting the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s Tower of Care campaign with proceeds from its concert.

“In essence it’s kids helping kids through something they are passionate about,” said Wentworth. “(The) students are working hard towards showing people they can make a difference in the community they live in.”

Don’t Stop –– a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac takes place at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium Sunday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students, available at Wentworth Music, and Wentworth Music Education Centre, at 4301-29th St., Vernon.

Hit men try to handle the truth Morning Star Staff

Audiences will be able to get into the minds of two hit men waiting for their next assignment when The Tragically Comic Players presents Harold Pinter’s comedy of menace, The Dumb Waiter.

The show runs at the Elks Hall in Vernon June 24 and 25 and stars Jason Mynett, last seen in the production of Art at the Elks, as well as Phillip Wagner, artistic director of the Tragically Comic Players, with production design by Amy Wagner.

Mynett and Wagner play hit men who are ostensibly not too bright, but they deal with the absurd mystery that presents itself in their waiting room, with an arduous struggle of profound intensity.

“The resulting comedy is subtle and menacing,” said Wagner, who last staged a musical theatre performance during Vernon Winter Carnival, and is based out of Lumby.

The Dumb Waiter is one of many plays penned

by Pinter, who in 2005, won the highest honour available to any writer in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Horace Engdahl, chairman of the Swedish Academy, said that Pinter was an artist “who in his plays uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression’s closed rooms.”

Pinter himself wrote: “There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false.

“I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality

Audiences will be able to ask themselves those very questions when The Dumb Waiter takes the stage for three performances, Friday, June 24 at 8 p.m., and Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., at the Elks Hall, 3103-30th St. in Vernon. Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door and The Bean Scene.

This year’s Caetani artist-in-residence, James Postill, will present his work to date on the frescos he is painting on the walls of the Straw Bale studio.

Children will work hands on with Postill as he gives a taste of the Garden Art Adventure Camps for kids running at the centre this summer.

Devon Muhlert, music instructor who has been named “Ms. Music” by her students, will play old favourites and original music on flute and guitar (but not at the same time.) Her CDs of original and meditative music will also be offered for sale.

Daniel Stark will perform on the sarode (an East Indian lute), accompanied by Bill Boyd on cello and Brent Endridge on guitar, providing a mellow atmosphere.

Following the festival theme, those attending the art markets will be able to purchase their tickets in advance for both the Komasket and Rarearth music festivals this summer.

The Caetani Art Market runs this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on times and vendors see the Caetani website at www. caetaniculturalcentre.org

The Caetani Cultural Centre kicks off summer by celebrating the solstice with the first of four open air art markets Saturday.

Visitors to the market are promised an event packed with diversity, activity and family entertainment.

“We have a great variety of stalls this year, with paintings, organics, pottery, sculpture and photography,” said the centre’s executive director Judy Katalinic. “A colourful café, music and performance art will add to the festival atmosphere and make it a day out for everyone to enjoy.”

Kids can get a taste of festival season with a performance by the Komasket kids in the afternoon, choreographed by Angela Roy of Kamp Kindness. She will also lead a rhythm and performance art workshop for kids six to 12 at 1 p.m.

In the open studios, Mireille Gourlay will show her spring/summer collection of wearable art.

Painters Colleen Couves, Angela Broad and David Goodliffe will demonstrate their individual techniques and different styles of painting in their studios.

News Old tires drive new fitness area Morning Star Staff

Recycling old tires has paid off for a Vernon park.

Tire Stewardship B.C. is providing $10,700 to the Regional District of the North Okanagan for a new outdoor fitness area at Polson Park.

“The funding from the Tire Stewardship B.C. community grant program has helped Vernon to provide a safe surface for the new outdoor fitness equipment that was recently installed,” said Tannis Nelson, RDNO community development co-ordinator.

TSBC provides financial support to communities that use B.C. recycled rubber products in projects such as playgrounds, spray parks or running tracks.

“We’re thrilled to be able to help communities with the funding they need to make their projects a reality,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC executive director. “These projects are meant to enhance the community experience for all residents.”

Funding for the community grant program comes directly from the eco-fee that each retailer remits to TSBC for every new tire sold.

Sponsors teeing up for community golf Morning Star Staff

Community support is lining up behind a fundraiser for Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Sponsors are in place for the July 10 Community Golf Day tournament which is being organized by the Kalamalka Rotary Club and the Vernon Golf and Country Club.

“The community sponsorship support has been excellent,” said Darryl O’Brian, Kal Rotary’s sponsor chairperson.

“The tournament will offer a $10,000 golf cart, a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup and a $10,000 investment package as hole in one prizes. Sponsors are First Choice Golf, Vernon Dodge and Greg McKinnon/ Sunlife.”

Sladen Moore Chartered Accountants is sponsoring the golf carts and Sunshine Autographics is providing signage while Kiss FM and The Morning Star are the media sponsors.

