A tower of opportunities unfold RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Health care workers have put their personal stamp on Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s expansion. Whether it is local scenes depicted on walls, the placement of equipment or a desk specifically for children, doctors, nurses and other staff played a role in shaping the Polson tower. “I can name teams who contributed to the design,” said Yolanda Short, manager of operational planning. “It’s very much the community’s building and the staff ’s building.” A ceremony was held Friday to mark the 100-day countdown until the $180 million tower opens to patients Sept. 25. Until then, there will be waves of training based on safety, equipment and individual departments. One aspect of the building that may take some time to get used to is the elbow room — wide corridors, spacious operating theatres, walls separating beds instead of curtains. “In the current space (existing hospital), you can see, hear and smell for assessment,” said Short. “You come over here and you have to change the way we do business.” To overcome the challenges that come with 231,000-square-feet, technology has been introduced to improve communication between staff. “You can do things in one room and speak to someone in another room,” said Short of the four operating theatres. Cameras above the operating table can project images on to plasma screens right in the room or in another part of the building. Technology is also being used to create efficiencies.

Yolanda Short, operational planning manager, shows off the advancements in the new emergency department. Among the advances are equipment booms in the trauma rooms in the emergency department. “There is power and nurse call systems off of it and you can have computers on it,” said Short. But more basic approaches have also been implemented. For patients in the intensive care unit, giant windows provide glimpses of Polson Park and the rest of Vernon. “You can see life in our community,” said Short. A scene of Kekuli Bay can be found outside of one window in the women’s and children’s department. It hides an ugly air handling unit. “It makes it more appealing to the patient staying in that room,” said Short. Short’s pride and joy is the women’s and children’s department. “I was born in Vernon. I have huge ties to this unit,” said the department’s former nursing manager.
Labour, delivery and postpartum will now occur in each of the seven rooms reserved for new moms, “We won’t be moving families around,” said Short, pointing out the bed, couches and a washroom with both a shower and bath tub. The department also includes a special care nursery, pediatrics and a room with a couch for families who stay overnight to be close to their children. Elevators connect the five floors in the tower, as does a glass stairway with views of Vernon. “The staff say it’s an excellent place to come and exercise,” said Short. Timelines are tight leading up to Sept. 25, but Short is confident that the training will be done and the staff will be ready to welcome the first patients. “There’s no option. Everyone will be ready for that date,” she said.

News Blaze roars through Enderby mill ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Officials were back on site Friday afternoon trying to pinpoint the cause of a massive fire that destroyed the planer mill at North Enderby Timber. Firefighters were alerted to the blaze at around 4:45 a.m. Friday. “We had 23 members show up so it was a good crew and we knocked her down fast,� said fire chief Kevin Alstad. “We got it contained quite fast so it didn’t spread too bad once we got there.� Alstad was back on site in the afternoon to have another look through the rubble. “I have an idea where it started but until I dig into it further I really don’t have an answer for you,� he said about a suspected cause. The fire started in between shifts at the mill. NET staff say the last planerman from night shift left around 4 a.m., and it was a logging truck driver who first noticed smoke coming out of the mill around 4:30 a.m., before day shift started. Close to 30 employees work on the planer, but everybody will be at work on Monday. “The fire definitely impacts us, but we’ll be up and running Monday on another line,� said NET spokesperson Brad Shaigec. “All of our customers and orders are fine, we’ll have no problem getting them out. “Everybody will be back at work. They might be night shift instead of day shift because we only have one line to run on now, but everybody will be back.� Shaigec praised the work of the volunteer firefighters. “They got here very quick and did a great job, an awesome job,� he said. “They contained the fire to where it needed to be contained.� Nobody was hurt in the fire, the second to hit the mill in nearly three years. Part of the cedar mill, where a number of large logs are turned into lumber, was destroyed by fire in October 2008. NET is fully insured.

Teenager identified as drowning victim ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Officials have confirmed the body pulled from the Shuswap River last weekend is that of a missing Enderby teenager. The coroner’s office, working with a forensic odontologist, has made a positive identification of Daniel Linz, 17.
Linz had been at Riverside Park in Enderby with friends during the evening of May 27, three days after his birthday. Linz was reported missing the next morning when he failed to come home. His family returned to the park the next day and found his hoodie, toque and backpack near a picnic table close to the
Shuswap River. Vernon Search and Rescue personnel discovered the body just below the surface of the river, tangled in some branches, about three kilometres downstream from the park. The coroner has ruled the case as a drowning.

Customers who receive their water from the Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant are being advised of an operation adjustment that will begin on Monday, June 20th. A planned “Water Quality Advisory” is being issued to customers as the treatment plant will be off line to complete the works. The following customers should use water that has been boiled for one minute: • Young children • Elderly • People with weakened immune systems The “Water Quality Advisory” is expected to end Wednesday, June 29th, but may continue longer. The utility will be actively monitoring the water quality and the public will be notified when conditions return to normal.

HIGH DEMAND FOR IRRIGATION SCHEDULING WORKSHOP A workshop hosted on June 8th by the Regional District of North Okanagan-Greater Vernon Water Utility (RDNO-GVWU) showcased the latest online technology to help make irrigation planning easier. This included a tool available to agricultural water users at www. okim.ca to track their water consumption. The site assesses local climate, crop type, and soils to estimate the amount of water needed annually to maximize crop productivity. Another free tool available via the OKIM website is the Agricultural Irrigation Scheduling Calculator, which calculates daily irrigation needs based on crop type, irrigation system, soils, and the five-day weather forecast for your region. Based on the overwhelming response to the first workshop, a second is being planned. To learn more about this program or to be included on the waiting list for future workshops please call 250-550-3700 or email jennifer.miles@rdno.ca.

RDNO issues alert for Mabel Lake Morning Star Staff
Residents living in the Kingfisher area should be cautious when turning on the tap. The Regional District of North Okanagan has issued a water quality advisory for customers supplied by the Mabel Lake Water Utility. “Turbidity in their water source has exceeded one nephelometric turbidity unit due to high water levels in Mabel Lake from spring runoff,” said Zee Marcolin, utilities engineer. “Turbidity is the measure of cloudiness in water and is not generally noticeable to the human eye until it exceeds five NTU.” At one NTU, Interior Health Authority guidelines rate water quality as fair and requires utilities to issue a water quality advisory. “This water quality advisory will be in effect
until further notice,” said Marcolin. As part of the advisory, young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems should boil heir water for one minute for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages and brushing teeth.

Back, Neck, and Hip Pain: Catch it Early! Spinal pain is often noticed weeks, months, and sometimes years after the underlying problem actually began. Pain is like a ringing fire alarm that is triggered once the nerves are adequately irritated, which sometimes takes years. The key lies in identifying what the underlying problem is—what’s causing the pain. There are dozens of tiny spinal joints in your back and neck. They can become misaligned, or subluxated, by all kinds of stressors: poor posture, falls from playground equipment or down stairs, sport tackles, long hours of sitting, car accidents, and even the birthing process (often called “birth trauma,” and for good reason!). Spinal inflammation often begins painlessly and is your body’s attempt to heal the irritation. As the inflammation mounts, and more and more damage is done by the grinding pressure of the misalignment, chemicals are released by the surrounding tissue to irritate the nerves for one important reason—to cause the damaged area to hurt so that you become aware of the problem! A common treatment for spinal pain is usually painkillers or anti-inflammatories, chemicals that serve as nerve blocks so your brain can no longer register the damage happening within your body. Sadly, many pain sufferers accept this quickfix answer while in the meantime, the underlying spinal damage worsens. Long-term spinal inflammation can lead to osteoarthritis, which further damages the spinal joints. Chiropractors are trained in spine, nerve, and joint health. We help by retraining the spine to a more optimal position, freeing nerves and joints of damaging stress so your body can heal properly. If these problems are caught early, years of chronic pain may be avoided. Chiropractor’s often see disillusioned patients who are tired of taking drugs, their tests all clear, and are living in pain not knowing where to turn. Maybe something is causing the problem that can be overcome. Written by Dr. Elliot Lysyk

Holidays, hockey and more

or those of you who may have missed me in this spot the last two weeks, thanks. For those who would rather see The Village Idiot in this spot on a permanent basis anyways, thanks for nothing (although don’t worry as he’ll be back, I have more holidays planned, not to mention those weeks when I have nothing to offer). And for those who are still with me, here’s what I learned on my one-week holiday. Maybe next year: It sucks to lose. I’m still coming to grips with the Vancouver Canucks coming up one game short of a Stanley Cup but, ironically, the stunningly stupid riots and their aftermath helped put it in some kind of perspective. After all the Glenn Mitchell anxiety and analysis and apprehension (and a couple other ‘a’ words), life does go on afterwords. For 40 years there’s always been a next year for Canuck fans, and, unfortunately it’s true again this year. That doesn’t help much right now, I know, but it’s also the beauty of sports. Just ask any Leafs fan. The job list: Just a tip for you guys. If you make up an impressive job list on the first day of your holidays and nothing’s crossed off by Day 4 or Day 5, apparently it’s not that impressive anymore. Thanks to some domestic pressure (somewhere around Day 4 or Day 5), however, I managed to get a few things crossed off the list and justify my existence, as well as justify the time it took to compile the list in the first place. Now what?: That’s the thing about a long playoff run that suddenly ends (especially the wrong way as I still might be celebrating if...... heavy sigh) – what did I do with my life before I started watching hockey every other night? I’m considering therapy for hockey withdrawal but my understanding wife is already helping the situation by pointing out all the yard work that has been neglected over the last eight
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
weeks or so. Right. Thanks honey but maybe I really do need therapy? Social media: I think it’s pretty cool that Facebook and YouTube will definitely help identify and hopefully convict the yahoos who did so much damage in the streets of Vancouver Wednesday night and how ironic is that? A lot of these wannabe rock stars and brain surgeons were likely looking for their 15 seconds of fame to go viral and with any luck that might actually help bring them to justice. I will try to comment further in a manner that they might be able to understand: nannannnannnannnnannnnaaa. Summer solstice: The calendar says it’s supposed to be the official beginning of summer this week but someone forgot to tell Mother Nature. Actually I’m not even sure we’ve had spring yet. To be honest, the playoff run has been such a distraction I’m not sure what it’s been doing outside. Well I do know, but it hasn’t been that big a deal. But now it is so let’s get going here or we’re not going to have a summer at all. We’ve definitely licked the water shortage in the bud but enough already. Everybody now, maybe singing will help, I can see clearly now the rain is gone..... Oldie but Goodie: Thoroughly enjoyed the Supertramp concert we went to at Kelowna’s Prospera Place during my holidays. Great sound, great band, great venue. Would have been perfect if former co-founder Roger Hodgson was there but they pulled it off admirably. First rock concert in my 50s where I didn’t feel old, well except for the two young guys next to me constantly checking their cell phones for obviously vital messages. Don’t remember that distraction the last time I saw the band at Empire Stadium in the early ‘80s. Father’s Day: I’m chucking the half-finished job list and just enjoying the day today. Someone might say that’s a normal Sunday for me but today I do it guilt-free. Happy Father’s Day to all of those lucky enough to get to call themselves and others dad. It’s still one of my favourite words in the English language.
The Vancouver Canucks lost their third chance to hoist the Stanley Cup on Wednesday night. The City of Vancouver, and the Metro Vancouver region, lost a reputation. The last time the Canucks lost in the Stanley Cup final, back in 1994, there was a riot in downtown Vancouver. One person suffered serious injuries, store windows were broken and thousands were caught up in mischief and mayhem. The 1994 riot was one reason that the security budget for the 2010 Winter Olympics was so large — organizers and all three levels of government did not want a repeat. The day after the Olympics began last February, a group of anarchists known as “the Black bloc” broke store windows and frightened visitors. Reprisals were swift and security was noticeably stepped up. From that point on, the Olympics became a wonderful, peaceful event, with thousands of people on the streets day and night, and almost no incidents. When the Canadian men’s hockey team won the gold medal in the final event of the Games, there was celebration and no trouble. Perhaps that fooled Vancouver Police. On all the previous evenings, with Canucks’ games televised for huge crowds on the streets, things were peaceful. There were minimal problems However, the game wasn’t even over before trouble began. All the carefully-built improvement to the reputation of the city and region was destroyed, and millions of dollars in damage was incurred. Some lawbreakers will be punished, but the reputation of Metro Vancouver will remain tarnished for a long time to come. ---Langley Times