Individual hole sponsors include Nixon Wenger, O’Callaghan Bilodeau, the Paddock Tack and Togs, Prospera Credit Union, Clarke Robinson, Vernon

Dodge, Edward Jones/Bruce Shepherd, Candeloro/ May Wealth Management, KPMG, Davidson Lawyers, Lett Agar, Royal LePage, National Bank Financial, Romei Plummer and Andy Erickson/Investors Group.

A small number of sponsorships are still available and include a complimentary round of golf for a foursome. Further information is available from O’Brian at 250-545-1555.

Proceeds from the event will go towards the maternal child department in VJH’s new patient care tower.

A round of golf is $50 and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation will issue tax receipts for all donations.

“We expect a full day of golf July 10,” said Bruce Shepherd, an event organizer. “We once again want to thank the golf club for their generous donation of the golf course for the day.”

Early tee time booking is recommended. Golfers can book for the event by calling 250-542-9126 or e-mailing shannon@vernongolf.com.

Vintage car owners collect tools for charity group KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

When members of the Sun Valley Cruisers Car Club get together, the talk inevitably turns to vintage cars.

But recently, the vintage car buffs turned their attention to the needs of others around the world, donating their gently used tools for disaster relief.

“We had a meeting and all of us thought this would be a good thing because all of us have extra tools we’re not using and felt this would be a good way to clean out our tool sheds while at the same time helping those less fortunate,” said Oscar DesRosiers, with the club.

The tool collection started when DesRosiers and other members spotted an ad for KMS Tools Rental’s program, Tools For Disaster Relief, which was encouraging people to clean out their garage or shed and donate their used tools for community rebuilding around the world, for which they would receive a tax receipt while at the same time helping people to rebuild their lives.

“The tools go to wherever they are needed most,” said DesRosiers.

“We talked it over at the meeting and we all gathered up a bunch of tools we’re not using.

“The guys thought it was a great idea.

“They could end up anywhere, from Indonesia, to Cuba to New Orleans, for rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina.”

The club gathered up the tools and delivered them to the KMS store in Kelowna.

Once the store has enough, a container is filled for shipping anywhere around the world.

“What’s interesting is that some of the most valued tools in some parts of the world are things like hand saws and hand drills because of a lack of power in some places.”

Sun Valley Cruisers Car Club is a hot rod and custom car club started in 1994 by a few car enthusiasts and has grown to about 50 members.

“The club was formed to keep members informed about rod runs, car shows and cruising together,” said club member Don Leveille.

“Over the years the club has donated $300 to Vernon Jubilee Hospital and $1,200 to Hospice House through their collection of aluminum from the members.

“When KMS tools contacted the club about donating used tools for needy countries, the club members responded with a truck load of tools.”

Q T I P

In order to be happier and accomplish more, one of the more significant things you’ll do in the year ahead is try to bring various segments of your life into better balance. Once you do, the results will be extremely gratifying.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It is never a good day to champion an unpopular cause, but now may be an exceptionally bad time to do so. Don’t force your views on others, unless you relish a hostile reception.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Generally, teaming up with someone usually turns out to be rather fortunate for you, but today could prove to be an exception. Go it alone if at all possible, or put off your plans until another time.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) The disorder you find in your household may be your doing more than anybody else’s, especially if you are having one of your moody days. The finger of blame will be pointed squarely at you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you find that you have more responsibilities piling up than you can handle, do what you can without becoming frustrated. You’ll take care of business in due time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid making any commitments, regardless if they are verbal or written. What people say or even put in writing will not stand the test of time, and will come back to haunt you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be careful how you handle some shocking hearsay conveyed by a talkative friend. If you repeat it to others without first having its validity checked, trouble could ensue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Friends or associates won’t think less of you for avoiding problem areas that could cause you trouble. In fact, they’ll admire you for your good judgment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You’re a person who usually doesn’t turn a deaf ear to the advice or suggestions of cohorts.

Today, to your loss, you’ll have little interest in what others are saying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If there are persons involved in your commercial affairs with whom you’ve never before dealt, tread slowly and cautiously. Check them out first before doing business.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you need an emissary or someone to represent you in a matter that is of great importance to you, be extremely selective. If you make a bad choice, the issue will get worse.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Avoid being compelled to make an important decision under strong pressure, especially if your judgment isn’t running up to par. Postpone doing so until another time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) All those nasty jobs you’ve been putting off might catch up with you and demand attention.

It isn’t likely that you’ll have as much latitude as last time.

Village Green Centre, Vernon

Bridge by Phillip Alder Robert Altman, a film director and screenwriter who died in 2006, said, “To play it safe is not to play.” He obviously was not a bridge player.

How should South play as safely as possible in this three-no-trump contract? West leads his fourth-highest heart and East puts up the jack.

North’s three-diamond rebid guarantees at least a six-card suit and promises a good 14 to a so-so 17 high-card points. (Note that six diamonds is only slightly worse than a finesse. It needs West to have the trump king, but fails if he has four or five diamonds.)

The original declarer grabbed the first trick with his heart king and ran the

diamond 10. East happily won with his king and returned the heart two (his original fourth-highest) and West took four tricks in the suit for down one.

South, as defeated declarers are wont to do, grumbled about bad luck.

But this gave North his opportunity. “You know from the first trick that West has the ace-10 of hearts hovering over your queen-nine. If East had the ace, he would have played it, third hand high.

And if East had the jack and 10, he would have put up the 10, the lower of equal cards when playing third hand high. To keep East off the lead, play a club to dummy’s king and run the spade 10. It loses and West shifts to

a diamond, but you with dummy’s ace, play a spade to your ace, lead a club to dummy’s ace, and play a spade to your nine.

You take three spades, one heart, one diamond and four clubs. Your chances are 77.6 percent, much better than the 50-50 diamond finesse.”

Tourism a good fit for Vernon royalty Morning Star Staff

Formal gowns and business suits are the expected attire when Queen Silver Star Aksana Skrinnikoff and Princess Silver Star Kaitlyn Chirkoff travel.

But what do they wear when gowns and suits are not appropriate?

Up until this week, they coordinated whatever was in their closet but now Tourism Vernon has stepped forward to provide casual wardrobes for them to wear as they travel throughout the province.

“Representing Vernon is the primary purpose for travelling to other communities,” said Brittany Sjoblom, vice chair of the Queen Silver Star Excellence Program. “Having clothing that identifies them as coming from Vernon, brings further recognition to our community.”

The colourful, comfortable pieces include a vest, jacket and short and long sleeve tops. Each piece is embroidered with the Vernon logo and its tagline:

Longboarders from all over the world chase $2,000 prize purse Morning Star Staff

A total of 85 longboard daredevils chased a $2,000 prize purse in the Vernon DH North American Championships last weekend on Middleton Mountain.

It was the first stop in the five-race International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) NorAm Downhill Series, featuring participants from as far away as Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Quebec, Colombia and Mexico.

There were 82 male riders in the Open and 32 in the Junior divisions. There were three female entrants in the Open Women.

Close to a dozen Vernon athletes competed in the Open and Junior divisions.

There were also races in the street luge and inline skating categories.

Residents were very accommodating as the athletes shredded the one-kilometre course through their streets for two days.

The City of Vernon was also instrumental in supporting the race.

Former world champion Mischo Erban masterfully organized the race in which spectators were treated to many spills and intense action.

Offsetting the intense competition were numerous moments of camaraderie, including when one of the racers in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open chose to tend to her fallen competitor rather than finish the race herself.

Rattlers top Cats Shamrocks hold off South Okanagan The Kamloops Rattlers share last place, but they play their best games against the Vernon Re/Max Tigers.

The Rattlers brushed back the Tigers 11-9 Sunday night at Memorial Arena, beating Vernon for the second time in three Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League meetings this season.

Vernon started the weekend by shading the Kamloops Venom 6-5 Saturday night at the Wesbld Centre.

“We fell asleep in the second period and they scored six,” said Vernon coach Dave McWhirter, of Sunday’s showing.

“Mentally, we weren’t tough enough. We shot ourselves in the foot.

We weren’t owning the ball and losing our checks on defence.”

Starting goalie Josh Point had to leave the game in the second period when a rivet fell out of his helmet.

Midget call-up Tyler Landry was pressed into duty and allowed three goals before finding his groove.

“We threw Tyler to the wolves, but he pulled himself together and knuckled down after those three goals,” said McWhirter, running the bench with head coach Myles Brumpton away.

McWhirter praised

Jay Seaton, Craig Bigsby, captain Brett Hanna and Brennan Plante for solid outings.

“The rest of the guys were passengers until the third period,” said McWhirter.

It was 2-2 after one period and 8-5 Rattlers after 40 minutes. The Rattlers went to 3-8, tied with the South Okanagan Flames for sixth spot. Vernon dipped to 5-5-1, tied with the Venom for third.

In Saturday’s tilt, Nolan Frame (2+1) scored the winner with less than two minutes to go on a nice play that was set up on the bench in an attempt to open up Kamloops’ stifling zone defence.

Frame leads the Tigers with 13 goals and 33 points.

Cole Lawrie, with 1+3, Riley Soleway and Mitch Steel completed the Tigers’ offence.

Said Brumpton: “The game was a good opportunity for the coaching staff to show the younger players that we can win in any situation, seeing as we led the entire game until about halfway through the third period, when Kamloops went up 5-4, and then the boys had to put on their work boots to take the lead back and then hold on to it for the win in the last few

minutes.”

Brumpton was pleased with the Cats’ discipline (two minor penalties) and how they adjusted to a new system implemented just a few weeks ago.

“Brennan Plante delivered some bonecrushing hits in the second and third that left a few of the Kamloops boys wondering if it was really all that necessary (or worth it) to cut through the middle just to score – we noticed more outside shots in the third,” added Brumpton.

Hanna scored the tying goal that began with a great steal on defence.

He then rushed down the floor to bury it with less than five minutes left.

Riley Donahue scored twice for the Venom, who outshot the Tigers 42-35.

Meanwhile, the Armstrong Shamrocks shaded the Flames 9-8 Sunday night in Penticton with the teams combining for 105 penalty minutes.