Street projects defended
I
am writing this letter in response to two letters I have seen printed in The Morning Star in the last couple of weeks. Those letters complained about the rebuilding of 20th St. north of 43rd Ave. and other similar improvements ongoing in other parts of town. The writers were opposed to the changes being made and wanted a return to the old way of urban development in Vernon with huge, wide expanses of pavement and nothing interfering with automobile use. I couldn’t disagree more. That old style is unsightly and unattractive, dangerous to any living thing that isn’t encapsulated in a vehicle, and expensive to build and clean and maintain. That old model of street building is what has made areas of Vernon unattractive compared to other communities throughout the world that have realized that to attract and retain valuable citizens you must make your community livable for people, not just for vehicles. That is a real shame when you consider what a blessed geographic and climatic locale we have. We should optimize that good fortune, not diminish it as past planning has frequently done. Visitors to our town usually rhapsodize at
GET INFORMED People of B.C. think long and hard on the upcoming HST referendum. If we vote to keep it we will be getting a small savings and we are used to it now. I am partially in favour of this tax as it combines all of them for ease of checking and I do think that it is helping out small business but if it helps the small businessmen what are the big corporations saving? But please do not be put off by all the ads as if we vote this out think of all the monies we will have to pay back to the federal government that was given to us. They will want their money back and I do not think we will get a long repayment time. Think of starting another system back up after we have shut it down and most likely dismantled the organization. Then there are all the new plans that the government has just rolled out to benefit us. These will have to be cut to pay back the monies that we will now owe. It the HST is accepted then the government should also make plans in the future to reduce the rate even further to help take the burden off the majority of the public.
what a beautiful setting we have, but they also commonly comment on how poorly Vernon has taken advantage of that in our urban design and planning. The automobile is such a practical part of our current lifestyle that its use must be incorporated into any current urban design. Undoubtedly, vehicles will get smaller and lighter as we adapt to a world of diminishing, more expensive fossil
So please when you make your decision take the time to get all the information before you vote. But vote for what you think is best for you and your family Garry Haas WAITING FOR GENIUS Even though I struggled through all the forms and redundant calculations in my 2010 income tax package weeks ago, I am still shaking my head. Albert Einstein said any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex but it takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction. The recent election campaign demonstrated once again how selfserving politicians, in their desperate desire to get elected, will promise inattentive voters a wide variety of elaborate programs. Over the years government bureaucrats, not known for genius, have been forced to invent more and more convoluted regulations and formulas to implement and finance these election promises. Einstein’s insight can be applied to the inefficiencies of government in the following way: In the absence of courageous genius, when self-
serving politicians interact with inattentive voters the predictable result is an increase in the amount of bureaucratic mismanagement and in the number of complex regulations. If a political leader with a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – sincerely promises to simplify the Income Tax Act, he or she will get my vote. Lloyd Atkins POSITIVE IMPACT Recently 100 girls from Lumby to Salmon Arm congregated at the Pleasant Valley Secondary School in Armstrong for the Empowering Girls Conference. A joint project between the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Armstrong and School District 83, it was a full day of workshops, discussion and entertainment. While, at the time, I was proud of the team who put it all together, now several weeks later I am stunned by the positive ripples I have seen in our community. The event brought together girls from all walks of life to talk about money management, mental health, healthy sexuality and more – the presenters all volunteered their time and expertise and since
fuels, with a more rational pricing of carbon, and reduction of the subsidization of the damage carbon does. However, automobiles are not the only important component of our present community life, and design that is attractive to the other aspects of a good life, like walking, cycling, mass transit, parks and outdoor life, should be incorporated. Thank goodness City of Vernon staff, and council, have seen fit to develop 20th St. and 29th St. in such an attractive manner that shows what can be done, and has been done elsewhere. There is no question that the construction is a real hardship for the businesses directly involved. One can only hope that the professionals overseeing the work do it in such a manner that the hardship is minimized so those businesses that suffer can reap the rewards of attractive design in the future. If they benefit, we all benefit. We need a strong economy to pay for the things we want in our community, and if we design and build our city in a way that is attractive to the bright, innovative, mobile, people who are the backbone of a future economy, we will have been wise and successful. B. Clore
the event have all approached us asking about our plans for the next conference. I have seen, not only the student members of the planning committee proudly wearing their T-shirts around town, but also the attendees who won a T-shirt wearing theirs in Vernon and Salmon Arm. The original plan was to provide an opportunity for girls in the North Okanagan to learn more about themselves and their options in life. One parent of a girl who attended told me, without the slightest exaggeration, that the conference saved her daughter’s life and gave me examples to prove that it was no exaggeration. There was so much positive energy surrounding the day, so much hope and optimism that no one wanted the day to end. This is a testament to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make a difference in the lives of North Okanagan youth. Thank you to the student planning committee, to School District 83 for supporting the event, to the presenters and everyone who made donations to the event. Most of all, thank you to every girl from Lumby to Salmon Arm

he said. In 2010, 66 city employees earned more than $75,000, with Gous being the highest at $172,456 (gross earnings, allowances and expenses). In terms of council, Lippert topped the list at $74,035 in remuneration and expenses. The top councillor was Buffy Baumbrough with $26,426 in wages and expenses, while the lowest were Bob Spiers and Patrick Nicol at $20,474 each. They had no expenses.

Expenses at Vernon’s fire hall have one taxpayer fuming. Chub Down was the only resident to speak during Monday’s input session on the city’s 2010 annual report, and his main focus was that 26 firefighters earned more than $75,000 a year. “How did they get out of line?” he said of wages. “What is the reason to give anyone earning more than $75,000 a cost-of-living adjustment.” Down also questioned why Vernon firefighters have wage parity with their Vancouver counterparts, but that policy was defended by the city. “Every community except Prince Rupert has lost rulings on wage parity with Vancouver,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. The city unsuccessfully went through arbitration six times in the 1990s over wage parity. “Do you spend money to challenge it on principle or do you work on other parts of the contract in an attempt to save money?” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. Down also questioned why firefighters are providing a medical first responders program. “You see the ambulance go out and five minutes later, the little red (fire) pickup goes out,” he said. “Does anyone look at the operation and say we have too many people?” But Lippert insists the first responders program has been

Resort fire crew hosting open house Morning Star Staff
With fire season around the corner, those living in the area from BX Foothills up to, and including, Silver Star Mountain Resort should know the area has been deemed one of the vulnerable areas in the province for an interface fire. To help educate home and property owners in the BX-Silver Star corridor, Silver Star Fire Rescue is hosting an open house at the Silver Star fire hall Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. All agencies that would be involved with a fire incident in that area will be on hand with equipment and personnel to answer questions and give direction. In attendance will be: Silver Star Fire Rescue Silver Star Ski Resort Wildfire Response Team, BX-Swan Lake Fire Rescue, an initial attack crew from Ministry of Forests, Vernon Search and Rescue, RCMP, Forestry fire interface consultants, BC Hydro; Emergency Social Services and Silver Star Fire Rescue Auxiliary. “It is very important for everyone living in the BX-Silver Star corridor to come to the information meeting”, said Bill Wacey, fire chief at BX-Swan Lake Fire Rescue. “The recent fire that devastated the community of Slave Lake, Alta. and the fires in the past few years in Kelowna and Salmon Arm should act as a wake-up call to us all.” BX Fire Rescue is in the process of spending $36,000 on Sprinkler Protection Units (SPUs). These units can be deployed on and around rural homes and offer

In the foreground is a simple roof-top Sprinkler Protection Unit. a first defense against interface fires. One SPU unit that would cover two properties runs about $2,500. “As well as the units we are building and buying, we have purchased a trailer to carry them all,” said Wacey. Counterpart Russ Mills, fire chief at Silver Star Fire Rescue, has been working closely with Wacey as Silver Star Fire Rescue will be purchasing SPU equipment for the Silver Star Resort community that will be compatible with the BXFR equipment. In all Silver Star expects to spend $10,000 this year with plans for more spending next year. “Spending money on protective equipment is all well and good,” said Mills, “but we really need all of the people living in the BX-Silver Star corridor to play their part in
fire proofing their properties and the area as a whole. It is important that bans on open fires are respected, and that smokers dispose of their cigarette butts indoors and inside their vehicles.” Silver Star Mountain Resort is planning to open for summer operations June 24. “We have some unique challenges here,” said Brad Baker, the Star’s operations manager. “We will have guests out and about biking, hiking and trail riding enjoying several hundred acres of natural environment. Our operations staff is on the mountain most days from sun up to sundown, and is very diligent. We have firefighting equipment consisting of a mini pumper, water tender, a porta-tank and forestry pumps and hoses, as well as a dozer and excavator.”
The resort and the resort community depend on the public to be fire smart, and to report fire as quickly as possible. The Silver Star Fire
Rescue Auxiliary will be hosting the open house and will be providing light refreshments. The auxiliary is made up of Silver Star community residents. #102 - 3105 28th Ave. Vernon, BC V1T 8Y4

SIR board draws return invite An organization is looking to face off against the Regional District of North Okanagan again. The Sterile Insect Release program will be given another opportunity to appear before the RDNO board after its presentation Wednesday was cut short so directors could watch the Stanley Cup final. “A lot of the information was rushed through and they will be invited again so they can present the full information that was skipped over,” Rick Fairbairn said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO vice-chairperson. Because of plans to end the meeting early Wednesday and resume discussions Thursday, presentations were held to a strict 10-minute timeline. “I’m sorry you had to rush through the presentation,” director Shirley Fowler told SIR officials. “I am sorry we didn’t have more time to spend on it.” SIR officials are prepared to head back to the regional district.
Rural residents seek city sewer hookup RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Rural areas want to be able to hook on to Vernon’s sewer system without joining the city. The Regional District of North Okanagan is requesting that the City of Vernon consider changing its policies to allow non-residents to connect to the sewer treatment plant without having to be annexed. “We have people who want sewer but they don’t want to join the city,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. Macnabb believes such an initiative could be financially beneficial for the city as it would create additional revenue. “It makes economic sense to allow the hook-ups if there is capacity at the plant,” he said, adding that not annexing the areas would mean the city wouldn’t be financially responsible for roads and other services. “Osoyoos had a similar policy but it now allows people to hook up because they get revenue from the sewer.” But it’s unlikely the city will embrace RDNO’s request. “From a management perspective, it’s challenging to have
properties outside of jurisdictions that get services,” said Buffy Baumbrough, a Vernon director. “If you want city services, you have the option to join the city.” Wayne Lippert, a Vernon director, is opposed to amending the policy. “There are some sewer customers in the electoral areas already that don’t pay their bills and we can’t make them comply because they are outside of our jurisdiction,” he said. “It’s against the law to shut them off (of sewer) but we can’t make them comply and pay.” Lippert says the city also has more control over what businesses
and residents put into the sewer system if
they are located within Vernon’s boundaries.

“We welcome an opportunity to speak further about the SIR program,” said Cara McCurrach, SIR general manager. SIR was first initiated in 1991 and the goal is to control the impact of codling moth on the commercial apple and pear industry. The program includes the use of sterile moths and mating disruption, as well as population monitoring, enforcement and education. “It’s the only program that uses sterile moths on such a large scale,” said Hugh Philip, an SIR contractor. “The program has achieved its performance level and is keeping (apple) damage down.” The other focus of SIR is reducing the amount of pesticides orchardists must use to control codling moth. “Eighty to 90 per cent of growers don’t have to put a spray on or a maximum of two sprays in a season,” said Philip. Besides orchardists, the program includes apple trees in residential yards. “Everyone in the area is required to control the pest,” said Philip. The program is funded through taxpayers in the Okanagan as well as a parcel tax on orchardists.

Perhaps you’re a shop owner renting in a busy neighbourhood mall. Or you’re an accounting or other firm with a long-term lease in a great downtown office. You probably settled on your prized location after scouting the market. You’ve spent money and effort on advertising your business, and you’ve invested in unique leasehold improvements (like your storefront, built-in counters or fixed office partitions). Maybe the rent you pay is now well below current market rates. But all business owners who carry on their business under a long-term lease should beware. If you haven’t registered your lease, your location may not be protected. If your landlord sells the property or defaults on its mortgage, the buyer or mortgage lender (for their own valid business reasons) could possibly turf you out, and you could lose your lease and location.
wanted vacant possession. So the lender wanted to evict the tenant and sub-tenant, even though their leases hadn’t run out. The tenant and subtenant wanted to stay. Here are the key relevant points: In BC, a lease for 3 years or longer must be registered in the Land Title Office, or else it is only valid as a contract between the landlord and the tenant. If unregistered, it generally doesn’t bind a third party (for example, a good-faith buyer or a mortgage lender who registers their respective transfer or mortage in the Land Title Office). Sometimes there’s an exception if the buyer or mortgage lender knew about the unregistered lease and acted fraudulently. But merely knowing about an unregistered lease may not, by itself, amount to fraud – it depends on the circumstances.

Spiers takes aim at report
CITY OF ARMSTRONG
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon politician is accusing city hall of misleading the public. Coun. Bob Spiers questions a two-page advertisement the city ran in The Morning Star last Sunday. “There are errors within this report. All average figures are wrong,” he said. As an example, he wonders why a list of salaries refers to the restorative justice co-ordinator when that individual works under contract. The advertisement also indicates that Vernon’s staffing levels are less than other communities. “I don’t know what the sources of those figures are,” said Spiers. “This is like comparing apples and oranges. We don’t include parks staff (it’s a regional service) but in other communities, they do include parks. It’s totally erroneous.” In terms of why a contractor would be placed in with regular staff, chief administrative officer Leon Gous says that’s simply the reporting process followed.
“I don’t know what the sources of those figures are.” — Bob Spiers “It shows up on the line item as salary,” he said. Gous believes the information comparing communities came from the provincial government and he points out that all municipalities operate differently. “There are no easy comparisons because they all do something else,” he said. “We’re trying to have an illustration of what’s going to total staff expenses compared to contracting out.” Spiers is insisting that the information from the advertisement not be included in the city’s 2010 annual report unless the details are amended. “If you want transparency and honesty, let’s do it,” he said.

Skaters kick off Summer Jam Morning Star Staff
Summer’s heating up for local skateboarders. WEST49 in the Village Green Centre and Fulcrum Skate are teaming up to kick off the summer skateboard season by hosting the first Summer Jam 2011. The event takes place Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Coldstream Skatepark in Creekside Park. “This is the longest day of summer and is the international skateboarding community’s official season kickoff date,” said Scotty Gwyer, manager of WEST49. Cold drinks and hot dogs will be sold for $1 each with proceeds of the Summer Jam going to the Big Brothers and Sisters organization. The event is open to
all ages. There will be a best trick contest in three different skill groups, and the contest will be a jam format, so more prizes for more kids, a level competition field and more chances to land some awesome tricks.
“There is a lot of skateboard talent and some amazing terrain in the Okanagan, and this event brings forward an opportunity for the community to learn more about skateboarding,” said Gwyer.

Auxiliaries roll out new wheels Morning Star Staff
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP’s summer bike patrol will have some extra legs. Auxiliary members have joined to assist regular officers on their patrols. “More than one-third of the auxiliaries are trained for the bike patrol program now,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “They are geared up and ready to show their presence for the July long weekend in and around Vernon.” The dedicated group of 18 auxiliaries that work with the detachment put in countless hours of volunteer time in the North Okanagan communities all year long. They assist with scheduled events like Winter Carnival, Funtastic, as well as other community events throughout our detachment area. They are also out patrolling evenings and weekends. The Downtown Vernon Association, in cooperation with individual merchants A.E. Berry Insurance and KT’s Family Restaurant saw the value of the bike program and have contributed more than $1,000 to purchase two of the four bicycles that will be used by the seven-member RCMP auxiliary patrol team. “The members of the association are very pleased that the bikes they have provided will continue to allow the RCMP and the auxiliaries to be very visible in the downtown core,” said DVA present Ruth Hoyte. “The DVA believes this will have a strong deterrent to crime and will help everyone feel safe and secure while enjoying downtown Vernon.” The other two bikes were supplied by the City of Vernon so the auxiliaries could continue to do the work they do including assisting members of

Report to the Community
A donor’s story
Concerts, was President of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, a director of The United Way and the Interior Region Boy Scouts and also a Community Foundation director in the 1990’s chairing the Investment Committee and serving on the Grants Committee.
As a youth Jack Gordon lived in Limerick, Saskatchewan where his father was a veterinarian. “Dad was the only vet from the U.S. border to the CPR main line and he was always very busy. Even so he was also a school trustee and constantly active in the community,” says Gordon.
Gordon says he supposes his career really began in Limerick where he worked for the municipality as assistant secretary treasurer. “It sounds grand,” he says, “but I swept floors, cleaned up, washed windows and occasionally even did a bit of bookkeeping.”
Jack and his three brothers grew up in a town where he says, “volunteering was what you did; there was no question about it, everybody pitched in and got things done. You supported your community; there was never any doubt about that.”
When World War Two intervened he joined the RCAF, trained as a radar mechanic and was stationed in Great Britain from 1942 to 1945. He returned to the University of Saskatchewan, graduating in 1947, then joined an accounting firm in Regina where he achieved his Chartered Accountant designation.
Jack Gordon
Vernon resident Gordon is still supporting his community as a Foundation donor. “I made a good living from this community; this is my community, I like it here, my family likes it here and I wanted to help.” He says he chose to donate to the Community Foundation, “because they do the best job of raising and managing the money.” As a retired Chartered Accountant he speaks from experience.
In 1952 Jack and his wife moved west to Victoria then to Vancouver two years after that. A decade later they moved to Vernon where he practiced until his retirement in 1984 as manager of the KPMG offices in Vernon and Kamloops.
A tax specialist, Gordon and his wife moved from Vancouver to Vernon in 1964 when he bought an accounting practice. “I had a lot of lumber clients,” he says, “and Vernon was a good place to be.”
“I’ve been lucky all my life,” he says, “in school, in university, in my career. I’ve done well at investing and I always tried to deal with good people.”
Speaking about the community Gordon observes that “volunteers in Vernon do an enormous amount that people never hear about.”
“The Foundation has a good story to tell, it’s done a good job over the years,” say Gordon. “Lots of people have money to give, not always big, and they need to know about the Community Foundation.”
As a volunteer himself, he was active with North Okanagan Community

CFNO supports project at Kingfisher Community Hall
Community Foundations are composed of hundreds of stories; from the reason the original donors began a Foundation through the stories of all of the grant recipients, the stories of those who have generously donated since inception of the Foundation, the growth of the endowment and the directors who have served as volunteer stewards through the decades.
an important and valuable issue in many communities. I can tell you that our Foundation has begun to embrace that leadership role with the sponsorship of the Vital Signs community report card project detailed on page 4.
The rural community of Kingfisher east of Enderby is located along the banks of the Shuswap River and Kingfisher Hall, built in 1949, is the centre of community activity.
The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan is delighted in this Annual Report to bring to you several current stories including one about Jack Gordon, a Foundation donor who began life in Limerick, Saskatchewan before going on to lead a major accounting firm in the North Okanagan. There are also stories about current grant recipients and how discretionary funding from the Foundation is making a difference in their projects.
It’s been an active year for other Foundation Committees with a new Strategic Plan to be Mike Tindall, implemented by early fall and the distribution CFNO President this spring of “Giving Matters,” an exciting new Foundation newsletter. The Grants Committee reviewed almost 40 grant applications this year and grants were awarded to 14 community organizations June 1st.
Part of the ongoing story of each foundation is the growth of its endowment fund and on behalf of the Board I’m able to report a significant recovery since 2008. I would like to thank the members of the Investment Committee for their initiative and guidance and to advise that funds under management have grown to $ 11.3 million after distributions (2010 - $10.1M).
For many years the Grants Committee was chaired by Director, Carol Williams until her untimely passing in February. Carol was a vibrant and selfless community volunteer who earned the respect of our Board and our community. She will be missed in so many ways.
While endowment growth has been the principal story for many foundations, the acceptance of a community leadership role has become
Lastly, our thanks to everyone in the community who made donations this year; your ongoing contributions and support are the backbone of a successful community foundation.
“As with most sixty-two year old buildings, the hall requires continual maintenance and upgrades. In addition, as the local population ages, the needs of the community are changing” said Society spokesperson, Murray MacDonald. The Kingfisher Community Society (KCS) applied to the Community Foundation for a grant to improve the acoustics in the hall by reducing echoes and rebuilding the stage to accommodate events which require more intimacy such as weddings, small acoustic performances and funerals. This project, though necessary, is hard to finance because most Society funds are committed to general maintenance. The Foundation contribution, in partnership with the Society, will make this project a reality. A skilled group of volunteers has been assembled and is moving into the construction phase. “We cannot overemphasize the importance of this help to our community development,” said MacDonald. The Foundation last supported the Kingfisher Community Society in 2005 with a grant to construct a porch on the hall.

campaign is to raise funds from grants, music school members and alumni and the community at large and we are most grateful to the Community Foundation for its support and vision.”
“To date, this is one of our largest grants,” said Music School President, Jacquie Friesen. “The Community Foundation grant has given us a tremendous boost – psychologically and of course to the campaign total. Your contribution has given us new energy and is an example and incentive that other potential donors might follow.”
“The main objective for the new Centre will be to reduce barriers to quality, restorative, and preventive oral health care for low-income individuals,” said Program Coordinator, Chris Turner. “We’ll be providing basic restorative services, preventative care (hygiene, sealants, fluoride varnish and early intervention), and referrals to oral surgeons.” Children’s dental health will be a principal focus of the Community Dental Access Centre.
The Music School is a non-profit charitable society that provides a wide range of musical instruction and educational experiences to residents of the North Okanagan. The Music School had humble beginnings, starting in 1975 with 23 students and 2 teachers housed in an Army Base Hut. nd
Located in the Smith House, a heritage property on 32 Avenue, the School offers more than 32 programs taught by 23 professional music instructors to more than 650 students. Since its inception in 1975, more than 19,000 students have learned music theory, vocal technique and how to play an instrument. “The Music School is more than a music instruction school,” said Friesen. “Our goal is to help students integrate and become part of the community music scene by providing them with many opportunities to express their talents in school orchestras and ensembles and community presentations.” Scholarships are also provided and those who cannot afford music lessons are not excluded but reviewed on case by case basis. “The Smith House is critical to providing all this instruction and activity, said Friesen. “It was built in 1908, provides an atmosphere that would be difficult to duplicate in other buildings and has the warmth and character to provide the perfect environment for a music school.” A recent engineering assessment concluded, however, that the foundation requires replacement at a total cost of approximately $300, 000. “The music school’s budget cannot begin to support a project of this magnitude,” said Friesen, “consequently, we started a fundraising effort called the Sound Foundation Capital Campaign. The purpose of the
The Community Dental Access Centre (CDAC) will be assisted in its clinic renovation by a grant from the Community Foundation. CDAC is a non-profit dental clinic which will provide services to all low-income people of the North Okanagan when it opens later in 2011.