The Flames jumped out to a 4-0 firstperiod lead before the Shamrocks came to life on the first possession of the second and scored seven goals, led by leading sniper Owen Barker’s hat trick.

Barker added another goal in the

He leads the Irish with 20-24-44, second in the league. Stephen Ringdal pocketed 2+2, while Brett Hawrys, Joel Castle and Willy Hanley each scored once.

The Flames attempted a comeback in the third but goals from Barker and Hanley sealed the win. The Shamrocks improved to 7-3-1, two points

back of the first-place Kelowna Raiders.

“It was ugly, but it was a win,” said Shamrock GM Jim Maundrell. “Our goaltender, Cole MacFarlane (37 saves), had a really nice game.

He’s a really good ball stopper and he has a good stick. They had him down for one assist, but he actually had two.”

MacFarlane is a

Two first-half giveaways and a defensive error early in the second sealed the game, played on an immaculate pitch.

The Stars dipped to 6-2-1, while Penticton went to 6-0-3.

The North Country Appraisals Kickers stuffed the Big O Tire Ogopogos 9-1 at Rutland Field.

Legends settle for overtime lacrosse silver Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Nor/Val Hi-Pro Legends bowed 7-6 in overtime to the Kelowna Kodiaks in Sunday’s Rock The House Pee Wee A2 gold-medal final at Wesbild Centre.

It was almost a carbon copy of a preliminary game as the Legends once again led the Kodiaks until Kelowna evened it up with 1:48 left in the third to send it to overtime.

The Legends outworked and outchanced the Kodiaks in OT, hitting the crossbar or post five times. With only 41 seconds left, Kelowna’s Josh Dubrett was able to side step his check and make a beautiful shot past Legend goaltender Jakob Schweb for the winner.

“Although the score didn’t go our way we were very happy with how the kids played,” said Legends’ coach Harold Mann.

“Kelowna is a good team with some big key players that are tough to shut down.

“Each and every game we play them, our kids are getting better and getting more of the chances. We believe our kids are getting ready to peak at the right time with the provincial championships coming next month.”

Conor Webb supplied 2+1 for the Legends, while Jayden Hunter earned

1+2 and other goals came from Jake Pelletier, Jaxson Cummings and Stephane Richard.

Teams from Mission, Calgary, Prince George, Kamloops and Kelowna participated in the A side with Kelowna a last-minute replacement for Red Deer.

The Legends opened by mauling the Mission Mud Dawgs 15-8 with Niklas Luttmerding pocketing 3+2 and Pelletier getting 3+1.

Jayden Hunter and Chase Bronson each counted 2+1, while Webb, Brett Olsen, Cummings, Shelby Conors and Riley Swiscoski fired singles. Brady Marzocco collected two helpers.

North Okanagan then settled for an 8-8 with the Kodiaks, giving up two goals in the last 2:30.

Webb wired 4+1, while Pelletier had 1+4 and other goals came from Marzocco, Bronson and Jayden Hunter.

The Legends stung the Calgary Hornets 11-5 to finish preliminary action with Webb counting 4+1 and Luttmerding and Hunter each scoring twice.

Richard and Bronson added singles and Pelletier earned three assists.

The undefeated Legends meet the Kodiaks in league play tonight in Rutland. The two teams battled to a tie in their last outing.

United girls shine Morning Star Staff

The Vernon United warmed up for the Thompson Okanagan Under 16 Girls Rep Soccer League playoffs by stuffing Kelowna United 3-0 Sunday at Marshall Field.

Vernon took the lead after Marisa Berg buried a penalty kick in the first half. In a more intense second half, Vernon picked it up and played hard.

The play of the game was a run by Danielle Jackson, who deked around a couple of Kelowna girls before kicking a long shot that hit the post but was quickly popped in by Jackson, making it 2-0 Vernon.

Jackson scored again later in the half.

Outstanding play was turned in by Kali Wells, Dory Geelkerken and Megan Prentice, who helped secure the shutout for ace keeper Candice Lipski.

The U16 girls go to Kamloops this weekend for the playoffs with the hopes of making it to the provincials.

In U12 Girls Rep Development play, the shortstaffed United #2 lost 2-0 to Kamloops White in Revelstoke with keepers Sam Head and Ashley Glinsbockel making numerous saves.

United then bowed 1-0 to Kelowna #2 with Madison Catt and Andie Kaneda sharing goalkeeping duties.

United U14s topple Revelstoke In U14 Boys Rep play, the Vernon United toppled Revelstoke 5-2 Sunday morning at Marshall Field.

Revelstoke opened the scoring in the 15th minute mark on a chip shot from 25 yards that eluded back-up keeper Bryce Dyck.

Lucas Ross equalized 10 minutes later on a penalty kick, awarded after Liam Ross was taken down in the box.

Matthew Kreutz put the United boys ahead 2-1 just before half time as he screamed around a Revelstoke defender and potted a shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Lucas Ross scored early in the second half, and a few minutes later, Brandon Melbourne scored his first of the year on a great header off a Lucas Ross corner.