CDAC staff and volunteers will work with local agencies to provide client-centered, integrated care in a respectful, caring, confidential and non-judgmental environment. “Services will be provided to the following groups,” said Turner; “low-income individuals/families, children from age one, First Nations people, high-risk pregnant women, seniors, streetentrenched people, working poor, chronically unemployed, seasonal workers, drug / alcohol-addicted individuals, mental health clients, disabled individuals, persons with multiple barriers, and recent immigrants.” The Community Dental Access Centre (North Okanagan) Society is a social enterprise and a registered society with charitable status.
Restricted Funds vs Discretionary Funds Community Foundations are made up of hundreds of individual endowment funds created by past donors. When a donor has specified the recipient of the earnings from the endowment as, for instance an annual scholarship; this is known as a restricted fund. When a donor has given the money to the Foundation without disbursement instructions this is known as a discretionary fund and it is the earnings from the discretionary funds that the Grants Committee disperses each year throughout the community. As with many older foundations the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan consists largely of restricted funds. This means that the much smaller number of discretionary funds provides a limited pool of money each year for grant applicants. This year just under $63,000 was granted to 14 community groups while applications for funds totaled almost four times that amount. One of the Foundation’s current goals is to increase the discretionary funds under management in order to support a larger number of worthy community projects.

Foundation supports after school reading clubs Community Foundation funds will support purchase of materials for “After School Reading Clubs” managed by the Junction Literacy Centre at three Vernon Elementary Schools. The purpose of the program is to provide structured reading and writing support to children who are behind in their reading skills. According to Debbie Schiller, Executive Director of the Junction Literacy and Youth Center, “the grant from the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan will help us purchase a kit of literacy materials (appropriate books, listening centres, letter tiles, games, etc) for each school.” “These materials help build children’s confidence and make reading fun,” said Schiller. “In our pilot year, the program has been a great success. Children at each school love their Reading Club and their reading levels and confidence have greatly improved.”
and 3 stay after school for “Reading Club”. They play outside for about 30 minutes, enjoy a healthy snack, and then engage for an hour with 2 qualified teachers and a trained volunteer in a variety of fun reading activities. Stations are set up to practice: sight word recognition, reading “just right” books one-on-one or in a small group, reading along with taped books and playing games with words and letters. These activities build children’s “sight word bank” and help develop problem-solving skills for words they don’t know.

Vital Signs The Foundation is sponsoring the first Vital Signs community report card project for Vernon. The project consists of identifying Research Theme Areas such as Safety and Security, the Gap between the Rich and Poor, Housing, Learning, Arts and Culture and more. The Vernon project will likely contain 10 or 11 of these areas which are presently being identified by a citizen’s leadership advisory group. Next, the advisory group will identify indicators within each theme which will reflect the views and experiences of different sectors in the community while providing an accurate and reliable measure of conditions and circumstances. Information and support is being provided by the RCMP, the City of Vernon, the Provincial Government and the Community Foundations of Canada. Community Futures, KPMG and the City of Vernon have contributed funds toward the project. Once the Theme Areas and indicators have been finalized the data will be analyzed before presentation to a larger citizen’s group which will provide feedback on the findings and potential solutions. The Vital Signs Report, one of 18 under way across Canada, will be available to the public in October.

Village recreation fees remain same RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It won’t cost more to lace up the skates or splash around in the pool in Lumby. Fees for public skating and swimming have been frozen by the White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee for 2011/12. “With economic conditions as they are, we want to give residents and families a break,” said chairperson Rick Fairbairn. The ability of residents to pay is also a concern for administration. In a report, staff points out that there was
a decrease in revenue for the pool and arena from 2009 to 2010 even though fees went up. “People are finding money tight and if you raise fees to a certain point, you may lose participants if you put them up. Then revenue may just stay the same or decrease,” said Al McNiven, parks and recreation general manager. Besides public attendance events, fees for rentals, such as ice time and field use, will climb two per cent. “All of that is cost of living because we want to cover our costs,” said McNiven referring to
Westside water use restricted Morning Star Staff
North Westside Road residents are being urged to be water wise. The Regional District of Central Okanagan is reminding customers of the Killiney Beach and Westshore utilities that outdoor water use restrictions apply all year round. “By following these regulations, residents will help ensure reservoirs are replenished and there’s an adequate water supply,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator. “From June 16 to Sept. 15, unless other restrictions are in place, stage two water restrictions are in effect.” That restricts outdoor watering to two days each week. Customers with even-numbered addresses can irrigate outdoors on Saturdays and Tuesdays while those with odd-numbered addresses may only water on Sunday and Wednesday. Customers with an automated irrigation system may only water if needed on their allotted day between midnight and 6 a.m., while people with manual outdoor irrigation must restrict their watering if needed, to between 6 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and midnight on their respective irrigation day. “If you don’t need to water outdoors on your allotted day or time period, please do not waste water,” said Smith.
utilities, materials and labour. A significant fee increase is partly a result of the committee receiving a $400,000 provincial grant for upgrades to the
outdoor pool, arena and curling club. The grant represents about half of the function’s budget. “That takes the pressure off the budget

From left, Special Olympian Steven Linemayr holds an Edmonton jersey with Oiler head coach Tom Renney; Shea Weber and Jerred Smithson of the Nashville Predators flank banquet chairman John Topping and Hall of Famer Howie Meeker reveals just how close the Vancouver Canucks came to winning the Stanley Cup, Friday night at the Temptasian Restaurant.
NHLers boost Special Olympics KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
They told hockey stories, posed for photos and raised thousands of dollars for the Vernon Special Olympics, Friday night at the Temptasian Restaurant. Hall of Famer Howie Meeker, who won four Stanley Cups with the Toronto Maple Leafs, offered his explanation for the Canucks’ loss to the Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals. “I call it the horses, thanks to Max Bentley years ago,” said Meeker, 87. “There are runners bred for speed and there are runners bred for muddy tracks. The Vancouver Canucks were built for speed and the mudders were the Boston Bruins. The Boston Bruins, over four series, probably 25, 26 games, they were bigger, they were stronger and they were better mudders, by far.” The 1947 NHL Rookie of the Year with Toronto said he watches hockey to be entertained, not overly concerned with who wins. “The Sedins are probably the greatest minds next to Wayne Gretzky who have ever played in the National Hockey League. In the regular season, they had a second longer to make all those gorgeous plays, but in the playoffs the attackers are right on you.” Meeker, who lives in Parksville with his wife, Leah, said he joined Special Olympics as a director in 1948 and has ben involved ever since. “This is a wonderful crew, John Topping and all the volunteers,” said Meeker, who tossed the dysfunctional mic aside and used his booming Hockey Night in Canada voice. “You people make it work. You pay the big bucks.” Meeker said winning the Stanley Cup during the original-
six days only took eight games, proclaiming 16 wins was a tough chore. “We were done in May. We were gone fishing or back home making love.” New York Ranger full-time scout Ernie Gare called Topping a “special man” during his address which Meeker figured went too long. “Gawd Ernie, it’s nine o’clock. It’s my bedtime.” “Our family has fond connections to Special Olympics,” said Gare, a 19-year NHL bird-dog. “My wife Debbie’s sister, Jody Sammartino, was part of the Special Olympics program (as a swimmer) and it certainly enriched Jody’s life.” Gare, whose oldest son Lanny, was a key part of the 1999 Royal Bank Cup champion Vernon Vipers, recognized Viper owner Duncan Wray for outstanding service as a junior A hockey team owner, while also noting that emcee Patrick Nicol, a Vernon councillor, was actually “part of a farreaching cult which wears blue and white jerseys; Patrick is a Maple Leaf fan.” Quipped Gare: “Apparently, people in Calgary were pretty interested in the Vancouver riot the other night, especially the fires. Guess they haven’t seen Flames in two months.” Edmonton Oilers head coach Tom Renney, who is Gare’s brother-in-law, was attending the University of North Dakota when he became a student organizer with the Special Olympics. “It was an engaging and important time for me,” Renney told the crowd of 160. “My two brothers from Cranbrook had come to visit me and I was in the fieldhouse and on the track and they were up in the stands crying. If they can move a couple of rednecks from Cranbrook, they can move

anything.” Joey Moss, perhaps the most famous Special Olympian in Canada, has been on the Oilers’ staff for 30 years, and Renney said he’s considered family. “Every generation of Oiler players love him and he is so symbolic of the honesty and truth of Special Olympians. You can’t help but love the guy.” Renney, who brought a couple of autographed Taylor Hall jerseys for the auction, urged guests to never underestimate Special Olympians. “People are drawn to them because they represent truth, humility and a passion for the little sport they’re in.” Jerred Smithson and Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators were special guests at the banquet, donating autographed jerseys to the cause. They fielded questions from the crowd and Nicol, a sports statistics fanatic and historian. Nicol offered Special Olympic swimmer Steven Linemayr the first question, suggesting perhaps a tip on training. “Any ideas?” deadpanned Linemayr. Smithson, accompanied by his girlfriend, former high school tennis star Jaymie Hackman, of Vernon, said he actually loves hitting the gym and makes sure he pushes himself when working out. Weber, whose Kelowna girlfriend, Bailey Munro, joined him at the banquet, was asked about being nominated for the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenceman. “I found out right in the middle of the first round,” said the 25-year-old pride of Sicamous. “It’s a huge honour to be part of that group of three with Zdeno Chara and Nicklas Lidstrom. I don’t think I have a chance to win it, but it’s definitely an honour.”

Sun Devils shell Diamonds 12-1 The Kamloops Sun Devils shelled the Vernon Diamondbacks 12-1 in Okanagan Major Baseball League play Friday night at McArthur Island Sports Centre. The Devils, who only had two singles and a three-run dinger, received 14 walks. “Our pitching just wasn’t there tonight,” said head coach Kyle Anderson. “We cannot walk that many guys and expect to be in a ball game; it just doesn’t work that way, especially when we struggle to score runs against these teams.” Josh Wade scratched out the only hit for Vernon, while Jason Webster got the only RBI as he cashed in Jay Mielke on a ground ball to second. The D-backs will play three nine-inning games this week, with two slated for Saturday at Marshall Field against the Kelowna Jays (time TBA) and Sunday (5 p.m.) versus Kamloops.

Nesbitt, Gares guide Pee Wee Royals The C&A Contracting Royals crowned the Kal Tire Storm 15-5 in Pee Wee baseball action Thursday night at Creekside Park. Nathan Nesbitt and Josh Gares provided the Royals with three scoreless innings of pitching to start the game, highlighted by a nifty third-base pickoff by Nesbitt. The Royals played solid fundamental baseball, including a perfectly executed rundown by third baseman Chad Walker and shortstop Gares. Joey Kohut came around to score three times for the Royals, and Kaden Costigan scored twice. Sharply hit stand-up doubles by Nesbitt and Chris Dlouhy highlighted the Royals’ bats. Tyler Wellman closed out the open inning on the mound for the Royals. For the Storm, Lucas Williams hit a majestic fourth-inning shot over the centre field fence, while first baseman Raymond Alexis led the Storm defence by turning an unassisted double-play.
Stars shut down Kelowna Kickers The Vernon Stars grounded the Kelowna Kickers 2-0 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. The Stars scored once in each half with Kenny James parachuting in a gorgeous cross from the left side which was nodded in by Colin Greveling for his first header goal ever. Late in the second half, Mark Hopkins took advantage of a defensive slip and chipped the ball over the advancing keeper. Ray Tims recorded the shutout as the Stars went to 6-3-1. Vernon Kal Tire blew three one-goal leads before settling for a 3-3 draw with Lake Country at Reiswig Park. Tireless midfielder Denis Chabot, named the Lumby Ramshorn Pub Man of the Match, opened the scoring when he swiped a loose ball off Lake Country keeper George Heiss. Chabot’s 20-yard shot early in the second half was deflected in by a sliding Lake Country defender Ray Wagner. Chabot completed the Tiremen attack by knocking in a nifty cross by Mark DeVolder.

Megan Hamilton of the Okanagan Rhythmics Club competes in the Western Canadian Championships in Edmonton.
Gymnasts shine Morning Star Staff
It was a week of firsts for the Okanagan Rhythmics athletes at the Western Canadian Championships in Edmonton. Eight athletes represented the team in an event which ranked more than 150 gymnasts and served as a qualifier to the Canadian Championships. For three of the Okanagan gymnasts, it was their very first time competing at this level. In the 3B category, the youngest age level at the competition, Jaedyn Andreotti, 8, performed three personal best routines. “It felt super exciting to go to such a big competition.” said Andreotti. “I knew it was something special. I had practised with more focus than ever before and I knew I had improved.” After two long days of competition, Andreotti won the all-around title of Western Canadian Champion. “When I won, I was so excited. I had never won a competition before and now I am the Western Champion.” In the level 4B category (ages 10-12), Emily O’Quinn and Isabel Wiseman both gave strong performances at their first Westerns, finishing fourth and sixth overall respectively. Jaalah Ward, 9, competed in the elite National Pre-Novice Category taking first place in the Free and Rope events and finishing fourth overall. In the National Novice and Junior categories, the top-10 athletes all around qualify for the nationals. Both
levels were heavily stacked with veteran athletes all hoping to qualify. In the Novice Category, Megan Hamilton, 11, showed that consistency was the key. She exceeded even her own expectations, placing fourth overall. “It’s an amazing feeling to achieve your goal, but knowing that you worked hard for it feels even better,” said Hamilton of her qualification to the nationals. Also in the Novice category, Tessa Rohatensky, 11, won over the judges to place 11th overall, taking one of the wildcard spots to the nationals. Hannah and Loren Stanley, competing for their very first time in a national level, placed 12th and 15th out of 40 of the best Juniors in the country. After four flawless routines, Loren Stanley won one of only two Junior wildcard spots to the Canadian tournament. Coach, Brie-Anne MacPherson, was ecstatic with the girls’ performances. “I was so proud of each of the girls,” said MacPherson. “They all performed with such confidence and joy. To have three athletes qualify to the National Championships, each for their first time, was such a beautiful reward for all their hard work and dedication.” Megan Hamilton, Tessa Rohatensky and Loren Stanley joined teammates Kiah Ward, Kelsey Anderson and Victoria Podollan at the National Championships in Montreal at the end of May.

Armstrong Shamrocks’ Logan Strohm gets by Vernon Tigers’ Steve Latimer and tries an over-the-shoulder shot on netminder Iver Sandaker during lacrosse action Friday at Wesbild Centre.
Tigers sweat for Cup Morning Star Staff
They didn’t whine about another night with a short bench. Instead, the Vernon Tigers went out and knocked off the first-place Armstrong Shamrocks 7-6 Friday night at the Wesbild Centre. It was the second straight year the Cats brushed back the Irish in the Aaron’s Challenge Cup, improving their Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse Association record to 3-4. “We never even talked about being short (13 runners) at all,” said Tigers’ coach Lawrie Skolrood. “We had a great crowd tonight which always helps motivates the guys and they really wanted to win it for the fans. It’s all part of our philosophy of getting better everytime we’re on the floor and the guys played really well. It was very entertaining lacrosse.” Tyler Plante opened the scoring with an unassisted goal in the first minute, firing a shot past Shamrocks’ starting netminder Owen Siddall. Kirk Krause made it 2-0 before Armstrong bounced back with two goals from Braydon Sanders and Steve Clark before the end of the first period. The Tigers also started the second frame with an early goal as veteran Bryan Cope found the back of the net just 23 seconds in. The teams then swapped goals a few times with Cope collecting his second of the night, a powerplay marker to tie it 5-5 with 90 seconds left in the period. Captain Chad Pounder gave the Shamrocks the lead as he slipped one past Tigers goalie Iver Sandaker just five minutes into the third period. The Cats took advantage of a powerplay opportunity at the midway mark of the third as Rob Short netted his second of the game, the 6-6 equalizer. Plante pocketed the winner three minutes later when he beat Siddall with a hard shot. Iver Sandaker was in a groove for the Tigers with 44 saves, while the ever-improving Siddall recorded 41 stops. Plante, who finished with 2+1, was chosen first
star, while Short (2+1) took second and Steve Clark of the Shamrocks, with two goals, was third star. Armstrong fell to 5-3, two points ahead of the second-place Kelowna Raiders, who edged the visiting Kamloops Rattlers 6-5 Friday night. “It was a back and forth game, hard-fought,” said Plante. “It seems like we were always short of breath out there. We gave it our all.” Said Short: “A lot of nights, we have a limited number of players. It’s hard. We always have to play it smart the make the best of our abilities. I thought we played really good tonight.”
Junior Shamrocks drop pair It was a hard two nights of lacrosse for the Armstrong Junior Shamrocks as they bowed 11-7 to the Kamloops Rattlers Friday night at the NorVal Sports Centre after losing 10-7 to the host Kelowna Raiders Thursday night. Shamrock GM Ryan Nitchie said the 9-2 Raiders used a planned tactic of fear and intimidation to rough up the Shamrocks leading scorers Owen Barker, Brett Hawrys and Stephen Ringdal However, Barker won a clear decision in a firstperiod fight with Ryan Phillips. The game turned ugly when Ringdal was attacked from behind by Phillps after scoring a goal on the powerplay resulting in Phillips ejection. League points leader Tyler French of the Raiders was ejected midway through the second period after a blind side cross check to a Shamrock player who was making a line change at the bench, earning a game misconduct. The 7-5-1 Shamrocks capitalized on that power play when Nathan Marcetta ripped a top corner shot from the shooter position. In the dying seconds, Marcetta was challenged by Shawn Hochhausen and the Enderby slugger proved more than the Raiders tough guy could handle as Marcetta landed several hard shots to win a clear decision.
B.C. Golf Hall of Fame member Jackie Little, of Alberni Golf Club, fired a final-round 5-over 78 Thursday to come from behind and win the B.C. Senior Women’s Championship at the Cranbrook Golf Club. Little, 53, formerly of Vernon, previously won the provincial title in 2008. She advances to the Royale Cup Nationals, Aug. 22-25, in Whitevale, Ont. She finished the championship with a score of 13-over-par 232, besting round one and two leader Alison Murdoch, of Victoria Golf Club, and last year’s runner-up Lynda Palahniuk, of Kelowna Golf & CC, by one stroke. “This title means everything to me,” said Little, who did not play in 2010 after being struck by a truck while crossing the street. “It’s been a long 20- month journey of no golf and lots of major rehabilitation. My expectations were quite low heading into the tournament so to come out of it as the champion after what I’ve been through is amazing and it’s a very emotional win for me.” Little trailed Murdoch by three strokes heading into the day but managed to outlast her after Murdoch struggled with a tough bogey filled round.
Murdoch did hold on to defend her Super Senior title with an overall tournament score of 14-over-par 233. “I had a very difficult day today,” said Murdoch, 61. “I didn’t have my swing and
missed many very close putts.” Representing B.C. in the Interprovincial Team Championship at the Canadian Senior Women’s Championship will be Jackie Little, Palahniuk and Murdoch.

An Of¿cial Community Plan is a statement of objectives and policies that are intended to guide decisions on planning and land use matters. As a result of this review and the public input received through an on-line survey and community forum held in the fall of 2010, the Township has drafted the Township of Spallumcheen Of¿cial Community Plan Bylaw No. 1794, 2011. Key issues that have been addressed in Bylaw No. 1794 include: • establishing new policies to help protect aquifers; • re¿ning policies to consider when reviewing rezoning applications that affect lands located outside the Agricultural Land Reserve; • changing the future land use designation of properties that are zoned Large Holding (L.H), have a lot area of less than 8 hectares and are located outside the Agricultural Land Reserve from Large Holding to Small Holding; • establishing targets and actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions; • designating a Major Road Network; • establishing policies and development guidelines to consider when reviewing applications that affect hillside areas; • establishing policies and development guidelines to consider when reviewing applications that affect lands regulated by the Provincial Riparian Areas Regulation. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by this Bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above Bylaw. No submissions or representations to Council shall be received after conclusion of the Public Hearing. Copies of the proposed Bylaw may be inspected at the of¿ce of the Township of Spallumcheen, 4144 Spallumcheen Way, Spallumcheen, BC, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding statutory holidays. The Bylaw is also available for reference on the Township’s website at www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca Telephone enquiries may be directed to Greg Routley of the Planning Department at (250) 550-3734.

Many homeowners believe an automatic (or in-ground) irrigation system is the most efficient way to water. In theory this is true; but, in practice, it’s often not the case. A badly designed, or poorly maintained, system can waste a lot of water. The fact is, 24 per cent of Okanagan water is used by residents on their lawns and gardens. Outdoor watering is where we can have the biggest impact on our water consumption. Irrigation experts estimate homeowners can reduce outdoor watering needs by 25 per cent just by keeping up with irrigation system maintenance and setting the timer properly. If you’re on con s u m p t i o n - b a s e d billing, this could also mean savings to your wallet! So, how do you know if your system is operating efficiently? The first step is to do a basic walk- through of your system. Turn on each zone for 3 – 4 minutes and look for these specific things: ■ Where You Water: Make sure sprinklers heads are not watering your driveway or sidewalk, but watering where it is intended, on vegetation. ■ Broken Sprinkler Heads: Sprinkler heads are susceptible to damage, and since most people run their systems while they sleep, broken heads often go unnoticed. Inspect your system and replace broken sprinkler heads. ■ Distribution Uniformity: A perfect irrigation system would deliver water evenly across your landscape. But wind, slopes, mismatched sprinkler heads and pressure changes can make some areas too wet and other areas too dry. If you have a persistent brown spot on your lawn, it could be the result of poor water distribution. The solution is to fix the system in that zone, not increase the amount that you water. ■ Mixed Sprinkler Heads: Rotating spray
reached the roots. Also, water between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. to prevent evaporation. People often ask if they should water every other day, every third day, or on some other schedule. The reality is you should water only when your lawn needs it, and that can change depending on where you live in the Okanagan, the unique characteristics of your yard, and the season. Consult with a landscaping or irrigation professional for assistance, and to check your system periodically to ensure it is operating at maximum efficiency.