Revelstoke rebounded with a goal of their own to cut the lead in half, but Zac Kronbauer, on a long cross from Jorden Dewing, rounded out the scoring.

In U13 Rep Boys action, Vernon United closed out the regular season game Sunday at Marshall Field by losing 3-1 to Kelowna United.

Bryn Bedard received a pass just outside the 18-yard box and slipped past a Kelowna defender and beat the keeper five hole to put United up 1-0 midway through the first half.

Kelowna equalized with just minutes to go in the half. The second half had both teams pressing but Vernon couldn’t find the back of the net and Kelowna scored twice.

Late in the game, Nick Klymchyk just missed on a penalty shot that was saved by a diving Kelowna keeper.

Coach Joe Gourdine noted the game was much closer than the score indicated, and the team needs to bear down and work hard for the playoffs this weekend in Kamloops.

Vernon’s U12 Silver Star Mountain Lions ended their Rep Development season with an exclamation mark with back-to-back victories at McArthur Island Sports Centre in Kamloops.

In their first game, the Lions ambushed

Kamloops White 10-2.

Coach Erick Burnet, in his swan song with the development squad, quipped, “That was fun to watch.”

Reed Cashato pulled the hat trick, while Mees Geelkerken scored twice and set up five others. Malcolm Wiens also scored twice, while Owen Burnet blasted a rocket for goal of the game. Midfielder Josh Hyer drew three assists.

The Lions then brushed off the Kamloops Orange 2-0 in a game where scoring chances were limited by hard-fought midfield play, especially by Vernon’s Jared Quibell.

With about four minutes remaining in the first half, Geelkerken broke the deadlock after being sent in by Kenzel Aarts-Roman.

The second half mirrored the first and with time running out, Wiens corralled an Elias NATALIA VIGNOLA / MORNING STAR Jensen goal kick that eluded the Vernon’s Kali Wells (right) attempts to keep the ball away from Kelowna’s Katie Stein during U16 Rep girls soccer defender, and put it short side action Sunday at Marshall Field. off one post and then the other before the ball finally landed in Purvis clicked on a beautiful shot from Birthday boy Perez Vermeulen and Dylan the back of the net.

The Vernon Diamondbacks are finally in the win column.

All it took was clutch hitting, and one of the gutsiest efforts on the mound in team history on Sunday morning at Marshall Field.

Oggie Ortman started on the hill for the D-backs, and would not leave, throwing a 168-pitch, nine-inning complete game to give Vernon a 9-6 win over Connor and Kellen Jones and the Trail Orioles.

After giving up a run in the first, the D-backs responded after two walks to start the bottom half. Josh Wade singled to load the bases before the Trail starter settled down and retired the next two.

With runners moving on a 3-2 count, Ryan Boe provided a clutch bases-clearing double to give the D-backs a 3-1 lead. Over the next four innings, Trail chipped away, going up 4-3 through their half of the sixth.

Vernon cranked the offence up once more, loading the bases, and taking a risk with a suicide squeeze, which was executed perfectly by Reiner Nikolai. Boe scored behind Ortman (who was on third) on a heads up base-running play.

TJ Novakowski, who made his season debut, scored on a Mike Patitucci single.

Emotions ran high in the inning after some bang-bang plays on the basepaths, with both benches yapping back and forth.

In the top of the eighth, Trail scored two more to tie things up before Vernon took advantage of more walks. Patitucci did a

NOYFSS nurtures families CARA BRADY

Morning Star Staff

NOYFSS (North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society) started in 1974 with the mandate to provide parent, child and youth programs on issues like anger, conflict, divorce, parenting, special needs and self-esteem.

While the programs reflect the changing needs of families, the goal remains to work towards creating healthy families through individual, family and group programs.

Two recently added programs help girls and parents.

“So many girls struggle with self-esteem and they need a safe place to go to recognize how special they are, develop confidence and relationship skills and how to give back to the community,” said Becky Marshall, child and family counselor and group facilitator.

A recent donation of $5,000 from CIBC allows the centre to offer the SelfEsteem for Girls program for girls ages six to 16. The six to nine-year-old group is on now with groups for ages 10-12 and 13-16 scheduled for August. Registration is being taken now.

The classes include information on eating and nutrition, exercise, how to express emotions properly and community volunteer work at a local seniors residence.

There are art projects, cooking, yoga and role playing segments.

“When the girls come in, a lot of them are really nervous and afraid to speak but by the end you can see the change and they speak in front of the group and make

The Nurturing Parent Program, starting in August/September, is for parents of children ages five to 11.

“It’s a fantastic program,” said Marshall.

“It is all about parents, attachment, discipline, creating a safe, healthy environment and using consequences and rewards. It’s a time of self-growth for parents and learning about why they parent the way they do

and different ways they can do things.”

Marshall said that it is ideal if both parents can attend the program together so that they can discuss what they are learning about their own and each others’ parenting styles.

The programs are free but require preregistration.

For more information about these and other NOYFSS programs and services, and registration, call 250-545-3572 or see www.noyfss.org.