Get ready to ride the range at O’Keefe Ranch. The historic site is introducing trail rides Thursdays to Sundays at noon, 2 and 4 p.m., while there will be pony rides Thursdays to Sundays at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. “We are very excited to bring trail rides to the ranch,” said Alicia Kay, special events co-ordinator. “It is a natural fit. Visitors expect to come to the ranch and ride a horse; we can now offer guests this experience.” Trail ride reservations and pre-bookings are encouraged. “At this time, the ranch can accommodate up to
five riders at a time and a maximum of two pony rides,” said Kay Another addition to the ranch is a children’s playground donated by the Vernon Rotary Club. “It is great to have a playground at the ranch,” said Kay. “This was something that had been suggested over the years by past visitors, and now it is a reality.” O’Keefe Ranch is also the home to 10 RV spots. “It is a great setting for visitors. They can spend the night in a farm setting and visit a piece of our history all at the same time,” said Kay. For more information. go to www.okeeferanch.ca.

It’s time to take precautions against West Nile virus Morning Star Staff
The Interior Health Authority is reminding residents to take extra precautions against mosquito bites this summer. West Nile virus, a disease that is spread from infected birds to humans through mosquito bites, has been present in B.C. since 2009. “If you have been bitten by a mosquito, you do not have to be tested for WNv,” said Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist. “Most people who become infected with the virus will have no symptoms or ill effects at all. About 20 per cent of infected people may experience mild to severe flu-like symptoms and less than one per cent of people who are bitten by an infected mosquito will get severely ill. The elderly and people with compromised immune systems are generally more at risk of developing a severe illness in response to WNv exposure.” If you have mild health symptoms that you think might be from the WNv, you should get plenty of rest, drink fluids, and avoid alcohol. If your symptoms persist and seem to be getting more severe, call your doctor. While the current prevalence of WNv is relatively low in mosquitoes across the region, it is important for all residents, regardless of where they live, to take mosquito bite precautions to reduce the chances of infection. The best protection against WVn is to avoid mosquito bites and reduce mosquito breeding areas. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself from West Nile virus: Use mosquito repellent. Apply mosquito repellent to areas of exposed skin. Check the product label for instructions on proper use. Repellents containing DEET are safe if the label precautions are followed. DEET-free products are available, but may not provide as long-lasting protection. View the HealthFile on DEET (link below) for guidelines on how frequently
you should apply repellant. Wear protective clothing. Avoid dark clothing, as it tends to attract mosquitoes. If you are in an area with lots of mosquitoes, wear loose fitting, full-length pants and a long-sleeved shirt to keep mosquitoes from biting. Mosquitoes that can carry WNv are most active at dusk and at dawn. Avoid using floral fragrances such as per-
fumes, soaps, hair care products and lotions. Install mosquito screens on windows. Consider staying indoors between dusk and dawn and in the early evening. Prevent mosquito breeding around your home. It doesn’t take much time or water for mosquitoes to develop from eggs into adults. Anything that can hold water can be a mosquito breeding area.
Identify and remove potential breeding areas on your property: empty saucers under flowerpots; change water in bird baths twice a week; unclog rain gutters; drain tarps, tires, and other debris where rain water may collect; and install a pump in ornamental ponds or stock them with fish. Stagnant backyard pools can be a big source of mosquitoes and should be main-
tained regularly to prevent mosquito growth. B.C. conducts a surveillance program for WNv which includes testing of dead birds in the corvid family: crows, ravens, magpies and jays. These birds are more likely than others to die from West Nile virus. The program also includes trapping and testing of mosquitoes from numerous sites in the province. Members
of the public can report or submit dead corvid birds by using the form
at http://westnile.bccdc. org or by calling 1-866300-0520.

Brian served in the Royal Air Force and came to Canada in 1964 to work in the aircraft industry. “I’m a $10 Canadian,� he joked, referring to the cost of his citizenship papers. The couple had an acreage in Alberta and brought all their energy and enthusiasm, and even some of the plants, to their smaller property. Now they work together restoring furniture; they do all the sanding by hand, Brian rebuilds as needed, including clock repair, and May is the paint and upholstery expert. “Between us, there’s not much we can’t do,� said May. “Most people who retire die an early death because they have nothing to do. This keeps ours hands and minds busy.�

Brian Vince Smith gets out the soap and water sprayer to help discourage the aphids from living there. They have a garage sale a couple of times a year to clear things out so they can start on something new. They see possibilities everywhere, sometime stopping to pick up something from the side of the road to turn into a new treasure. The garden, watered by 10 rain barrels, shelters plants that are rarely seen in the area. A redwood tree had to be cut back, ginkgo biloba, mulberries and flowering cactus flourish. Harry Lauder’s walking stick, a contorted hazel wood made famous
by the Scottish comedian, keeps growing and buckthorn, blue bean and wild blackberry take their place in the mixed hedges. May is always looking for seeds and plants and people give them to her, happy to see them thrive with her touch. “The seed for these tomatoes was smuggled from Italy, the grapes and apples we grew from seeds. We grow a lot of vegetables and give away what we don’t need. I love plants, they don’t often disappoint you,� said May. “There’s still one thing I’d like to grow. I paid $39 for four monkey tree seeds and not one grew. I really wanted them.� Her indoor garden is just as fascinating. Huge African violets started as two leaves, orchids bloom for months, there’s a crown of thorns plant that someone brought as seed from Jerusalem. She’s not sure what the seed from Cuba will grow into but she’s watching the plant with interest. May is also an artist and her paintings and drawings decorate the walls of the house. It’s a comfortable place with two chairs arranged for reading with end tables made from the drawers of an old desk which had a ruined top. Back in the yard, May admires Brian in the workshop putting the finishing touches on a dresser for an upcoming garage sale, and looks around. “There’s something in bloom most of the year from the daphne in February to the old-fashioned roses in October. If we were younger, we’d have a bigger yard, but we find enough to keep busy here,� she said, smiling.

Many people view Christians with disdain THE REV. YME WOENSDREGT Special to The Morning Star
Recently, I came across a study about how 16–29 year olds perceive Christians. Conducted by David Kinnaman of the Barna Group, the results were published in “unChristian” (2007). The study documents that an overwhelming percentage of 16–29 year olds view Christians with hostility, resentment and disdain. For example, Christians are perceived to be “antihomosexual (91 per cent), judgmental (87 per cent), hypocritical (85 per cent), old–fashioned (78 per cent), too political (75 per cent), out of touch with reality (72 per cent), insensitive to others (70 per cent), boring (68 per cent). He says, “It would be hard to overestimate how firmly young people reject — and feel rejected by — Christians. These broadly and deeply negative views of Christians aren’t just superficial stereotypes with no basis in reality. This is based upon their real experiences with today’s
Kids: get creative Morning Star Staff

Christians. “Think about it this way. When you introduce yourself as a Christian to a friend, neighbour, or business associate who is an outsider, you might as well have it tattooed on your arm: anti–homosexual, gay–hater, homophobic. I doubt you think of yourself in these terms, but that’s what outsiders think of you.” If nothing else, it’s a wake-up call for today’s church. The early church grew up in an environment just as hostile as secular society today. Documents from that time, however, paint a different picture. Tertullian’s “Apology” described outsiders saying about Christians: “Look how they love one another … and how they are ready to die for each other.” Other documents show the same evidence. Early believers made their communities a lot more bear-
a new basis for social solidarity. And to cities faced with epidemics, fires and earthquakes, Christianity offered effective nursing services.” The church was attractive because they engaged in concrete actions which gave honour and dignity to every person. They did what Jesus did, embracing the outcasts and lifting up the poor and the powerless. It may not be “cool” to be Christian these days, but there are hungry and thirsty people all around us, people who are excluded and ostracized, homeless and abandoned. There are people all around us who are hungry for spirituality, who long for community, who ache to be embraced. There are people who long to be included It’s time for the church to be “for” something: justice; shalom; compassion; hope. It’s time for us to be known
able, even in the face of great persecution and martyrdom. They took care of each other, and their neighbours. They loved one another. They took care of each other when they were sick. They shared their wealth and relieved economic distress. When plagues hit ancient cities, Christians were the ones who stayed behind to take care of the sick and dying. The new faith was also very attractive for women, a highly vulnerable group in Roman society. Rodney Stark writes, “Christian believers offered hope and charity to the homeless and impoverished. To cities filled with newcomers and strangers, Christianity offered an immediate basis for attachments. To cities filled with orphans and widows, Christianity provided a new and expanded sense of family. To cities torn by violent ethnic strife, Christianity offered

Q: A:
Can Retractable Leashes be used all the time with my dogs?
They are used commonly, but there are pros and cons associated with these types of leashes. PROS: Use these leashes at dog parks to avoid off leash fines, and it’s a great tool for letting your dog run safely and under control. - Senior dogs with visual and/or hearing impairment can wander while staying safe on an extendable leash. - Allows the handler to set the brake if they are distracted. Dogs often can get into trouble, if you become preoccupied with tasks like poop-scooping. CONS: Its wise not to use them on sidewalks, they can tangle easily around trees, signs, benches and other pedestrians. - Do not use them on a pups collar as the tension will teach them to pull from a very young age. They are being rewarded by pulling, allowing them to move forward, for further freedom. Show your pup from the beginning that pulling on a leash is inappriopriate which will lead to further restraint. - Do not let dogs play while wearing these leashes, it can result in tangling , fights and injuries (rope burns). Remember courtesy and safety dictates that you have control of your dog at all times — Miles Latwat, DVM

Pianists have grand plans for CentreStage Grand piano fund-raiser to benefit community Morning Star Staff
A group of local musicians are raising money in hopes of purchasing a grand piano for a performing arts venue in Vernon. The Timeless Classics concert Tuesday will aid in the grand piano fund-raising project to benefit the newly-named CentreStage in the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living (OCSL), which currently uses a borrowed piano. The CentreStage mandate fits a broad OCSL focus on quality of life and positive change, and is managed by a separate core committee, said the centre’s music director Hannah Jukes. “Like many local churches and community halls, our facility is available for performing-arts use,” she said. “We also focus intensely on music as a supportive, healing and community-building activity for everyone.” A registered charity, the OCSL can also give tax receipts for donations towards the piano.

Hannah Jukes, left, Arne Sahlen, Max Lockwood, Lucas Pool and Julien Haynes perform Timeless Classics at the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living’s CentreStage Tuesday to raise funds for a new grand piano. Timeless Classics will feature young performers Curtis Hamm, Julien Haynes, Max Lockwood, Lucas Pool, as well as local piano instructor/festival adjudicator Arne Sahlen, who will present Beethoven, Gershwin, ragtime, Chopin, boogie, Star Wars, gypsy violin and more. Sahlen will also be joined by fel-
low pianist Jukes to play the lively rag-based duet, Canadian Capers. A recent arrival from Kimberley, Sahlen performs and teaches internationally, and is known for his good humour and lively commentary. He was once called the “Robin Williams of festival judges” by a B.C. parent.
“It never occurred to me when growing up that I was on the same musical path as professionals on tour,” said Sahlen, who is now a faculty member at the Vernon Community Music School and has also presented fund-raising events for the school’s Sound Foundation Capital Campaign.
“At these concerts, we are not students or teachers but colleagues in a supportive environment. Knowing that their time and talents can support worthy causes may help to deepen the musical commitment of these artistic and dedicated young people.” Classically trained, Sahlen has branched into playing ragtime, jazz and popular music, and even sings Cambodian folk songs, saying he appreciates all styles of music, from renaissance to world music to metal. “The arts sector is small enough as it is. If we split up into classical, country, bluegrass, jazz and so on, we weaken our support base even more,” he said. “Learning to explore beauty and quality in all music is good for players, listeners and the entire community.” The CentreStage aims to raise $11,000 by late summer for the piano. Coming events include a Jazz, Rag and Blues Night July 8, and a Flapper Picnic in Polson Park Aug. 28. Tuesday’s concert takes place at the CentreStage, 2913-29th Ave., at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation to the piano project. Call 250-5494399 for more information.
Visitors can go see art upon the mountain this summer KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
A number of artists and art lovers are flocking back to Silver Star Mountain next weekend for the official opening of Gallery Odin’s annual summer exhibition. The show, which coincides with the opening of the ski resort for the summer season, features the work of 27 Canadian artists who have been showing with the gallery for several years, as well as two artists new to the gallery. They include Rosanna Marmont, a young artist whose family lives in Falkland, who apprenticed as a ceramics artist in Saskatchewan and is showing eight of her small ceramic pieces at Odin. Penticton’s Debby Merkel (no relation to the chancellor of Germany) is an emerging painter who dabbles in colourful abstracts, landscapes and still-lifes. “It is a pleasure to show these artists, each with their own unique style that delights

Local sculptor Deborah Wilson is showing her translucent Italian alabaster celestial bowl and a pair of jade pears on a marble base. Other artists featured in the exhibition include Leonhard Epp, Lynn Grillmair, Ginny Hall, Corky Hewson, Bob Kingsmill, Jerry Markham, Elizabeth Moore, Jean-Francois Racine, Dana Roman, Al Scott, Todd White, and Charlene Woodbury. “All visitors should find something captivating in these interesting, eclectic works,” said the Molnars. Two opening receptions take place Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. Artists will be in attendance and refreshments will be served. The gallery is open Thursday and Saturday through the summer season, from 2 to 6 p.m. or call 250-503-0822 to visit at other times.

Gallery cheers Okanagan artists Morning Star Staff
It may be four days since the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins to end the hockey season, but the game, and aftermath, is still on everyone’s mind. Hockey, among other images, will be part of an exhibition that gets away from Vancouver and travels through the Okanagan this summer. Curated by Headbones owner/artist Julie Oakes, the exhibition, entitled Okanagan Eyes Okanagan Wise Okanagan-ise, opens Friday and is a sort of homecoming for the gallery and Oakes, who now runs the gallery with partner/curator Richard Fogerty. The exhibition features Okanagan artists who have at one time either been a part of Headbones when it first set up shop in Vernon more than a decade ago or are new to the gallery since it reopened at its new location on Old Kamloops Road earlier this year. “In the Okanagan, the sun and slopes have not distracted the artistic focus, but nourished it,” said Oakes. “There is something to be said for living the good life here in la-la land where Okanagan Eyes Okanagan Wise Okanagan-ise is just the tip of the bountiful cornucopia of creativity.” The exhibition is varied, from Glenn Clark’s hockey portrait of the
artist with his two nephews wearing North Okanagan Knights jerseys to David Alexander’s lively landscapes to the enigmatic photogravure by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller There’s also Steve Mennie’s work featuring realist ease with abstract meanderings, Byron Johnston’s quirky manipulation of quotidian life and the heavy metal originality of Geert Maas’, Doug Alcock’s or (combined with glass) David Montpetit’s and Bruce Taiji’s work. “It all adds up to a strong contemporary hit,” said Oakes. Also mixed into the exhibition is Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante’s Eye for an Eye, Ann Kipling’s drawings, Leonhard Epp’s ceramic narrative, the painting panache of Joice M. Hall and John Hall, Carl St. Jean’s cabinetry, Richard Suarez’s constructions, Jim Kalnin’s melding of architectonics with nature and Heidi Thompson’s grand colour field work. Okanagan Eyes Okanagan Wise Okanagan-ise opens with a reception at Headbones Gallery, 6700 Old Kamloops Rd., Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. Jazzing it up during the reception will be Jen Dyck on keyboard, Bill Lockie on bass and Steve Mennie on drums. The show runs to Aug. 20. Call 250-542-8987 for more information.

Arts Capsule Comments with
IAN JOHNSTONE Keeping a list of your current medications with you is a great idea. If you are alone and have a medical incident and are unable to speak, this list will help emergency personnel. One of the first things they want to know is what medications you are on. Longevity in Japan is one of the highest in the world. Perhaps the reason for this is found on a temple in Japan on how to live a long, healthy life: Economy of meat, salt, sugar, food in general, trouble, anger, talk, clothing, car-riding and material desires. It also says: Generosity with vegetables, vinegar, fruit, chewing, sleep, laughter, activity, bathing, walking and giving. Much truth here. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin which means it is not stored in the body. When you take a dose, your body grabs what it needs then the rest is excreted in the urine. How much do you need daily? About 200 mg. Above that, it ends up in the toilet. You can get your daily needs of vitamin C from two oranges. Actually, your body can get along quite well with 75 mg daily … that’s one orange. Having trouble sleeping is a common problem. There are products available without prescription that may help. They mostly contain an antihistamine sometimes combined with a pain reliever but are for short-term use only. Our pharmacists can advise you about these sleep-aid products. We are great believers in the idea that “before you take it, talk about it”. We can help.

Brandon Dorsey, aka Drive by Dreamer, releases his debut CD, Reverie, in his hometown of Armstrong at the Junction Café Thursday.
Dreamer drives his CD home Morning Star Staff
Brandon Dorsey is hoping his hometown crowd will stop on by when his alter ego, Drive by Dreamer, plays Armstrong’s Junction Café Thursday. Originally from Armstrong, Dorsey has returned home to release his debut album, Reverie, which he recorded while a student at the Centre for Arts and Technology (CATO). A digital composer, audio editor and designer, Dorsey has spent the past two years living in Kelowna to pursue his musical career, and just wrapped up studies with CATO’s audio engineering program. It was while at the school that he was able to make use of the studios there and record the full-length album under the name of his musi-
The
cal project, Drive By Dreamer. (Locals may also recognize Dorsey as the singing and dancing love interest, Jimmy, in Lights of Broadway’s production of Thoroughly Modern Millie in Vernon.) “If you took the acoustic passion from artists Dashboard Confessional and City and Colour; then the fun pop sounds of Owl City and NeverShoutNever; then wrap them up in a package of emotional storytelling, Drive By Dreamer is what you would receive,” said Dorsey in describing his music. “My hope is that you’ll hear these songs and relate to them. To put a smile on your face and brighten your day makes this all worth while.” Dorsey plays the Junction Cafe Thursday at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Farmers take a stand for the HST JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Kelowna cherry grower Christine Dendy comes from a pioneer family and has been in agriculture all of her life. Dendy recently joined Kelowna grape grower Doug Sperling, Enderby dairy farmer Lorne Hunter and the president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, Joe Sardinha, in standing up for the harmonized sales tax and urging everyone to vote in favour of the existing tax system in the upcoming referendum. With her accounting background, she says she’s been fighting the provincial sales tax for nine years because it adds to the cost of all the capital expenditures required to keep her growing and packing operation going. Waving her arm around the farmyard in front of her historic barn, she pointed out just some of the equipment on which she had to pay PST on the purchase price — whereas with the HST, she would have received refunds for the tax paid on those expenditures because they are not for personal use, but for agricultural use: to grow food. Food is supposed to be tax exempt in B.C., yet under the PST, farmers were charged PST on a lot of the costs to produce it. Dendy explained that the upcoming vote on the HST is not actually on whether we should have to pay it on doughnuts, but on whether we favour that system of tax collection or the PST system. The details of how much the tax is or
what it is to be paid on can all be changed whenever politicians decide to make alterations. The vote is on whether what Dendy says is a much simpler system should continue in place, or whether we want to go back to separate collection of both a PST and a federal tax. “The question is whether we want to ditch this simpler system of collecting tax.” She says the PST was totally unfair because it was hidden and imbedded in the costs of goods and services at the retail level, so either prices had to be raised to include it or businesses had to absorb the cost. The HST requires only one tax collection and audit bureaucracy to administer it instead of two and it’s a much simplified system for business, she notes. In addition, Dendy noted it would be a huge job to go back to the PST; re-instating that bureaucracy and re-training everyone involved, from small business to government staff. “It would be a huge job to go back and a big step backwards,” she said. Sperling noted that his industry is a critical agricultural sector in the Okanagan, and he said this is the biggest policy change to help farmers in a long time. “With the HST, we get our input taxes back, which helps local B.C. producers. There’s one simple, unified system of collecting.” It’s estimated the HST saves agriculture in B.C. $20 million, mostly on capital costs.

Team approach promoted for valley tourism ALISTAIR WATERS Black press
When it comes to tourism in the Southern Interior, the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts. At least that’s the message Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association chief executive officer Glenn Mandziuk wants to get out as TOTA embarks on a 10-month endeavour to create a strategic marketing plan to promote the region and gather information to develop a stronger industry here. The regional strategic plan, the
“This plan is designed to pull them all together.” — Glenn Mandziuk first of its kind in the province, will be an attempt to pull together the diverse elements that make up the $1 billion industry in the Interior. But drawing on the needs and

munity (tourism) plan and, up to now, those plans have, for the most part, been operating in isolation of each other,” said Mandziuk. “This plan is designed to pull them all together.” Mandziuk argues that tourists who come to the Okanagan tend to move around while they are here, in part because of the size of the region and the variation of what the region has to offer. But even if a visitor likes just one thing, often there are opportunities to try different variants
at sites scattered throughout the area. The strength of diversity this region offers is also one of the biggest challenges when it comes to marketing the Okanagan to the world. As part of TOTA’s strategic planning, consultation and prioritysetting with tourism stakeholders and community leaders across the region is taking place. Accommodation across the region generates about $260 million per year.

If you are currently paying for things like your children’s education costs from your after-tax income, the family trust can make a lot of sense. When properly structured, you don’t pay taxes on the capital gains earned within the trust, so your dollar goes a lot further in covering this sort of cost. Earn tax-free investment income The new tax-free savings account (TFSA) is a no-brainer for anyone looking to reduce taxes. With the TFSA, you can earn tax-free investment income and make tax-free withdrawals any time you want for any reason.

CALIFORNIA - Normally the emerald green swath is a golfer’s domain. Instead, on a chilly August Sunday, this oceanside fairway is bejewelled with ultra-rare, chrome encrusted, spit-and-polished, elegant, luxury automobiles. Dating from the 1910s to the 1960s, most of the cars are restored to impeccable standards. I asked a regular attendee for his estimate of what the cars on display are worth and he replies “About $100 million.” It’s not just the scent of the sea on the wind — you can almost smell the money. My husband Gary and I have joined our car pal John for the showing of his 1938 Czech made Tatra 77a at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Rather than just showing up for the day as many do, we are spending the week on southern California’s Monterey Peninsula, taking in many of the car events. John’s car arrives in one of the many transport trucks crammed onto the Pebble Beach polo field. Cars from all over the continent and as far away as Argentina or Switzerland are unloaded. Opposite the field is an auction tent with a large array of fancy cars for previewing. Overheard is a fellow debating about a $2 million Ferrari – something along the lines of, “I could buy it but then what would I do with it?” I agonize more over buying a new pair of shoes. Strolling towards the Lodge, we pass various manufacturers showing off their latest models and concept cars. Antique motorcycles are featured in one tent and another is chock-a-block full of collectible automobilia. One company hosts wine tastings and cooking demos as well. A little sip of

While we sip wine and munch trendy appetizers, representatives of the charities supported by the Concours are introduced. Some of that money one can smell around here supports, among others, the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, and a hospital for migrant workers. Learning about these contributions gives a balance to things in this heady world of privilege. Kicking off the Concours itself is the Tour d’Elegance.