Horticultural therapy complements medical system RIA VAN ZEELAND Special to The Morning Star

Horticultural Therapy (HT) is a formal practice using plants, horticulture activities, and garden landscapes to promote human well-being.

Research has shown that nature plays an important role in the environment of caring and healing. HT fosters health and wellness in a variety of ways to improve physical fitness, stimulate the senses, reduce anxiety, enhance self-esteem, and encourage independence.

Dr. Roger S. Ulrich, a behavioral scientist and professor of architecture and landscape architecture, discovered in 1984 that hospitalized patients looking through a window with a view of trees as opposed to a brick wall had a shorter recovery time from abdominal surgery, less need for pain medication, and a more positive outlook on recovery.

HT has been used over the past 60 years in Canada. Veterans of the Second World War were in need of physical and mental rehabilitation.

Horticultural activities integrated with occupational therapy were used in rehabilitation programs for these veterans. Since then, HT has been taught and practised throughout the world using gardening to change lives.

HT promotes healing for individuals who are faced with physical, mental, and spiritual barriers or challenges at some point in their lives. The connection

with nature will develop opportunities for social interaction, communication, basic life skills, and general improvement to quality of life.

Working together with people, plants and soil in a healthy, loving, and compassionate environment can heal body, mind, and soul.

Horticultural therapists are trained and educated professionals who use horticulture to promote and improve health and wellness for an individual or a group of people.

HT is beneficial for people of all ages, regardless of their phys-

ical and/or mental challenges. HT is intended for anyone who is in need of guidance and support such as the frail elderly, people with mental and/or physical challenges, and youth who are faced with life challenges. Everyone has something to give and to contribute to our community.

Activities are organized in a way to support the individual with basic life skills, organizational skills, social involvement, coping skills, and encouragement of their unique abilities. HT offers a holistic approach to

the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the individual.

Shelagh Smith, who teaches the HT certificate program at VanDusen Gardens in Vancouver, is willing to teach in the Interior.

The program provides training for anyone who would like to add HT to their existing professional skills and anyone who is interested in working with people and plants.

Summer visitors means weekend brunches

h June, a time of hot days and summer fun, right? With all the hockey, rain, high water and wind, it often feels like a cold day in April, but no, it’s June and Father’s Day is this weekend.

The influx of visitors to the Okanagan for many of us is at hand and with that in mind, I wanted to offer a couple of recipes for those inevitable summer brunches.

Crepes can be an elegant savoury or sweet brunch treat.

Today I’ve included an elegant spinach, bacon, and mushroom crepe recipe as well as an easy fresh strawberry dessert crepe. Enjoy.

Crepes with Spinach, Bacon and Mushroom Filling Crepes: 2 tbsp. unsalted but-

1 tbsp. chopped fresh 3/4 cup parsley plus 1 tbsp.

2 tbsp. buckwheat grated flour Parmesan 1/3 cup allcheese purpose flour Salt and (or gluten-free pepper to flour) 1/2 tsp. salt Cathi Litzenberger taste 2/3 cup 1-1/2 cups chicken broth milk 2 eggs 3 large eggs 1/2 cup lemon juice Filling: Salt and pepper to 6 slices bacon, taste cooked and crumbled For crepes: In a 1 tbsp. saved bacon small saucepan, cook drippings 1 tbsp. unsalted but- butter over moderatelylow heat until golden ter brown with a nutlike 1/2 lb. fresh mushfragrance.

KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM

Limit children’s screen time LYNN RESIDE

Special to The Morning Star

The Canadian Pediatric Society recommends no screen time for children under two, no more than one hour for those two to six and no more than two hours for children six and older.

Child care providers are trained to be able to provide developmentallyappropriate activities for children throughout the day. Most child care centres are very busy places for even the youngest children with meals, outside play, group times, arts and crafts, music and naps. If you are concerned about screen time at your child’s centre, there are a number of things you can do about it. The first and best approach is right at the beginning when you register your child in the program. Ask for their policy on screen time and let them know that you do not want your child watching screens at the centre or what your preferred limits are. If your child is already attending a centre, make a point of occasionally dropping in at different times than you normally do. A high quality child care centre will have an open door policy, as they appreciate the importance of the partnership between the centre staff and the parents.

Many child care providers in our community have taken training about screen time and some of them will have a certificate posted in their centre that says they are a Screen Smart centre.

If your child is old enough, ask them about their day. Since most children will answer “Nothing” if you ask them what they did at child care, try asking more direct questions such as, Did you paint? What colours did you use? Did you play outside? Who did you play with? Did you watch TV? In a family or License-Not-Required child care centre, there is often only one staff for two to

seven children and it is understandable that it can be difficult for that child care provider to attend to all that needs to be done during the day — you may find that she occasionally wants to use the TV to keep children occupied. Talk to your child care provider when both of you are relaxed (the end of the day is not usually the best time for either of you)! It can be helpful to make arrangements to phone in the evening or possibly during nap time. If you do not want your child to watch any TV, you have every right to ask for that. If you are willing to compromise, let your care provider know exactly how much TV and what programs are acceptable to you. In general, a good quality child care centre should not be using TV except on very rare occasions.

Kids do much better with physical activity. They can build forts in the living room with chairs and sheets, have an indoor scavenger hunt, play sardine hide-and-seek (once the first child is found, the next child squeezes in with them and so on until they are all squeezed into one spot), make boats out of milk cartons and have boat races in the bathtub. Go to the plant store and pick out some seeds, work together to prepare the soil, plant seedlings and decorate the garden with painted rocks or homemade garden markers. Whether your child is in child care, or you are caring for your children at home, ask your caregiver or promise yourself that you will always have 15 minutes outside — every single day. Of course, it will probably stretch into a much longer time! Summer is the very best time to be Screen-Free!

Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Spray with a light nonstick coating and place a ladleful of batter into the centre of pan, tilting to coat the bottom. Cook until golden brown, turning once, 2-5 minutes. Continue with remaining batter.

Separate crepes with wax paper to prevent sticking together.

Filling: Place bacon drippings and 1 tbsp. butter in a large skillet and sauté mushrooms.

In a separate saucepan, melt 3 tbsp. butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour,

stirring constantly, until a smooth paste is formed. Gradually stir in 1 cup milk, stirring constantly, until a smooth thick gravy is formed.

Add bacon, mushrooms, spinach, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Let cook until somewhat thick, about 10 minutes. In saucepan bring broth to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and lemon juice. Temper eggs and broth together, whisking constantly so as to cook, but not to scramble the eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Fill each crepe with spinach and meat mixture, roll up, top with

Easy Strawberry Crepes Crepes: 1 egg, beaten 1/4 cup skim milk 1/3 cup water 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 2/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. white sugar 1 pinch salt Filling: 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries 3/4 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed In a large bowl, beat together egg, milk, water, and oil. Beat in flour, sugar and salt until smooth. Heat a medium, nonstick skillet over medium-high

heat. Place 1/2 cup of batter in centre of pan and tilt pan to coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter. Cook until golden brown, turning once, 2-5 minutes. Continue with remaining batter.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat.

To assemble, spread some melted chocolate on the lighter side of one crepe. Place a line of overlapping strawberries down the centre of the crepe and roll it up.

Top with whipped topping and drizzle with a bit more chocolate. Repeat with remaining crepes.

■■■ One of the most frequently asked questions at the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) is “Can you recommend something good to read?” Now it will be easier for children and teens to discover good books through a new service offered on the website. Young people, or their parents, can fill out an online questionnaire about their likes, dislikes and reading preferences, and ORL children’s librarians will create a list of five recommended books to suit each child’s individual taste.

“We love matching people with books, and are very excited to offer this service online,” says Monica Gaucher, children’s librarian at the Vernon branch. “We hope this will encourage reading and literacy, and help young people discover new authors and books they might not have otherwise considered.”

The service is available at www. orl.bc.ca/branches.

News

Driving into the HST debate

I

recently bought a used vehicle. Bitter experience with used cars sold privately led me to make the purchase at an established, reputable dealership, and I’m pleased with the result.

The first car I ever bought was a private sale. A young man showed off the old car he had painted himself, while his mother smiled and offered homemade lemonade.

Sold for $600.

The choice of drink proved appropriate when the engine clattered to a final halt a week later. It was then I discovered that the crankcase contained mostly STP Oil Treatment, to conceal the engine’s true state.

At the dealership this spring, the harmonized sales tax was not a hot topic. Like most goods, new and used vehicles were subject to 12 per cent PST and GST before, and they are subject to 12 per cent HST now.

When I mentioned this in a news report last week, an astute reader in Nanaimo reminded me that it’s not quite that simple.

Vehicles, boats and aircraft sold by private individuals are exempt from GST. This was one of the populist concessions the Mulroney government made in an effort to placate angry voters 20 years ago. In B.C., prior to July 2010, private sales were subject to seven-per-cent PST only.

During the hubbub over the implementation of the HST in its 2010 budget, the B.C. Liberal government also increased tax on private vehicle sales by five per cent, from seven to 12 per cent.

The stated reason was to provide “comparable treatment” for private and commercial sales of used vehicles.

This provoked an exchange of partisan accusations that typically passes for debate in the B.C. legislature.

It’s a payoff to car dealers, the NDP screamed.

You guys opposed all of our income tax

cuts and now you’re pretending to support lower taxes, the B.C. Liberals yelled back.

Out in the real world, one can observe the effect of a tax structure that gives an advantage to private sellers.

Municipal governments call them

“curbers.” They use their garage, driveway and street to repair and market an endless series of used cars.

Whether they are crooks or not, their efforts are bit as Tom Fletcher every appealing to the neighbourhood as

the guy with multiple illegal suites whose tenants plug up the parking for the whole block.

In each case, they violate zoning rules and hog services for personal benefit. And if you think they pay income or other taxes on their home businesses, I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to test-drive.

The subject of used cars came up last week

B.C. VIEWS

when NDP leader Adrian Dix belatedly launched his own antiHST tour. Apparently he’s having second thoughts about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP tax policy based on a world government conspiracy theory.