While parked under the leafy trees of the main boulevard, the cars are admired, photographed, and drooled over. Finally, it is Concours day and the 18th fairway is an undulating wave of people and glistening chrome. The cars range from old timers with brass lanterns to one powered by a jet engine, to deluxe coupes. Some have such elegant lines, they could be considered sculptures. The judges make
their rounds and the owners stand by proudly. John looks dapper in his seersucker suit, his wife glamorous in mauve, and the car helpers wear vintage shop coats emblazoned with the Tatra emblem. They are fully in the spirit of the day, as are many others decked in period costumes to match their automobiles. Hundreds of spectators browse the cars and refresh themselves with picnic provisions; champagne is the drink of the day. Even if you are not a car buff, the people watching is good fun. Car guru Jay Leno
interviews John and later states on his website, “Developed by the legendary Hans Ledwinka and Paul Jaray, the revolutionary T77 may be the most aerodynamic production car ever made.” People swirl around the car all day, amazed at its streamlined, space age look and agog at its advanced 1930s engineering. The Tatra does not win an award but none the less, John is delighted to have brought the spirit of Ledwinka and Jaray for the first time to the extravagant Pebble Beach Concours. Karoline Cullen is

Similkameen prepares for air show PRINCETON - An aircraft with a long history will be flying the skies over Princeton this summer. The North American AT-6A (Harvard MK 2) Gunslinger will be part of the planes flying during the Princeton Airshow set for July 18. The Gunslinger was rolled out of the factory in Inglewood, Calif., armed with a 303 machine gun and bomb mount on Dec. 24, 1941.
It was slated to go to France, but when the Germans invaded France the aircraft was sent to Canada to become part of the Commonwealth pilot training program for the RAF/RCAF in January 1942, where she served training pilots until 1961. It was then sold through the Canadian government and was purchased privately by a person from the U.S. After about five owners and 45 years, Vic McMann purchased her in
Denver in 2007. The Gunslinger is the lightest version of the AT-6/Harvard family which make them the most desirable for racing. It has a stock Pratt & Whitney 1340 (600 hp) engine. This aircraft is just one of many performing at the airshow. Gates open at 9 a.m. July 18 and the aircraft will be available for further up close viewing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even if others do some things that displease you, for your own peace of mind view their behavior philosophically. It pays to keep everything in proper perspective. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you have to work in close conjunction with someone whom you’ve had a past disagreement with, keep to yourself and don’t make any waves. You’ll be the one labeled a troublemaker. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Unforeseen circumstances could force you to socialize with someone you’ve been trying hard to avoid. Keep your feelings to yourself rather than make a bad situation worse. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Someone whose nose you’ve rubbed in the dust recently might try to give you a taste of your own medicine. Stay above it all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Even if you believe your thinking and ideas are superior to those of your companions, keep your opinions to yourself. Instead, be extremely diplomatic and kind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Minimize your material desires by displaying an unconcerned attitude about what another person has. Look for the good in people, not what you can get out of them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re in for a big disappointment when you look back and find nobody
following your banner, all because you’ve been too forceful and insistent upon having your own way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Shame on you if you neglect someone who has come to your aid in the past just because you don’t want to help. You can’t feign ignorance of this person’s situation. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you find yourself facing a friend who’s constantly demeaning others, do what you can to convert him or her with reason. You can be the instrument for your pal’s conversion.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Behave as if everybody is watching you, because it’s likely that they are. Don’t do anything that would put your reputation in jeopardy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s not winning an argument that’s important, it’s keeping true to your standards or beliefs, especially if failing to do so labels you as something you’re not.
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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder L. Ron Hubbard said, “Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make your tomorrow.” In other words, don’t spend time ruing a bad result on an earlier deal. Concentrate on the cards you have now. You are in three no-trump. West leads the diamond two: four, three, seven. How would you continue? What do you think of the bidding? Did East make the right play at trick one? Taking the questions in reverse order, yes, East did make the right play. When you cannot contribute a nine or higher, give count. So, East played his lowest from an odd number. Note that allowing South to take the first trick with the seven instead of the jack makes no difference to the
number of tricks each side will get in the suit. I agree with North’s not using Stayman. With a strong doubleton, raise to three no-trump. You have seven top tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond (trick one) and two clubs. You can get at least one more winner from clubs. And you might gain an extra trick from either major. But you must be careful. Suppose you cash the club ace, play a heart to dummy’s queen, and run the club 10. Here, the finesse loses and a clever West will shift to a low spade. What will you do then? You don’t know whether to take the spade finesse or to win with dummy’s ace and rely on a 3-3 heart break. Instead,
before you try the club finesse, take three rounds of hearts ending in the dummy. When hearts are 3-3, you can cash the 13th before taking the club finesse. Your contract is guaranteed. But if hearts are 4-2 and the club finesse fails, you will know that you need the spade finesse.

After moving from Poland to England, he and his wife Betty moved to Canada in 1956. A short term in Montreal was followed by a move to Victoria . He spent most of his working life, until retirement, as a heavy duty mechanic for the BC Forest Service working out of many remote locations around the province. A proud moment for him was his time spent working on the WAC Bennett Dam project . After this he spent many years as a resident of Prince George before moving to Vernon. While living in Vernon, Tony loved camping at the Cottonwoods sites at Shuswap Lake, as well as square dancing, leather work and jigsaw puzzles . He shared this with a special person in his life, Iris Suf¿eld, who passed away a few years ago. Thank you to those who took care of him at Silver Springs Residence and a special thank you to Debbie, Carol and Lee from the Vernon Health Unit. Tony touched the lives of many people with his smile and sense of humour.

at the age of 90 in Vernon B.C. Katie was the youngest of seven children born into a family that travelled across Canada in the 1920’s at the direction of her father William “Willie” Davidson. During a part of that westward journey by the family Katie was born on a farm near in Provost Alberta. The farm was isolated and the task of registering the birth was delayed and sometime subsequently fell to a hired hand who managed to get both the spelling of her name and the birth date wrong. This lead to confusion about the actual day of her birth, a fact that she would sometimes exploit to choose a day in June that suited her for the celebration of her birthday. The family’s journey ended in Vancouver where growing up in the depression was not easy. The family bene¿ted from the contribution of her mother Josephine and her brothers and sisters: Marion, George, Ken, Walter, Eileen and Jack. Her older sister Marion was given responsibility for the younger children, including Katie, and she proved to be an excellent guide. Katie attended Lord Byng High School and excelled at sports. Swimming and diving were particular favourites and she competed in platform diving, eventually winning a place to represent Canada at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Sadly, she couldn’t afford the cost to travel to Europe and world events erased further opportunities to compete at this level. With war looming, Katie married her high school sweetheart, Norman Spencer, who signed up and went overseas as a pilot. He was listed as missing in action following a Àight to France and, like many of his generation, he did not return.
Marion A. McDonald Marion A. McDonald died peacefully at age 90 in the Polson Extended Care Unit of Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Vernon B.C. on March 21, 2011. She was the eldest daughter of the late William R. and Amy L. Moncrieī of Kamloops, B.C., and widow of A.J. (Bert) McDonald of Vernon. Marion was a scholar who graduated at the top of her class at Kamloops High School. AŌer her Senior MatriculaƟon, she aƩended St. Anne’s Academy where she graduated in business. She was employed at the Court House before proceeding to work in the Unemployment Insurance Commission at its incepƟon. AŌer marrying Albert McDonald she moved to North Vancouver where she was employed by the North Vancouver Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. She remained in their oĸces unƟl she reƟred and moved to Vernon, B.C. Marion had many other highly-honed skills. She was a cup-winning tennis player and badminton player. She played tennis at the old CNR courts in Kamloops. Marion was a member of both the Junior and Senior choirs of Kamloops United Church. She had a rich contralto voice and later sang with a trio. Marion was a kniƩer, crocheter, and delicate cut work embroiderer. In every one of her endeavors she excelled. AŌer reƟrement, Marion and Bert moved to Vernon where they both lived unƟl their deaths. They delighted in hiking, bird-watching, camping, and raising their three Australian terriers: Lara, Shelly, and Trek. Preceding her in death were her husband, Bert, and sisters Wilma Hilliard and Margaret Moncrieī. She is survived by a sister, Laurie Morris, nephews Clint Hilliard, Kerry Hilliard, Neil Hilliard, James Thomson, and a niece, Marianne Thomson. A memorial service will be held on June 22, 2011 at 2 pm at Trinity United Church, in Vernon B.C.

Katie loved music and dancing and told of weekend excursions to Bowen Island for dances. It was on an excursion to Comox after the war ended that she caught the eye of another handsome pilot, James (Dusty) Miller, a farm boy from Saskatchewan who had spent his war years Àying in Europe, India and China with the RAF and RCAF. Dusty and Katie were married in Toronto. Dusty stayed an active pilot in the RCAF serving with 435 and 436 transport squadrons. They moved many times during his air force career – to places such as Centralia, Claresholm, Barrie, Edmonton, Toronto and Ottawa. As a result they made many enduring life-long friends. Katie and Dusty eventually retired to a home they built by themselves in the Coldstream Valley near Vernon B.C. She was happiest when she was making others happy. Their house was a centre of hospitality and Katie produced wonderful meals for family and friends that were often served outside poolside. Her love of singing was re-kindled in Vernon through her involvement with the Sweet Adeline’s singing group. Singing gave her wings, and even in her ¿nal days the songs she sang with others and by herself provided comfort and set her free. Dusty pre-deceased Katie in 1991 but she is survived by her three sons, Jamie (and Elizabeth Kozub -Vernon), Rusty (and Patti McCunn-Miller – Calgary) and John (and Karen Miller – Calgary). She is also survived by her extraordinary care giver Nicky Johnson and her four legged best friend and companion Patty. She also has four beautiful grandchildren – Birch, Katie, Allie, Tyler and many nieces and nephews (including Elizabeth, Marion, Kathryn, Marie, Susan, Val and others .Also an extended family of special friends including Leanne, Laura, Grace, Helen, Jimmy and Darlene Kicey and Jack and Gwen Hairsine. Katie was loved by many and will be missed by all. She was a special person with a welcoming smile and an easy laugh. A remembrance of Katie’s life will be held Saturday June 25, 2:00pm to 5:00pm in The Fireside Lounge, at the Views Coldstream Meadows. Please call 250-275-4963 if you have questions. In lieu of Àowers, please consider donations to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, a special place where she spent her ¿nal days.

will celebrate her
80
th
Birthday
on June 21st.
Born Caroline Francis Will, in Calgary, Alberta, in 1931, Carol was the curly-haired smiling girl among 5 adoring brothers. She met the love of her life, Doug Fletcher, while he was on leave from the army, and the two were married 1 year later. They raised 4 children, Gordon, Betty, Barb and Carol Ann, moving to Vernon in 1960, to the beautiful Okanagan Valley where Doug had visited as a boy and always dreamed of returning. Carol was the kind of mother who was always home to meet everyone’s needs, from patching scraped knees and bruised egos to the mastery of housework, to creating homemade clothes for her kids, home canned fruits and vegetables, cooking up Doug’s hunting and Àshing catches, and receiving endless accolades for the best cabbage rolls and cabbage buns around. She joined the workforce when her kids were grown, enjoying the ofÀce work at Boyd Distributors in Vernon and making many new friends with her smart, efÀcient work ethic and friendliness and charm that have inspired lifelong friendships. After many happy winters exploring and lounging in the sun of Arizona, at 80, Mom is still smiling through the arthritis as she invites you in for a fresh pot of tea and cookies. She plays a mean game of Scrabble and enjoys winning the long games of dominoes that entertain her and Doug during evenings Àlled with laughter and good friends. She’s always had a warm heart and a sharp elbow to navigate down the road of life. Her family and friends wish her many more years of enjoying life, and, especially, all those delightful grandchildren. Special thoughts from Pat, Diana and the staff of Guardian Building Products, where she & Doug enjoy coffee with Pat and the staff every week.