Dix’s first media event was staged in a Burnaby kitchen. The homeowner dismissed the $350 HST rebate he

has been offered to offset costs such as summer camp for his two kids, saying that will be gone several times over if he buys a used car.

This clearly implies that HST has been extended to used cars.

This is the sort of claim that drives much of the rage against it, as people simply scan their bills for those hated three letters.

There are signs that people understand their taxes better, however.

An Angus Reid poll last week found that 58 per cent of British Columbians now prefer to pay taxes on their consumption rather than their income.

Realtorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national garage sale raises record funds Morning Star Staff

Selling old dishes, unwanted furniture and outgrown toys has helped save a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and given a young person the chance for a brighter future.

Across the country, including right here in Vernon, Royal LePage offices raised a record amount during the third annual National Garage Sale for Shelter.

Of the record $400,000 raised nationally in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, locally $3,600 was raised to support the Vernon Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transition House Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the funds raised at the National Garage Sale for Shelter, women and children who have experienced family violence have a safe place to stay, a refuge from the worry and fear,â&#x20AC;? said Shanan Spencer-Brown, executive director of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year, this event raises awareness of the issue of family violence and shows that we can all make a difference.â&#x20AC;?

Every dollar raised at the National Garage Sale for Shelter supports local womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelters,

as well as prevention and education programs to help stop the cycle of family violence.

One hundred per cent

of funds raised in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation goes directly to the cause because Royal LePage

Q: A:

What are some simple ways I can reduce my exposure to environmental toxins?

• Clear out toxic household cleaners Avoid harmful ingredients like ammonia and chlorine by switching to more ‘friendly’ storebought cleaners, or try making your own with vinegar, baking soda or lemon juice.

• Stop using toxic body products Many of our common body and beauty products are full of toxins like formaldehyde, phthalates, parabens and heavy metals.

• Eat organic Avoid consuming insecticides, herbicides, and hormones by eating fruits, vegetables, and meats that are grown organically.

• Eliminate processed foods These contain many food additives and preservatives which are not healthy.

• Avoid plastic Eliminate your exposure to bisphenol-A by using glass and metal containers for food and drinks.

Q: A:

Does MY child need after school tutoring?

Many children could use some extra help to boost their success in school. However, if your child uses some of these words to describe school: *Boring *Stressful *Frustrating *Too tough, or if you use some of the next set of words to describe your child: *Lazy *Unmotivated *Unfocused *Uncaring *Gives up easily – THEN it is a good time to get some extra help. These words are descriptive of a learning disability or challenge. Students with a learning disability in reading, math, spelling, and/or comprehension will struggle until they get some help to overcome it. With the right program, learning challenges CAN be overcome or at least greatly reduced in their effect on the student.

School should be enjoyable and interesting, not stressful and frustrating.

Unlike Santa, I cannot visit every home in one night: so what’s a homeowner to do without me? Lots! Here are three suggestions that encourage good qi (energy): • Make your home’s entryway clean, clear and inviting: if you don’t want to enter, why would our auspicious qi give it a go?

• Incorporate curving pathways to encourage a ‘meandering’ feel.

• Remove any dead trees from the property, and plant some flowers.

Enhancing good qi is the basis of what I do.

I work with what you’ve got on hand and encourage it to be the best it can be. Want to make positive changes? Then get out outside and clear the way!

Q: A:

Award!

I have heard that drywall imported from China is contaminated and making people sick, what do you know about it?

What is known so far about contaminated drywall from China is this. The drywall was imported from China between 2001 and 2007.

Research shows that some may have landed in the prairies and some in the Toronto area and possibly the lower mainland of B.C. The drywall was made using gypsum that was first used in slurry containing carcinogens to de-sulphur coal. The chemicals remaining in the drywall are toxic enough that as few as three sheets can contaminate a home to the point it may need to be bulldozed. This drywall is found to emit toxic hydrogen sulfide gas as well as other sulfide gases. These gases are alleged to cause health conditions and illnesses, such as headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath, eye irritations, insomnia and respiratory issues. The indications in homes are blackened, scorched wiring behind switch plates and wall plugs, it causes air conditioning coils to fail, computer wiring to become faulty as well as damage to the wiring of other appliances. Some have noted the smell of sulphur in the home. So far none has turned up in the Okanagan that I am aware of. However do your homework; if you are doing renovations or building new, find out where your drywall was made before you purchase or install it. Remember, when in doubt ask an expert.

Q: A:

What is the most that you have increased someone’s cash flow by mortgage refinancing?

I was able to save a client $1800 per month in payments during a refinance by utilizing some of the numerous options available during that process. This included consolidating a 1st & 2nd mortgage; and by accessing their home equity, paying a penalty, paying out high interest credit card debt and taking out some funds for minor property improvements. Not only did the client’s monthly cash flow increase significantly, they ended up with a lower interest rate on all their debts and better terms in their mortgage.

Imagine having more money in your pocket every month and the weight of hefty payments lifted so you can climb back out of debt! Call me today to discuss what we can do in your unique circumstance!!
